Customer bought this guitar intending to learn to play but it ended up staying in its bag. Excellent condition, sounds and plays great. Includes branded like-new Taylor gig bag.
"The Taylor Academy series is the perfect choice for beginners and pros alike who seek Taylor quality on a budget and advantageous features. The Academy 12e features a slightly shorter scale, a narrowed nut, and a slim neck for maximum comfort. The tapered waist of Taylor’s signature Grand Concert body creates a more comfortable acoustic with wonderful articulation for fingerpicking. Other key features include a resonant sitka spruce top, ebony fingerboard, maple neck, and ESB electronics. The Academy series is built not just for the extra mile but also for the long haul.
The Academy series not only boasts legendary Taylor quality, but it is also packed with subtle perks for an enhanced playing experience. Helpful touches include the built-in armrest, which softens the contact point between your arm and the guitar for more relaxed playing, light-gauge strings, and a slightly shortened scale that makes notes and chords easier to hold without fatigue. These bold touches connect your fingertips to the music and will keep you playing on."
