Taylor Academy 10 Dreadnought Acoustic Electric Guitar - Natural

Designed with beginners in mind but appealing to experienced players as well, the Academy A10 from Taylor boasts a solid spruce top and a comfortable, easy-playing neck that will inspire you to play more and improve your skills. This Dreadnought, made with layered sapele back and sides, serves up a powerful voice with clear projection, perfect not just for learning but for jam sessions, practice and playing for an audience. This all-acoustic, non-cutaway model includes a soft, lightweight gig bag for easy and safe transportation.

A quality guitar you can afford

Taylor's Academy 10 boasts many of the same player-friendly features that have made the brand legendary. These features include an extremely comfortable and fast-playing neck profile, bracing patterns that enhance the guitar's natural voice, and solid Sitka spruce and ebony tonewoods used in the construction.

Comfortable from your first chord

Taylor really has gone the extra mile in crafting Academy Series acoustic guitars. Not only do they boast the company's legendary quality, but they are jam-packed with revolutionary touches that make them supremely playable for beginners and seasoned players alike. The most obvious addition is the built-in armrest for softening the contact point between the guitar's body and the player's arm. The guitar's neck is a bit shorter, softening the action of the strings. And light-gauge strings are used to further create an instant bond between fingertips and the guitar's sleek ebony fretboard.
