Taylor Academy 22e w/Gig Bag

---

1) Overview

The Taylor Academy 22e is designed with one purpose in mind — to make playing guitar as comfortable, inspiring, and rewarding as possible. Built for beginners yet refined enough for experienced players, this Grand Concert model combines Taylor’s legendary playability with rich, balanced tone and thoughtful ergonomics.

Featuring a solid walnut top paired with layered walnut back and sides, the Academy 22e delivers a warm, focused voice with clear note definition and natural sustain. The tone remains authentic and dynamic when amplified through Taylor’s ES-B electronics system, complete with a built-in digital tuner for easy adjustment on the fly. A walnut armrest bevel and Taylor’s slim, fast-playing neck profile enhance comfort, making this model perfect for extended practice sessions or performance.

With its compact body size, approachable neck, and clear acoustic voice, the Taylor Academy 22e is a perfectly balanced instrument for new players, casual strummers, and anyone seeking premium Taylor tone and feel at an accessible price point.
