{"product_id":"taylor-academy-12-acoustic-guitar-natural","title":"Taylor Academy 12 Acoustic Guitar - Natural","description":"\u003cp\u003eDesigned with new players in mind, the \u003cstrong\u003eTaylor Academy 12\u003c\/strong\u003e's compact Grand Concert body, solid torrefied spruce top, and easy-playing Taylor Neck offer a comfortable, accessible experience to guitarists of all ability levels. The solid torrefied spruce top generates projection, clarity, and volume with a splash of played-in sweetness and depth thanks to Taylor's special roasting process. This all-acoustic, non-cutaway model features a built-in armrest that takes the edge off your strumming arm for greater playing comfort, making it a perfect option for learners seeking a guitar that will grow with them. It ships with a lightweight gig bag for transportation between lessons, practice sessions, and anywhere else your music takes you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you’re a student or set for the stage, Taylor’s Academy series is a superb choice for any guitarist seeking a slimmed-down, stripped-back 6-string with signature Taylor tone. Refreshed with a remarkably responsive torrefied spruce top and crisp-sounding walnut back and sides, this Grand Concert-sized instrument delivers lush sonic depth and perfect string-to-string balance. The neck’s premium specs more than match this guitar’s top-notch body construction, with a stout shaft of maple supporting a gorgeous ebony fingerboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComfortable from your first chord\u003c\/strong\u003e Taylor really has gone the extra mile in crafting Academy Series acoustic guitars. Not only do they boast the company's legendary quality, but they are jam-packed with revolutionary touches that make them supremely playable for beginners and seasoned players alike. The most obvious addition is the built-in armrest for softening the contact point between the guitar's body and the player's arm. The guitar's neck is a bit shorter, softening the action of the strings. And light-gauge strings are used to further create an instant bond between fingertips and the guitar's sleek ebony fretboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfectly worn-in spruce top\u003c\/strong\u003e It’s an almost universally accepted fact among musicians that acoustic instruments develop a more mellow and responsive tone over time, often taking a lifetime’s worth of breaking in until they reach their full sonic potential. For those of us who would rather skip ahead a few decades of hard-won tonewood aging, Taylor’s cutting-edge torrefaction process perfectly mimics the feel of an aged top right out of the box. How does it work? By roasting this guitar’s spruce top in a specialized oven, Taylor dramatically accelerates the natural “opening up” of the top to capture all the touch-sensitive resonance and lush vibrance of an acoustic guitar that’s been played in for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaylor Academy 12 Acoustic Guitar Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrand Concert body shape’s slim, articulate profile is perfect for fingerstyle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorrefied spruce top provides a rich, resonant, and aged-in response from the first strum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLayered walnut back and sides sculpt sound with depth and dimension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard-rock maple neck with ebony fingerboard and a slim profile is easy to play\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.6875-inch nut width creates a softer string feel for easier fretting and less fatigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNubone nut and micarta saddle enhance vibrational transfer from string to body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed-back Taylor tuners enhance tuning stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTech Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"table__row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"table__header\"\u003eString Type: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell\"\u003eSteel\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"table__row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"table__header\"\u003eNumber of Strings: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell\"\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"table__row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"table__header\"\u003eLeft-\/Right-handed: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell\"\u003eRight-handed\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"table__row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"table__header\"\u003eBody Shape: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell\"\u003eAcademy 12 Grand Concert\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"table__row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"table__header\"\u003eBack \u0026amp;
