Taylor Academy 10e LTD Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Torrefied Spruce/Koa, Natural

Certain to stir up inspiration, Taylor's Academy 10e LTD model is a decadent experience for guitarists at any level. Coming together with a unique assembly of design specs and materials, this Academy Series entry is primed for practice, performance, and everything in between.

Taylor's Academy Series of guitars has always been a great resource for newer players or players seeking something a little more simplified for travel or casual playing. This limited Academy 10e checks many of those same boxes for a thoroughly musical experience. This all begins with a dreadnought body assembled from a torrefied spruce top and layered figured AA-grade Hawaiian koa back and sides. Truly a special addition to the Academy Series, these two quality tonewoods produce an overall rich and lived-in sound usually reserved for higher-end Taylor models. Academy Series bracing and a carved armrest body contour produce balanced projection and added comfort, respectively.

Adding onto the playability of this Academy, a slim hard rock maple neck extends out from the dreadnought body. Another unique feature, a smoked eucalyptus fingerboard, joins with this neck to enable swift playing up and down the full scale length. Italian acrylic dot fret inlays tie these elements together. For performance, this electronically-equipped Academy Series features Taylor's ESB electronics system for seamlessly translating its sweet acoustic voices to the stage or studio. An included Taylor tan soft gig bag travels with this guitar for smooth moves from place to place.

Taylor's eye for detail and care for players at every level are on full display with this Academy 10e LTD. For your first Taylor or your fiftieth, it's a treat.
