Designed specifically for new players, the Taylor Academy 22e offers a compact version of our affordable, walnut-topped acoustic guitars, delivering both rich sound and an accessible playing experience.
With a solid walnut top and layered walnut back and sides, you’ll hear a warm, focused response with clear definition between notes, a sound that stays clear and authentic when you plug into an amp or PA with the included ES-B pickup. In addition to the always-comfortable Taylor Neck design, this Grand Concert features a built-in armrest for enhanced playability, along with a digital tuner, allowing you to tune up on the fly wherever you go.
With a durable padded gig bag for storage and transportation, the Academy 22e offers the ideal blend of utility, playing comfort, and sonic punch.
