The Taylor Academy 12e-N Grand Concert nylon-string acoustic-electric guitar gives you a premium playing experience at an affordable price. Designed for beginners and pros alike, this lightweight, comfortable guitar produces a bold, resonant tone perfect for any style.

Premium Materials for an Authentic Sound

The Academy 12e-N's solid torrefied spruce top and layered walnut back and sides give you a warm, balanced tone with crisp articulation. The ebony fingerboard and bridge provide smooth playability and sustain. Together, these premium woods create an authentic nylon-string sound that inspires you to keep playing.

Slim Neck and Lightweight Body For Comfort

With its slim maple neck and compact body, the Academy 12e-N feels light and comfortable in your hands. The 24.875" scale length and 1.875" nut width make fretting chords and melodies effortless. Whether you're a beginner building calluses or a pro performing all night, this guitar helps you focus on your music rather than your fingers.

Onboard Electronics For Amplified Sound

The Academy 12e-N features Taylor's ES-B pickup system, which captures the nuances of your playing and translates them into an amplified signal. Adjust the volume and tone with the easy-to-use knobs or shape your sound further with the 3-band EQ. When plugged in, this guitar provides a natural amplified tone for any venue.

Superior Quality for the Money

While the Academy 12e-N is an affordable model, it upholds the same standards of quality as Taylor's high-end guitars. With its solid construction, premium components and comfortable feel, this guitar provides professional performance at a price anyone can afford. For nylon-string tone and playability that inspires, the Taylor Academy 12e-N delivers.

    Can these be strung with steel stings after my fingers toughen up?
If so, will it be essentially the same guitar that comes with steel strings?
