2026 Taylor Academy 12e Natural
Whether you’re a student or set for the stage, Taylor’s Academy series is a superb choice for any guitarist seeking a slimmed-down, stripped-back 6-string with signature Taylor tone. Refreshed with a remarkably responsive torrefied spruce top and crisp-sounding walnut back and sides, this Grand Concert-size instrument delivers lush sonic depth and perfect string-to-string balance when played unplugged. The neck’s premium specs more than match this guitar’s top-notch body construction, with a stout shaft of maple supporting a gorgeous ebony fingerboard. You also get excellent Taylor ES-B electronics that allow you to effortlessly take the stage with dynamic and rich-sounding acoustic-electric tones. The Academy series is built not just for the extra mile but also for the long haul
