Overview

Designed with newer guitar players in mind but appealing to experienced players as well, the Academy 10e combines the rich voice of the Dreadnought body shape with a comfortable feel that will encourage beginners to grow their skills. A solid torrefied spruce top serves up plenty of volume and articulation with a splash of played-in sweetness, making this a musically versatile choice for players wanting a guitar with a broad sonic range. In this model, the slender Taylor neck features a slightly narrower nut width of 1-11/16", helping make chords and notes easier to hold, and the armrest takes some pressure off your strumming arm. The Academy 10e includes an ES-B pickup with a built-in digital tuner and a gig bag.

• Solid torrefied spruce top for projection and clarity
• Traditional Dreadnought shape with slighty shorter scale
• Slender neck and scaled-down body for comfort
• Armrest and light strings provide a relaxed feel
• Features onboard electronics with digital tuner
• Made in Tecate, Mexico
