Product Description

An Unbeatable Player’s Guitar

Right out of the gig bag, this pre-owned Taylor Academy 10e proves why it’s a favorite among both new and seasoned guitarists. Taylor designed the Academy series to deliver an incredibly comfortable, rewarding playing experience without a hefty price tag, and this one is a stellar example. It’s in excellent condition and ready for a new home, offering that signature Taylor clarity and feel for a fantastic value.

Torrefied Top, Seasoned Tone

The secret to the 10e’s rich, responsive voice is its torrefied Sitka spruce top. This special roasting process ages the wood, giving it the warm, open, and dynamic character of a well-loved vintage guitar. Paired with layered walnut back and sides, the result is a classic dreadnought sound, full of robust lows, punchy mids, and articulate highs that are perfect for everything from heavy strumming to delicate flatpicking.

Designed for Comfort

Taylor loaded this guitar with player-centric features. The most noticeable is the beveled walnut armrest, a feature typically found on high-end instruments that makes hours of playing feel effortless. Combined with a slightly shorter 24-7/8″ scale length and a slim maple neck, fretting chords and navigating the ebony fretboard is a buttery-smooth experience with less hand fatigue.

Stage-Ready Electronics

When you’re ready to plug in, the onboard Taylor ES-B electronics have you covered. This system faithfully translates the guitar’s natural acoustic tone and features a built-in digital chromatic tuner, so you’re always ready for the stage, studio, or open mic night. It’s a simple, reliable system that makes this guitar a true workhorse.

Anatomy of a Tone Machine

Anatomy of a Tone Machine

Perfect for: Singer-Songwriter • Strumming • Folk • Pop

Tone

  • Punchy and clear, with the warmth of a dreadnought and Taylor's signature top-end sparkle.
  • The torrefied spruce top adds vintage-style responsiveness and dynamic range.
  • Great for vocal accompaniment, it sits perfectly in a mix without being boomy.
  • Responds well to both a light touch and heavy strumming, offering plenty of headroom.

Playing Feel

  • The dreadnought body is full-sized, but the beveled armrest makes it incredibly comfortable to hold.
  • Slightly shorter 24-7/8" scale length and 1-11/16" nut width make fretting chords feel effortless.
  • Taylor's Standard Carve neck is a happy medium that fits most hands comfortably.
  • Designed for hours of play without fatigue, perfect for practice or long gigs.

Versatility

  • Excels at open chords and strumming, but has enough note definition for flatpicking lines.
  • The ES-B electronics make it a reliable plug-and-play option for open mics or services.
  • Records beautifully, capturing a classic acoustic sound with minimal fuss.
  • Its balanced tone is a great canvas for effects like reverb and delay.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

It’s all in the design. The built-in armrest prevents your arm from digging into the body, the shorter 24-7/8″ scale length reduces string tension for easier fretting, and the slim neck profile is comfortable for a wide range of hand sizes. It’s built to feel good from the first chord.
Torrefaction is a wood roasting process that mimics the natural aging of tonewoods. It gives the spruce top a more played-in, responsive, and dynamic character right from the start. You get the warmth and complexity of a vintage guitar in a modern, reliable instrument.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
Orders ship same day in most cases and arrive within 1-4 business days with free, insured shipping. We’ll get it into your hands as quickly as we can.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
