Taylor Academy 12e Figured AA-Koa Ltd - natural

The TAYLOR Limited Edition Academy 12th Figured AA-Koa is a limited-edition electro-acoustic steel-string acoustic guitar, Grand Concert style, made in Mexico, with an unbeatable price/performance ratio and impeccable craftsmanship. With its solid torrefied Spruce top, laminated Hawaiian Koa body, Maple neck and Eucalyptus fingerboard, it produces dynamic tones remarkably balanced between warmth and clarity. The body is contoured so as not to injure the right arm resting on it - a characteristic of top-of-the-range guitars!

The Academy 10th Figured AA-Koa can be simply and effectively amplified using the Expression System Baby ES-B with on-board chromatic tuner (a simplified version of the ES2). Koa is a tropical hardwood endemic to the island of Hawaii. It's a dense wood that combines the rich midrange of mahogany with the brilliance of maple. Instruments made from Koa will inevitably improve with years of use, gaining in warmth, softness and openness, while the high density and hardness ofEucalyptus exacerbates the clarity of every note. What's more, it's extremely pleasant to the touch and has a most seductive appearance. If Taylor has chosen this species as an alternative to Ebony, we can have confidence. Sold in Taylor gig bag.
