Get a comfortable, easy-playing Taylor acoustic-electric with the Taylor Academy 12e in Natural, available at Irvine Art and Music. This compact Grand Concert body is a great fit for fingerstyle, lighter strumming, and smaller-body comfort—while still delivering clear projection and a warm, balanced voice that works for lessons, songwriting, and everyday playing.

The Academy 12e pairs a torrefied spruce top with layered walnut back and sides for a touch of played-in warmth and a focused, musical response. A built-in armrest keeps long sessions comfortable, and Taylor’s ES-B electronics with an onboard digital tuner make it simple to plug in for rehearsal, church, and small gigs without extra gear.
