Dreadnought acoustic guitar with solid top, armrest and ES-B pickup system
The Taylor Academy 10e has a solid top made of Sitka spruce for a lively sound and a comfortable armrest in the upper frame, which was previously reserved exclusively for the Taylor 900 and Presentation series guitars. With the Taylor ES-B pickup system, the Academy 10e is also well equipped for use on stage and in recording studios.
A Comfortable Dreadnought with First-Class Sound:
The Dreadnought body of the Taylor Academy 10e acoustic guitar features a solid top made of Sitka spruce combined with laminated Sapele back and sides for a powerful and vibrant sound, an excellent bass foundation, warm midrange and silky highs. The armrest in the upper frame makes the steel-string guitar comfortable to play despite its size, while the shorter 24.875" scale (632mm) and comfortable profile makes every chord easy to grasp on the neck.
Taylor ES-B Pickup System:
The Taylor Academy 10e is also equipped with the Taylor ES-B pickup system, making the guitar ideal for use on stage or in recording studios. The pickup, which is based on the Expression System 2, has a particularly natural and warm reproduction of the guitar tone, so that nothing stands in the way of expressive guitar playing. The preamp of the ES-B System provides volume and tone controls to adjust the sound, while the acoustic guitar is tuned correctly in no time at all thanks to the integrated tuner.
