Product Description

Your Perfect Strumming Partner

This pre-owned Taylor Academy 10e is a gem, offering incredible playability and rich, seasoned tone at a fantastic value. Built with the developing player in mind but with specs that impress even seasoned veterans, it features a torrefied spruce top that delivers the warm, responsive character of a vintage guitar right from the start. The dreadnought body shape provides that classic, room-filling volume with a robust low end and clear, punchy mids, perfect for everything from campfire singalongs to open mic nights.

Comfort is King

The real magic of the Academy series is in the feel. Taylor designed this guitar to be as inviting as possible, incorporating a sleek, beveled walnut armrest that softens the edge of the body for hours of comfortable playing. Paired with a slightly shorter 24-7/8″ scale length and a slim mahogany neck, the string tension is lower, making it easier to fret chords and bend notes without fatigue. It’s a design that encourages you to play longer and push your boundaries.

Stage-Ready Electronics

When you’re ready to plug in, the onboard Taylor ES-B electronics faithfully translate the guitar’s natural acoustic voice. The system includes straightforward volume and tone controls to shape your sound, plus a super-handy built-in digital chromatic tuner so you’re never out of tune. It’s a simple, reliable setup that gives you everything you need for practice, performance, or recording.

Anatomy of a Tone Machine

Anatomy of a Tone Machine

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

Tone

  • Acoustically, the torrefied spruce and dreadnought body create a powerful, open voice with warm lows and articulate highs.
  • Plugged in, the ES-B system provides a clear and natural representation of the guitar's acoustic character.
  • Responds beautifully to a light touch for fingerstyle but has plenty of headroom for aggressive strumming.

Playing Feel

  • The dreadnought shape is balanced, and the beveled armrest makes it feel exceptionally comfortable against the body.
  • The slim maple neck and shorter scale length result in a buttery, low-tension feel that's easy on the hands.
  • An inspiring instrument that feels broken-in from the first chord, encouraging long practice sessions.

Versatility

  • Excels at both strumming and flatpicking, but the comfortable neck also makes it a capable fingerstyle guitar.
  • The ES-B electronics are straightforward and deliver a solid plugged-in tone for live performance or recording.
  • Its classic dreadnought voice sits perfectly in a mix, providing a strong rhythmic and melodic foundation.

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.

The beveled armrest is a feature usually found on much more expensive guitars. It smooths the top edge of the guitar body where your strumming arm rests, removing that hard angle and pressure point. This makes for a dramatically more comfortable playing experience, especially during longer sessions.
Absolutely, it’s one of the best. Taylor specifically designed the Academy series for playability. The combination of the slim neck profile, shorter scale length, and light string tension makes it physically easier to play than most acoustics, which helps new players build skills and confidence without a struggle.
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.
