Academy 12e-N

Nylon-string guitars have grown in popularity over the years, but not every steel-string player wants to adapt to the feel of the flatter, wider fretboard found in true classical or Spanish guitars. The Taylor Academy 12e-N plays like steel-string guitar but retains the unique voice of its nylon strings. Equipped with the built-in ES-B electronics, this is a stage-ready Grand Concert that punches above its weight in terms of price, with more high-end features like an ergonomic armrest and solid Lutz spruce top. Together with the short-scale neck, the Academy 12e-N provides a slinky, relaxed playing feel that will help new players develop their skills. It also includes a soft gig bag for safe transport.
