Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The right-handed Academy 12e puts a torrefied Sitka spruce top and layered walnut back and sides into a Grand Concert acoustic-electric format. A 24.875-inch scale, satin maple neck, and armrest-oriented body design focus on comfort during extended playing. Taylor ES-B electronics with a behind-the-saddle transducer bring the guitar into an amplified setup, with onboard control over level and tone. It has 20 frets and arrives with a gig bag for carrying and storage.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Practice sessions where the shorter scale and armrest-focused design support extended playing.
- Using one acoustic guitar at home, with friends, or through an amp or PA.
- Taking a right-handed Grand Concert guitar to lessons or rehearsals in its included gig bag.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players, as this is a right-handed model.
