Overview
Solid torrefied spruce top for projection and clarity
Traditional Dreadnought shape with slighty shorter scale
Slender neck and scaled-down body for comfort
Armrest and light strings provide a relaxed feel
Features onboard electronics with digital tuner

Designed with newer guitar players in mind but appealing to experienced players as well, the Academy 10e combines the rich voice of the Dreadnought body shape with a comfortable feel that will encourage beginners to grow their skills. A solid torrefied spruce top serves up plenty of volume and articulation with a splash of played-in sweetness, making this a musically versatile choice for players wanting a guitar with a broad sonic range. In this model, the slender Taylor neck features a slightly narrower nut width of 1-11/16″, helping make chords and notes easier to hold, and the armrest takes some pressure off your strumming arm. The Academy 10e includes an ES-B pickup with a built-in digital tuner and a gig bag.

Dreadnought – Taylor’s Dreadnought captures the potent tone flatpickers and strummers love.
Walnut – Walnut’s crisp highs are balanced by a deep, woody low end that emerges as the guitar is played in.
Sitka Spruce – The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.
ES-B – This pickup/preamp combo includes a built-in digital chromatic tuner.
