Taylor Academy 10e Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar

This is what Taylor Guitars say about the Academy 10e:

The Taylor Academy 10e electro-acoustic guitar is expertly designed for beginners while offering the tone and feel experienced players will appreciate. Featuring a classic Dreadnought body shape, it delivers a bold, rich sound with impressive projection, paired with a comfortable design that supports skill development and extended play.

A solid torrefied spruce top produces clear articulation, strong volume, and a warm, “played-in” character, making it a versatile choice across a wide range of musical styles. The slim Taylor neck with a slightly narrower 1-11/16" nut width ensures easier fretting, while the built-in armrest enhances comfort by reducing strain on your strumming arm.

Equipped with Taylor’s ES-B pickup system and integrated digital tuner, the Academy 10e is ready for both practice and performance. Complete with a gig bag, this guitar offers exceptional playability, balanced tone, and reliable amplified sound for players at any stage.
