Taylor Academy 10e Acoustic Guitar - Natural

One of the biggest reasons budding guitarists lose interest in learning and playing the guitar is due to the lack of quality, playability and sound of many entry-level instruments. Keeping this in mind, Taylor is proud to introduce the Academy Series of instruments, which gives students and beginners an affordable instrument that doesn't sacrifice in quality, playability and tone. Making a Taylor guitar more accessible than ever before, the Academy Series was developed with the novice guitarist in mind, but is equally suited for seasoned players that are looking for a budget-friendly option. Each Academy Series model boasts Taylor's signature sleek, hand-friendly necks, a comfortable armrest, great sound, and Taylor-quality construction.

Ideal for strummers and flatpickers on a budget, the Academy 10e A10e features a big-voiced Dreadnought body that's made from layered sapele back & sides with a solid Sitka spruce top to produce warm lows and a nice top-end punch. The A10e also features an ergonomic armrest, which offers an ultra-comfortable playing experience while adding an elegant look. The sapele neck offers an outstanding playing feel thanks to its slim profile design, shorter 24-7/8" scale length, narrower 1-11/16" nut width, low action, and light gauge strings. Ready to plug in and play? The Taylor A10e comes equipped with onboard ES-B electronics featuring Taylor Expression System 2 piezo design elements for superb plugged-in sound. The preamp also boasts a built-in digital chromatic tuner so that you can be sure your guitar's in tune. Comes complete with lightweight gig bag.
