Key Features
- Grand Concert – A smaller-bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle.
- Hawaiian Koa – Few woods carry the allure of Hawaiian koa, with its gorgeous figure and sweet, complex tone.
- Torrefied Spruce – Treated with our special roasting process, torrefied spruce tops deliver all the clarity, balance and projection you’d expect from a traditional spruce top with an extra dash of warmth and played-in depth.
- ES-B – This pickup/preamp combo includes a built-in digital chromatic tuner.
Tonewoods
Its layered AA-grade figured Hawaiian koa back and sides—boasting dramatically figured grain patterns—are paired with a solid torrefied spruce top in a Grand Concert body, yielding a mellow voice with a played-in personality, thanks to our special roasting recipe for the soundboard.
Slim Taylor Neck
A 25-1/2” scale length and 1-7/8” nut width provide ample space for fingerstyle techniques, while a slim Taylor neck and carved armrest ensure an ultra-smooth playing experience. Outfitted with an ES-B Nylon pickup system featuring a built-in digital tuner, the Academy 12e-N LTD ships in a soft gig bag for easy transport.
