Taylor Craftsmanship Meets Empowered Learning

The Taylor Academy series is the perfect choice for beginners and pros alike who seek Taylor quality on a budget and advantageous features. The Academy 12e-N features a slim neck, ample string spacing, and a radiused fingerboard for maximum comfort. The tapered waist of Taylor’s signature Grand Concert body creates a more comfortable classical guitar with wonderful articulation for fingerpicking. Other key features include a resonant lutz spruce top, ebony fingerboard, maple neck, and ES-N electronics.

Comfort now, not later

The Academy series not only boasts legendary Taylor quality, but it is also packed with subtle perks for an enhanced playing experience. Helpful touches include the built-in armrest, which softens the contact point between your arm and the guitar for more relaxed playing, and a 1.875-inch nut for a more relaxed string feel. These bold touches connect your fingertips to the music and will keep you playing on.

Premium picks for outstanding sound

Premium tone requires excellent wood, and that’s why the Academy 12e-N features a lutz spruce top specially selected to enhance nylon strings and fingerstyle dynamics. Lutz spruce’s light weight and tonal qualities help notes ring true with balance and sustain. The Academy 12e-N also features a sturdy maple neck, an ebony fingerboard, and layered sapele back and sides. Together, these tonewoods deliver value that looks, sounds, and feels incredible.

Plug-in anytime

The onboard Taylor ES-N electronics let you plug the Academy 12e-N in at a moment’s notice. The ES-N system is specifically designed for nylon string guitars, so you get a natural and warm amplified sound.
