Full Description
View Full DescriptionComfortable and compact design
The Grand Concert body of the Taylor Academy 22e is perfect for players who prefer a smaller, more comfortable guitar. Its compact dimensions make it easy to handle and sit with, offering an intimate feel and focused sound. The armrest on the lower bout adds to the playing comfort, especially during extended sessions, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced players alike.
Rich, warm tone from solid walnut
The solid walnut top delivers a distinctive warm and balanced sound, with crisp trebles and a woody low end that will mature over time. The walnut construction generates a natural compression, resulting in a smooth and balanced attack, making this guitar a great choice for those who prefer a focused, articulate tone. The layered walnut back and sides provide durability and consistency, making the 22e a reliable instrument for various playing environments.
Easy playability for all skill levels
Featuring a shorter 24-7/8-inch scale length, the Academy 22e offers a slinkier feel with lower string tension, making fretting easier and more comfortable. The slim neck profile further enhances playability, allowing for smooth transitions between chords and making the guitar approachable for players of all skill levels, especially those with smaller hands or new learners.
Ready for amplification
Equipped with Taylor’s ES-B electronics, the 22e is ready for live performance or recording. The system includes a built-in digital tuner and tone-shaping EQ controls for easy, natural amplification. The preamp is powered by a 9V battery, providing over 500 hours of battery life for preamp use and 50 hours with the tuner.
