The Taylor Academy 12-N brings nylon-string tone into a modern, comfortable Taylor design. Its compact Grand Concert body and solid Lutz spruce top deliver clear projection, warmth and articulation, while layered sapele back and sides provide durability and consistency. A built-in armrest, slim Taylor neck and narrower-than-traditional classical nut width make it particularly approachable for steel-string players, beginners and fingerstyle musicians who want the feel and character of nylon strings without the bulk of a traditional classical guitar.
