Comfortable design for developing and experienced players

The Grand Concert body keeps the guitar easy and comfortable to hold, while the integrated beveled armrest helps reduce fatigue during longer playing sessions. A mahogany neck with Taylor's standard nylon profile and a smooth West African Crelicam ebony fretboard contribute to an inviting feel that supports relaxed technique and expressive playing.

Nylon-string warmth with practical amplified versatility

Nylon strings give this model a warm, rounded voice that works especially well for classical, Latin, fingerstyle, and softer accompaniment styles. Taylor's ES-N electronics system adds dependable amplified tone, with onboard volume and tone controls plus a built-in digital chromatic tuner for everyday convenience.

Left-handed performance with strong everyday value

Purpose-built for left-handed players, this model brings together Taylor craftsmanship, ergonomic Academy Series features, and useful stage-ready functionality in one accessible package. The included lightweight Taylor gig bag makes transport easy, while the solid-top construction helps provide the tonal depth and projection players want from a quality nylon-string Acoustic Electric.
