This 2018 Taylor Academy 12 is a sleek, Grand Concert acoustic guitar designed to bridge the gap between beginner playability and professional-grade performance. It features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with layered sapele back and sides, delivering a crisp, balanced tone with surprising projection for its compact size. The standout feature of this model is the built-in ergonomic armrest, a luxury typically reserved for high-end instruments, which significantly reduces forearm fatigue during long sessions. With its shorter 24-7/8-inch scale length and slim neck profile, the Academy 12 offers a light string tension that makes it an incredibly approachable and comfortable choice for fingerstyle players and students alike.
Notes:
This 2018 Taylor Academy 12 acoustic guitar is in Very Good condition, part of a climate-controlled family collection, with very light visible wear (pictured) consistent with age and appropriate home use. Includes original padded gig bag and materials.
