The Academy line offers affordable Taylor acoustic guitars made in our Tecate, Mexico factory. The philosophy behind the production of these guitars is simple - leave out everything that doesn't directly affect the sound. The instruments are made very sparingly, without extra decorative elements that increase the price. The quality associated with the Taylor brand is now something everyone can afford.
The Academy 20e electroacoustic guitar offers the popular dreadnought body shape. The front of the instrument is made of solid walnut, while the sides and back are made of laminated walnut. The maple neck is glued to an ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty frets, the positions are classically marked by imitation mother-of-pearl dots. The ergonomic armrest also contributes to the players' comfort.
The strings are anchored in chrome-plated company tuning machines and an ebony fingerboard via a micarta saddle and a NuBone fretboard. The austere design is enhanced by traditional elements in the form of birch veneer rosette and company logo on the headstock.
The guitar's sound is provided by an ES-B active preamp installed in the back of the instrument, which is based on the ES-2 system developed by Taylor, a unique way of sensing sound using three piezo pickups placed behind the neck. The preamp features a three-band EQ, built-in chromatic tuner and a clear LED display.
The guitar comes in a gig bag.
