If you're looking for an acoustic that blends stunning visuals with beginner-friendly comfort and tonal richness, the Taylor Academy 12e LTD rises above. This limited-edition Grand Concert model showcases layered AA-grade figured Hawaiian koa back and sides, making it one of the most eye-catching guitars in Taylor’s Academy Series. A solid torrefied spruce top provides a warm, played-in tone from day one, with crisp articulation and an inviting response ideal for fingerstyle, strumming, and light picking.

Designed with playability in mind, the 12e LTD features Taylor’s slender neck profile, 1-11/16" nut width, and a shorter 24-7/8" scale length for a relaxed, slinky feel. A beveled armrest carved from neo-tropical mahogany further enhances playing comfort, especially for longer sessions. The onboard ES-B electronics system includes a built-in digital tuner and delivers authentic Taylor amplified sound whether you're on stage, in the studio, or practicing at home. Complete with a soft gig bag, the Academy 12e LTD is a visually stunning, highly playable acoustic-electric available now at Haggerty’s Music.
