Taylor Academy Series Acoustic Guitars
Taylor Academy Series Guitars: Advanced Design. Affordable Price.
Designed to provide signature Taylor playability and vibrant tone at an accessible price, the Academy Series blends innovative features with a comfort-focused design philosophy. New players will appreciate features such as a narrower 1-11/16" nut width for relaxed fretting and a carved armrest for a seamless, accommodating feel. Together with the light-gauge strings and 24-7/8" scale length, those elements add up to a slinky handfeel that makes it easier to grow your skills. Solid tops produce rich projection and clarity, and models with electronics also boast a built-in digital tuner. Whether you're just picking your first guitar or hunting for a more affordable Taylor experience, the Academy Series is for you.
FEATURES
Comfortable Guitars, Big Tone, Great Price
Between ergonomic contours, playable necks, solid tops and pragmatic accessories, the Academy Series has everything a new player could need to start a new musical adventure.
Solid Tops for Bold Sound and Projection
Every Academy Series guitar is built with a solid-wood top, meaning a single piece of spruce through its thickness. The result is a powerful, clear acoustic voice that can be heard alongside vocals or other instruments.
Player-Friendly Curves and a Slender Neck
The armrest built into every Academy Series guitar is a premium comfort feature usually reserved for much more expensive guitars. Likewise, the slim Taylor Neck design gives these guitars a high-end, accommodating feel.
ES-B Electronics with Built-In Digital Tuner
All three base models in the Academy Series offer optional ES-B electronics, which include an acoustic pickup for rich amplified tone and a digital tuner with an easy-to-read LED display.
Practical, Modest Visual Style
We've kept the appointment package for the Academy Series focused on performance with unbound edges, a herringbone rosette, a satin finish and 4mm dot fretboard inlays.
Options for Steel or Nylon Strings
The Academy Series boasts two steel-string guitars—a compact Grand Concert model and a classic Dreadnought. The Series also features the Academy 12-N, a nylon-string Grand Concert with a snappy, neo-classical sound and a neck catered to fingerstyle play.
Gig Bags Included with Every Guitar
Every guitar in the Academy Series ships with a durable, lightweight gig bag for transportation and storage.
