Players can count on the Taylor Academy Series to deliver an authentic acoustic playing experience in a package that's friendly to both a beginner's hands and your budget. The Academy 20e is a dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar featuring a solid walnut top paired with layered walnut back and sides, adding up to a warm, punchy tone that performs beautifully across playing styles and genres.
