With the addition of the new Academy series, Taylor is looking to get a piece of the action in the beginner guitar class. Though not quite aligned with the rest of the class in terms of price policy (Taylor Academy models, though advertised as beginner guitars, start at $649), Academy models offer enviable build and tone quality, as well as stripped-down looks. 12e-N is the series` only nylon-string model, being accompanied by a pair of steel-stringers. Taylor sells this one only in Natural w/varnish finish, with the MSRP set at $649. Key features include a non-cutaway grand concert body (laminated sapele back/sides, Lutz spruce top), mahogany neck, 17-fret African ebony fingerboard, a fixed classical bridge, ES-N electronics, and a set of classical tuning pegs.
