Taylor Academy Series A12E-N Nylon Concert, Lutz Spruce Top, Layered Sapele Back & Sides Taylor

The Taylor Academy Series A12-N is an acoustic-electric nylon-string Grand Concert style guitar offers affordability without compromising Taylor’s classic playability and tone. This instrument is a testament to Taylor’s commitment to making quality guitars accessible to a broader audience, and features a fingerboard made of West African Crelicam Ebony, known for its smooth texture and durability. A 4mm dot fingerboard inlay provides a subtle yet elegant touch, enhancing both visual appeal and playability. With a scale length of 25-1/2″, the A12-N offers a comfortable and familiar playing experience, making it suitable for players of all levels.

Classical nickel tuning machines ensure precise and stable tuning, and the varnish finish not only adds a touch of sophistication but also contributes to the overall resonance and projection of the guitar. Transportation is made easy with the included gig bag, providing adequate protection for your instrument on the go. The body dimensions of 15″ width, 4 3/8″ depth, and 19 1/2″ length make the A12-N a compact and comfortable guitar to play.

A three-ring birch rosette adds a subtle aesthetic detail, complementing the guitar’s overall design, and the neck, with a width of 1-7/8″ and a Taylor Neck joint, ensures a comfortable playing experience across the entire fretboard. The A12-N also features a slotted peghead design, adding a classic touch to the instrument’s appearance. This, combined with the black plastic truss rod cover, creates a cohesive look.

Tonally, the A12-N excels with a layered sapele back and sides paired with a solid Lutz spruce top. The internal bracing is carefully designed to project a warm, mellow nylon voice with crisp percussive appeal, making this an instrument that responds with clarity and versatility.

Equipped with the ES-B pickup system, the A12-N allows an easy transition to the amplified realm. The onboard digital tuner with an LED display adds convenience for tuning, while the low battery indication prevents unexpected interruptions during performances.
