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.
