The Taylor Academy 12e is the kind of acoustic that makes you want to pick it up and play, whether you're just getting started or have been playing for years. Its compact Grand Concert body is comfortable and approachable, with a balanced response that makes it especially well suited to fingerstyle playing and players who prefer a smaller-bodied guitar. The torrefied solid spruce top brings a seasoned, broken-in character to the sound, with warmth and clarity that opens up nicely as you play, while the layered walnut back and sides add depth and sustain.

Comfort is a major part of what makes the Taylor Academy 12e so inviting. The beveled armrest gives your picking arm a more relaxed place to rest, making longer playing sessions easier, while the slim Taylor neck provides a smooth, comfortable feel for fretting and chord changes. It is an easy guitar to live with for practice, songwriting, lessons, or travel, and the combination of its compact body and comfortable neck makes it equally appealing to experienced players looking for a relaxed everyday instrument.

When you want to plug in, the Taylor Academy 12e is ready with Taylor's ES-B electronics and built-in digital tuner, giving you a straightforward way to take its acoustic voice to a stage, rehearsal, or recording setup. A padded Taylor gig bag is included, making the Academy 12e a complete and practical package right out of the box. Comfortable, responsive, and easy to enjoy, it captures the approachable side of Taylor's design without sacrificing the musical character that keeps you coming back to it. Available now at Haggerty's Music.
