The Academy Series represents Taylor’s effort to support the development of the entry-level guitar player. The Playing ExperienceAcademy Series guitars, like this Academy Series 12e Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar, was designed to offer enough immediate gratification to encourage a new player to keep playing. To do so, the playing experience was Taylor’s priority:• Easy to hold and play: the body is comfortable and lightweight. The guitar is easy to strum and fret.• Rewarding sound: this guitar yields a good sound easily in the hands of a newer player.• Not too precious. Durable. Minimal. A guitar that’s too precious can be intimidating for a novice to play and care for.• Broad appeal: it covers a broad range of music preferences.Function and FormThe Academy Series 12e Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar is intended as a fingerstyle guitar with the added benefit of a more compact body size for extra playing comfort. The wood pairing is a solid spruce top with layered sapele back and sides. Genuine African ebony – not man-made substitutes - is used for the fingerboard and bridge, just as with all other Taylor models.The neck is a fully engineered version of Taylor’s patented design, allowing for precise calibration of the neck angle and smooth serviceability throughout the guitar’s life. To enhance the handfeel and overall playability for entry-level players, Taylor chose a 24-7/8" scale length with a 1-11/16" nut width. The guitar’s top bracing and other internal architecture were optimized for volume and projection. It has full-size guitar dimensions. It has the right depth and width for the right internal architecture, with a seriously straight and true neck on it. These things were meant to go together as a whole without compromising musical function.
