Product Description

Here's what Taylor say about the Academy 12 Grand Concert:

Our signature Grand Concert body shape brings our high standards of comfort and playability to the Academy Series, our line of budget-friendly guitars. Built with new players in mind, the A12 incorporates a sleek body shape with our trademark neck design and an ergonomic armrest for a truly player-friendly experience.

A slightly shorter, 24-7/8-inch scale length also contributes to the smooth feel of the A12, making it easier to fret strings, hold chords, and bend notes as you learn to navigate the neck of an acoustic guitar. But the A12 serves up more than just a comfortable feel, yielding a balanced, robust sound that mingles the sparkle of solid spruce with the punchy, responsive midrange of layered sapele.

With that versatile sound and a forgiving, unintrusive design, the A12 gives you the power to pursue your musical inspiration, whether it's your first guitar or a new addition for your collection.

Grand Concert Shape

A smaller-bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle.

Sitka Spruce Top Wood

The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.

Layered Sapele Body Wood

Layered wood construction is used to offer attractive, durable and affordable models.

Non-cutaway

The clean, symmetrical look of a traditional acoustic guitar.

There were a couple of small chips on the fingerboard, but because I needed the guitar urgently, I kept the item. Looking back, I should have sent it back really.
