Taylor Academy 12e-N Nylon String Acoustic Electric Guitar New

Warm Nylon Tones – The Taylor Academy 12e-N Nylon String Acoustic Electric Guitar

Designed to offer a comfortable, affordable option for players seeking the nylon-string sound with player-friendly features, the Academy 12e-N serves up snappy neo-classical tone with a feel that’s perfect for new learners and experienced players alike. A solid torrefied spruce top treated with a special roasting process adds extra depth and warmth to its bold projection and clarity.
