Your New Songwriting Partner
Meet the Taylor Academy 22e—an acoustic that feels less like a tool and more like an extension of your hands. Built with the developing player in mind, it delivers a playing experience that’s pure comfort and a tone that’s pure inspiration. The Grand Concert body is compact and inviting, making it the perfect companion for the couch, the studio, or intimate gigs. And with a solid walnut top, you get a voice that’s warm, focused, and articulate—it has a woody midrange bloom that truly sings.
Comfort is King
Taylor’s reputation for playability is legendary, and the Academy 22e is a prime example. The slightly shorter 24-7/8″ scale length means less string tension, making bends and complex chords feel almost effortless. But the real game-changer is the built-in armrest—a feature usually reserved for high-end models. It smooths the edge of the guitar’s lower bout, preventing fatigue and letting you play for hours on end without a second thought. It’s a small touch that makes a massive difference.
Stage-Ready Electronics
The Academy 22e comes equipped with Taylor’s ES-B electronics, so you’re ready to plug in and play anywhere. This system faithfully translates the guitar’s natural acoustic warmth, providing a clear and authentic tone through any PA or amplifier. Even better, it includes a built-in digital chromatic tuner right at your fingertips, ensuring you’re always in tune, whether you’re on stage or just hashing out ideas at home.
