Taylor Academy 12e-N Nylon - Walnut / Spruce
Crafted for musicians who love the unique charm of nylon-string guitars, the Academy 12e-N combines comfort, affordability, and exceptional tone in one player-friendly package. Designed with both beginners and seasoned players in mind, this Grand Concert acoustic-electric features a solid torrefied spruce top, enhanced by a special roasting process that infuses warmth and depth into its vibrant clarity and rich projection.
The slightly wider 1-7/8" nut width offers generous string spacing, making it ideal for fingerstyle techniques while remaining gentle on the fretting hand. Perfect for those exploring classical or modern nylon-string tones, the compact Grand Concert shape ensures easy handling and a focused sound.
Equipped with Taylor’s ES-N electronics for natural amplified tone and shipped with a lightweight gig bag for on-the-go protection, the Academy 12e-N is a versatile, accessible instrument that’s ready to inspire musicians at every level.
