Comfortable Guitars, Big Tone, Great Price
Between ergonomic contours, playable necks, solid tops, and pragmatic accessories, the Taylor Academy 12-N Nylon Serieshas everything a new player could need to start a new musical adventure

Solid Tops for Bold Sound and Projection
Every Academy Series guitar is built with a solid-wood top, meaning a single piece of spruce through its thickness. The result is a powerful, clear acoustic voice that can be heard alongside vocals or other instruments

Player-Friendly Curves and a Slender Neck
The armrest built into every Academy Series guitar is a premium comfort feature usually reserved for much more expensive guitars. Likewise, the slim Taylor Neck design gives these guitars a high-end, accommodating feel.

Practical, Modest Visual Style
We’ve kept the appointment package for the Academy Series focused on performance with unbound edges, a herringbone rosette, a satin finish,h and 4mm dot fretboard inlays.

Options for Steel or Nylon Strings
The Academy Series boasts two steel-string guitars—a compact Grand Concert model and a classic Dreadnought. The Series also features the Academy 12-N, a nylon-string Grand Concert with a snappy, neo-classical sound and a neck catered to fingerstyle play.

Gig Bags Included with Every Taylor Academy 12-N Nylon Guitar
Every guitar in the Academy Series ships with a durable, lightweight gig bag for transportation and storage.
