Taylor Academy 12 Grand Concert Acoustic Guitar

With the new Academy series, Taylor Guitars has packed the bare essentials of what a player of any level needs in a reliable, solid playing acoustic instrument. The Academy 12 is a Grand Concert sized body with a slightly shorter 24-7/8" scale length and 1-11/16" nut width, offering a slinkier feel and a narrower nut width for enhanced comfort, particularly for beginner players. The body also features a built-in armrest that softens the edge of the treble-side lower bout, further improving the playing comfort. Accompanying the guitar is a sturdy lightweight gig bag.

The instrument boasts a 6-string Acoustic Guitar with a Sitka Spruce Top, Layered Sapele Back and Sides, a Hard Rock Maple Neck, and an Ebony Fingerboard, all finished in a Natural color. This combination of materials and design elements ensures a reliable, solid-playing acoustic guitar suitable for players of any level.

The shorter scale length and narrower nut width of the Academy 12 make it an exceptionally comfortable choice, particularly for beginner players who may find the traditional full-size guitar neck a bit challenging. The built-in armrest further enhances the playing comfort by softening the edge of the lower bout, allowing for a more relaxed and natural hand position.

Accompanying the guitar is a sturdy lightweight gig bag, providing convenient and protective transportation for the instrument. This thoughtful inclusion ensures the guitar can be easily and safely transported, making it an ideal choice for both practice and performance.

In summary, the Taylor Guitars Academy series, and specifically the Academy 12 model, offers a well-designed and versatile acoustic guitar that caters to players of all levels. The combination of a Grand Concert body, slimmer neck, and built-in armrest creates a comfortable and playable instrument, while the inclusion of a protective gig bag adds to the overall convenience and value of the package. This guitar is an excellent choice for those seeking a reliable and comfortable acoustic guitar that can grow with their playing abilities.
