{"title":"Taylor Academy 12e-N","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Academy 12e-N is Taylor's classical guitar, not a nylon-strung version of the steel-string Academy 12e. It shares the same Grand Concert body and $799 price as its steel-string sibling, but everything about how it's built and played changes underneath that shared shape: Fan Bracing in place of X-bracing to handle how nylon strings load a top, a wider nut spaced for classical right-hand technique, fewer frets clear of the body since classical playing rarely reaches as far up the neck as steel-string lead work, and classical-style tuners instead of sealed steel-string tuners. A player coming from steel-string guitar should expect a real technique adjustment here, not just a softer touch under the fingers, right-hand position, string spacing, and even how far up the neck a piece asks you to reach are all different on a classical instrument, and the 12e-N is built to support that technique properly rather than approximate it.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/theacousticshoppe.com\/collections\/taylor-academy-12e-n.oembed","provider":"The Acoustic Shoppe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
