The Taylor Academy 12e nylon acoustic-electric guitar brings together the warm, mellow tone of nylon strings and a built-in pickup system for amplified performance. Crafted for players of all levels, from beginners to pros, the Academy 12e N is lightweight, comfortable and designed to inspire. A solid Lutz spruce top paired with layered sapele back and sides produces a full, resonant sound. The slim neck and low action make fretting and strumming easy.

Revolutionary Pickup System Offers a Spectrum of Tones

The Academy 12e-N includes Taylor's ES-B pickup system with an onboard preamp and 3-band EQ, allowing you to shape your tone for any musical situation. Roll the EQ knob to add punch for cutting through a mix or turn it down for a neutral amplified tone. The body sensor toggle lets you blend the sound of the undersaddle pickup with the natural resonance of the top, back and sides. Power it with a 9V battery for a portable setup with no cables required.

Durable Neck Appeals to Steel-String Players

Taylor's Neo-Tropical mahogany neck has a nut width of 1.875" and radius of 20", slightly narrower and flatter than most nylon-string guitars. The familiar feel will appeal to steel-string players making the transition. The slim, low-profile neck also suits players with smaller hands or less finger strength. Dot inlays provide clear fretboard orientation without distracting from the guitar's simple, elegant aesthetic.

Sustainable Gig Bag Included

A soft gig bag with padded handles and straps comes with the Academy 12e-N for safe transport. Multiple storage pockets organize accessories while keeping them close at hand.

Features:

Solid Lutz spruce top and layered sapele back and sides
Neo-Tropical mahogany neck in a standard Taylor profile
Genuine African ebony fingerboard and bridge
Taylor ES-B electronics
