Taylor A12e Natural with original gig bag

Summary: Taylor’s Academy Series makes the playing experience more accessible in every way, packing signature Taylor playing features into an affordable package. With the Academy 12e, our compact Grand Concert body makes the perfect companion for fingerpicking or anyone with a lighter touch who craves the physical comfort of a small-body guitar. The guitar’s design specs are optimized for playing ease.

Body: The lightweight guitar body, featuring layered sapele back and sides with a solid Sitka spruce top, boasts an ergonomic armrest that enhances the playing comfort for one’s picking arm. The guitar was also voiced to be extra responsive to make the playing experience as relaxed as possible.

Neck: Taylor’s patented, slim-profile neck features an array of hand-friendly touches: a shorter 24-7/8-inch scale length, 1-11/16-inch nut width. It is a mahogany neck with an ebony fretboard, 20 frets, pearl dots and a strap button installed on the treble side of the heel.

Pickups/Hardware: The guitar comes with an onboard ES-B pickup that includes a built-in digital chromatic tuner and nickel tuning machines. It also has a Nubone Nut, ebony bridge and Micarta Saddle.

Cosmetics: This guitar has some minor play wear on the top and a couple small dings on the edge. The finish has been worn through a little bit from picking. There is also a very small amount of fret wear but the guitar plays very well.

Playability: This Taylor has just been set up with a new set of 12’s and it sounds and plays great. The action is low & the guitar plays great up & down the fingerboard.

Weight: 4 lbs, 3 oz.

Case: This Taylor ships with original Taylor gigbag.
