Taylors Academy series was designed from the ground up to be some of the most comfortable guitars to play, and the Academy 12-N expands on that by delivering one of the most ergonomic nylon-string guitars ever. Featuring a slightly narrower nut width than others of it kind, fretting chords will be effortless to the player. The built-in armrest allows for unprecedented playability, while the non-cutaway Grand Concert body size will fit comfortably in anyones arms. The combination of a Lutz Spruce top, layered Sapele backs/sides, and the beautiful West African Ebony fretboard provide a versatile sonic palate. The Taylor Academy 12-N is not only an excellent choice for someone looking for their first nylon-string instrument, but their first guitar in general.
