Taylor Academy 12e acoustic guitar focused on playing comfort
With the Taylor Academy 12e, ease of playing and comfort come first. For the Academy series, Taylor designed a simply appointed but very good-sounding acoustic guitar without binding or decorative details, keeping the focus on the player.
One standout detail is the rounded edge on the body, which gives your arm a more comfortable resting point. The scale length, or string length, is slightly shorter than normal at about 63 cm. That lowers the string tension a little, so this acoustic guitar feels easier and smoother to play.
Build of the Taylor Academy series
The Taylor Academy 12e combines a solid spruce top with layered sapele back and sides. This wood combination is used across the different Academy versions and forms the basis of this natural-finish guitar.
The standard strings are also slightly thinner than usual, which adds to the overall playing comfort. If you are looking for an acoustic guitar aimed at relaxed practice and lesson use, this Taylor is a strong match. At Magna Music, you can also get personal advice from people who play themselves.
