A Limited Edition That Elevates the Academy Series
The Academy series is known for delivering Taylor's signature playing comfort and immediate tone to progressing guitarists as well as seasoned musicians. This limited "Figured Koa/Spruce" edition enhances the Academy platform with sumptuous AA koa veneer and a torrefied spruce top, while maintaining the accessible spirit and full voice of a Taylor.
For Which Musician and Styles?
Ideal for ambitious beginners as well as intermediate and advanced players seeking a reliable and inspiring acoustic. The dreadnought body excels in strumming and flatpicking (folk, pop, rock, country), while the 1-11/16" / 42.86 mm nut width and Taylor's slim neck facilitate open chords, sustained rhythms, and effortless transitions without fatigue.
The Sound
The solid torrefied spruce top offers a quick response, singing midrange, and generous projection, with a tonal warmth usually achieved through aging. The dreadnought shape provides depth and dynamic reserve for strummers, while the Academy-specific bracing promotes balance and clarity. The AA laminated koa back and sides add controlled brightness and fine definition, while ensuring stability and consistency. The ES-B system faithfully captures this natural voice on stage and in recording.
