The Taylor Academy 12e is designed to bring out the best in players at any stage of their journey, blending comfort, playability, and Taylor’s renowned craftsmanship into one inviting package. With its compact Grand Concert body shape, this affordable model feels natural and approachable, especially for fingerstyle players or those who prefer a smaller-bodied guitar. The torrefied solid spruce top delivers a seasoned, broken-in tonal character with warmth and clarity, while layered walnut back and sides add depth and sustain. The result is a guitar that projects beautifully while maintaining balance across the tonal spectrum — and it’s available right now at Haggerty’s Music.

Playability is front and center on the Academy 12e. The beveled armrest provides a more relaxed playing posture, reducing fatigue for longer sessions. Meanwhile, the slim-profile Taylor Neck ensures smooth fretting and accurate intonation, making it an excellent choice for new learners as well as experienced guitarists seeking a comfortable practice or travel companion. With Taylor’s ES-B electronics, the Academy 12e can be easily amplified for gigs or recording, complete with a built-in digital tuner to keep you in tune wherever you play. A padded Taylor gig bag is included, making this an ideal all-in-one solution for students, travelers, and hobbyists alike.
