Not only do they boast the company's legendary quality, but they are jam-packed with revolutionary touches that make them supremely playable for beginners and seasoned players alike. The most obvious addition is the built-in armrest for softening the contact point between the guitar's body and the player's arm. The guitar's neck is a bit shorter, softening the action of the strings. And light-gauge strings are used to further create an instant bond between fingertips and the guitar's sleek ebony fretboard.Perfectly worn-in spruce top It’s an almost universally accepted fact among musicians that acoustic instruments develop a more mellow and responsive tone over time, often taking a lifetime’s worth of breaking in until they reach their full sonic potential. For those of us who would rather skip ahead a few decades of hard-won tonewood aging, Taylor’s cutting-edge torrefaction process perfectly mimics the feel of an aged top right out of the box. How does it work? By roasting this guitar’s spruce top in a specialized oven, Taylor dramatically accelerates the natural “opening up” of the top to capture all the touch-sensitive resonance and lush vibrance of an acoustic guitar that’s been played in for years.Plug-in anytime The onboard Taylor ES-B electronics let you plug the Academy 12e-N in at a moment’s notice. The ES-B system is one of the most natural and warm-sounding acoustic-electric designs on the market because it’s based on elements of Taylor's acclaimed Expression System 2. ES-B’s separate volume and EQ sliders allow you to tweak your sound to perfection, and an onboard tuner ensures pitch-perfect performances every time.Taylor Academy 12e-N Nylon-string Acoustic-electric Guitar Features: Grand Concert body shape’s slim articulate profile is perfect for fingerstyle Torrefied spruce top provides a rich, resonant, and aged-in response from first strum Layered walnut back and sides sculpt sound with depth and dimension Hard-rock maple neck with ebony fingerboard and a slim profile is easy to play 1.87-inch nut width offers a slimmer, more comfortable feel compared to a traditional nylon-string guitar's wide 2-inch nut width Nubone nut and micarta saddle enhance vibrational transfer from string to body Taylor ES-B electronics feature a built-in tuner and tone/volume controls SpecificationDetail String Type Nylon Number of Strings 6 Body Shape Academy 12eN Grand Concert Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Color Natural Finish Matte Top Wood Torrefied Spruce Back & Sides Wood Layered Walnut Body Bracing Academy Series Nylon Bracing Neck Wood Neo-Tropical Mahogany Neck Shape Standard Carve Radius 20" Fingerboard Material Crelicam Ebony Fingerboard Inlay Italian Acrylic Dots Number of Frets 17 Scale Length 25.5" Tuning Machines Classical Bridge Material Crelicam Ebony Nut/Saddle Material Tusq/Micarta Nut Width 1.875" Electronics Taylor ES-B 1.2 Strings D'Addario Pro Arte Carbon Case/Gig Bag Softshell Case RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
