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.Perfectly worn-in spruce top It’s an almost universally accepted fact among musicians that acoustic instruments develop a more mellow and responsive tone over time, often taking a lifetime’s worth of breaking in until they reach their full sonic potential. For those of us who would rather skip ahead a few decades of hard-won tonewood aging, Taylor’s cutting-edge torrefaction process perfectly mimics the feel of an aged top right out of the box. How does it work? By roasting this guitar’s spruce top in a specialized oven, Taylor dramatically accelerates the natural “opening up” of the top to capture all the touch-sensitive resonance and lush vibrance of an acoustic guitar that’s been played in for years.Taylor Academy 12 Acoustic Guitar Features: Grand Concert body shape’s slim articulate profile is perfect for fingerstyle Torrefied spruce top provides a rich, resonant, and aged-in response from first strum Layered walnut back and sides sculpt sound with depth and dimension Hard-rock maple neck with ebony fingerboard and a slim profile is easy to play 1.6875-inch nut width creates a softer string feel for easier fretting and less fatigue Nubone nut and micarta saddle enhance vibrational transfer from string to body Closed-back Taylor tuners enhance tuning stability SpecificationDetail String Type Steel Number of Strings 6 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Shape Academy 12 Grand Concert Back & Sides Wood Layered Walnut Top Wood Torrefied Spruce Top Finish Matte Color Natural Body Bracing Academy Series Bracing Neck Wood Hard Rock Maple Neck Shape Standard Carve Radius 15" Fingerboard Material Crelicam Ebony Fingerboard Inlay Italian Acrylic Dots Number of Frets 20 Scale Length 24.875" Nut Width 1.6875" Nut/Saddle Material Tusq/Micarta Bridge Material Crelicam Ebony Tuning Machines Die-cast Chrome Strings D'Addario XS Coated, .012-.053 Case/Gig Bag Softshell Case RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
