Taylor Academy 12  

The Academy Series

The Academy series contains great guitars for an awesome price. All the guitars are Taylor standard, which means they sound and feel like a real Taylor. In this series, Taylor prioritises tone and comfort. As such, the guitars have carved armrests and a narrower neck. All guitars in the series have a solid top for a beautiful projection and an authentic sound.

The Academy 12

The Academy 12 is a nice guitar. The body has a solid spruce top and laminated walnut back and sides. This will result in a rich and warm sound. The guitar has a maple neck and an eucalyptus fretboard. The guitar has a Grand Concert body, which is a comfortable shape that is a bit smaller than the Dreadnought. The neck is also a bit shorter which makes it more suitable for smaller or younger guitar players. Furthermore, the shape gives the guitar a nicely balanced sound.

Taylor

Taylor is an American company that was founded in 1974 when two boys bought an old hippie guitar shop. The boys were very passionate about guitars and put a lot of energy into the shop. Eventually, the shop evolved into an international company. All Taylor guitars today are made in either El Cajon in California or Tecate in Mexico. Taylor is very proud of this, because guitars that are produced close to headquarters go through a more thorough quality control process and employee satisfaction is better regulated. Taylor prioritises tone and comfort. All guitars are perfected and with modern luthier techniques the guitars can be made with more precision and consistency.
