6-string Acoustic-electric Guitar with Walnut Top, Walnut Back and Sides, Maple Neck, and Ebony Fingerboard – Natural

An All-walnut Take on the Academy Series

Taylor’s Academy 22e puts an all-walnut spin on the renowned Academy series! The 22e is an ideal choice for both students and pros alike, boasting enhanced playability and a slim Grand Concert body to facilitate easy learning, while top-tier Taylor tone and construction mean that it will remain a relevant tonal tool long after your student days are through. In fact, plenty of guitarists favor Academy Series instruments like the 22e for their comfortably reduced scale length, high-end tonewoods (check out that hard rock maple neck and ebony fingerboard), and ergonomic armrest — it’s the perfect couch or songwriting guitar. A solid walnut top and layered walnut back and sides produce a bright, clear tone that also delivers formidable body and projection, allowing the 22e to tackle a myriad of styles and genres. Finally, when it’s time to make your way up onstage, the built-in ES-B 1.2 electronics effortlessly electrify your playing and authentically capture the 22e’s rich unplugged tone.

Warm tone and crisp clarity

The Taylor Academy 22e takes a rather sharp turn from the standard Academy formula with an all-walnut body construction, producing a focused tone loaded with both clarity and warmth. A solid walnut top reduces your overtones and doubles down on the fundamental for a powerfully defined midrange. Matching layered walnut sides complement the mid-forward walnut top with a sparkling high-end shimmer — ideal for strumming singer/songwriters looking for a beautiful backdrop for their vocals. Plus, the petite Grand Concert body size is a natural choice for fingerpickers of all styles, allowing each and every note you pluck to remain clear, present, and true.

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; light-gauge strings; and a slightly shortened scale that makes notes and chords easier to hold without fatigue. These bold touches connect your fingertips to the music and will keep you playing on.

Taylor’s trusty ES-B 1.2 preamp system

Whether you’re tracking via direct input in the studio or plugging into an acoustic amp or sound system for a live show, trust in Taylor’s ES-B 1.2 pickup and preamp system for clear acoustic translation and maximum on-hand convenience. The ES-B 1.2 houses a versatile 3-band EQ, allowing you to bring up the bass, scoop the midrange, or enhance the top end for a tone that sits perfectly in your specific mix. In addition to a master volume leveler, the ES-B 1.2 also showcases a chromatic tuner and low-battery indicator, eliminating the surprises of intonation slips and low power so that you stay in the know before and throughout every show.
