The Taylor Academy 12e-N was designed to make the nylon-string experience more approachable, comfortable, and inspiring for players of every skill level. This 2021 model delivers exactly that, and it’s available now at Haggerty’s Music. Built around Taylor’s compact and comfortable Grand Concert body shape, the Academy 12e-N blends the mellow warmth of a traditional nylon-string guitar with the effortless playability and modern ergonomics Taylor is known for. Whether you’re a classical player, fingerstyle songwriter, or steel-string guitarist looking to explore softer nylon textures, this model offers a welcoming and highly musical playing experience.

Its solid torrefied spruce top produces a warm, open response with impressive clarity and dynamic range, while the layered walnut back and sides add balance, projection, and durability. Nylon strings offer a smooth, forgiving feel that’s easy on the fingertips, making long practice sessions and expressive fingerstyle passages feel natural and relaxed. Taylor’s beveled armrest further enhances comfort, while the flat ebony fingerboard and standard Taylor neck carve provide a modern crossover feel that appeals equally to classical and contemporary players. Tonally, the Academy 12e-N excels at warm fingerpicked arrangements, Latin-inspired rhythms, folk accompaniment, and intimate singer-songwriter performances.

Equipped with Taylor’s ES-N electronics system, this guitar is ready for stage and studio use with an authentic amplified nylon-string voice that preserves the instrument’s natural warmth and articulation. The included structured Taylor gig bag makes transport simple and secure, while the guitar’s overall lightweight feel and balanced response make it an ideal companion for practice, recording, travel, or live performance. Combining comfort, versatility, and rich nylon-string character, the Academy 12e-N is an inviting and inspiring instrument for players at any stage of their musical journey.
