One of the biggest reasons why new guitar players give up is the lack of a quality instrument. High action, bad intonation or cruddy sound will quickly derail the playing experience. That’s why we poured our guitar design expertise into developing our new Academy Series guitars. The goal was to remove all the barriers that get in the way, from feel to sound to cost. The result is a guitar that’s easy on the hands and helps you sound great from your first strum. Our Academy Series guitars will inspire everyone from beginners to seasoned players looking for a great guitar at a great price.

Each detail was thoughtfully considered to give players an easier, more enjoyable guitar experience.

Our sleek, hand-friendly necks feature light-gauge strings and optimized dimensions for a slinky feel.

This ergonomic feature is built into the guitar body to offer a more relaxed and rewarding playing experience.

Besides clear tone and impeccable intonation, these guitars are voiced to respond easily to a player’s touch.

Our guitars are engineered to last a lifetime. Our patented neck and durable body design make these guitars easy to maintain.

An emphasis on design simplicity enabled us to produce a fully engineered Taylor guitar at an entry-level price.

Choose from a Dreadnought for strumming or flatpicking, a Grand Concert for fingerpicking, or a nylon-string Grand Concert.
