Advanced Design. Affordable Price.

Designed to provide signature Taylor playability and vibrant tone at an accessible price, the Academy Series blends innovative features with a comfort-focused design philosophy. New players will appreciate features such as a narrower 1-11/16" nut width for relaxed fretting and a carved armrest for a seamless, accommodating feel. Together with the light-gauge strings and 24-7/8" scale length, those elements add up to a slinky handfeel that makes it easier to grow your skills. Solid tops produce rich projection and clarity, and models with electronics also boast a built-in digital tuner. Whether you're just picking your first guitar or hunting for a more affordable Taylor experience, the Academy Series is for you.

Academy 10

Designed with beginners in mind but appealing to experienced players as well, the Taylor Academy 10 boasts a solid torrefied spruce top and a comfortable, easy-playing neck that will inspire you to play more and improve your skills. The special roasting process for the top adds a touch of aged-in sweetness and warmth, complementing the powerful voice and clear projection of the Dreadnought body shape. Perfect for practice, lessons, jam sessions and performance alike, this all-acoustic, non-cutaway model includes a lightweight gig bag for easy and safe transportation.
