This 2025 Taylor Academy 12e-N is in excellent condition, with only a few small dings on the top, some scratching on the bottom, and light discoloration on the back(see photos). It includes its original gig bag.

From Taylor about this model:

"Designed to offer a comfortable, affordable option for players seeking the nylon-string sound with player-friendly features, the Academy 12e-N serves up snappy neo-classical tone with a feel that's perfect for new learners and experienced players alike. A solid torrefied spruce top treated with a special roasting process adds extra depth and warmth to its bold projection and clarity. This compact Grand Concert acoustic-electric also sports a 1-7/8" nut width, providing ample string spacing for fingerstyle play without putting undue strain on your fretting hand. And with built-in ES-N electronics and a lightweight gig bag for protection, the Academy 12e-N has everything a budding player could need."

Key Features of the Academy 12e-N at a glance:

Grand Concert body size/shape: A smaller-bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle.

Layered Walnut Back and Sides: Walnut’s crisp highs are balanced by a deep, woody low end that emerges as the guitar is played in.

Torrefied Spruce Top: Treated with Taylor's special roasting process, torrefied spruce tops deliver all the clarity, balance and projection you’d expect from a traditional spruce top with an extra dash of warmth and played-in depth.

ES-B Electronics: This pickup/preamp combo includes a built-in digital chromatic tuner.
