Taylor Limited Edition Academy 12E-N Koa, Nylon Acoustic-Electric Guitar

This limited-edition nylon-string guitar is ideal for musicians who want an easy-playing, great-looking, price-accessible instrument that will enrich their sound with inspiring neo-classical textures. The Academy 12e-N LTD serves up warm, snappy nylon-string flavors, head-turning visuals and a remarkably comfortable playing experience that encourages guitarists to develop their skills over extended playing sessions. Its layered AA-grade figured Hawaiian koa back and sides—boasting dramatically figured grain patterns—are paired with a solid torrefied spruce top in a Grand Concert body, yielding a mellow voice with a played-in personality, thanks to our special roasting recipe for the soundboard. A 25-1/2” scale length and 1-7/8” nut width provide ample space for fingerstyle techniques, while a slim Taylor neck and carved armrest ensure an ultra-smooth playing experience. Outfitted with an ES-B Nylon pickup system featuring a built-in digital tuner, the Academy 12e-N LTD ships in a soft gig bag for easy transport.
