Taylor Academy A12e-N Nylon Electric Guitar

The Taylor Academy A12e-N Nylon Electric Guitar is a thoughtfully designed nylon-string instrument that blends comfort, tone, and value into one highly playable package. Built on Taylor’s compact Grand Concert body shape, the A12e-N features a solid Lutz spruce top paired with layered walnut back and sides for a warm, mellow voice with crisp articulation. The nylon-string setup offers lighter string tension, making it especially inviting for new players or steel-string guitarists exploring classical tones.

Taylor’s ergonomic touches—like the built-in armrest and slim neck profile—enhance comfort and ease of play across long sessions. Equipped with Taylor’s ES-N electronics, the A12e-N delivers authentic amplified tone with smooth tonal control for live or studio performance. Whether you’re fingerpicking, strumming, or exploring Latin and classical styles, this instrument brings nylon-string character to your playing with clarity and confidence.
