Beloved not only by players learning their craft but also by experienced, gigging guitarists, the Academy Series features physically comfortable, rich-voiced guitars with comfort-focused design elements at a price everyone can appreciate. A carved armrest, narrower nut width, shorter scale length and light-gauge strings add up to an ultra-comfortable playing experience with a slinky handfeel that reduces the effort needed to form chords and bend strings. Together, layered walnut back and sides paired with a specially roasted spruce top yield a bold, articulate voice with a mature, played-in sound. Three Grand Concerts, including the Academy 12e, walnut-top Academy 22e and nylon-string Academy 12-N (Lutz spruce top), present inspiring choices for players who prefer the intimate feel of a small-bodied guitar. Fans of the traditional Dreadnought body style will enjoy the physical proportions and powerful voice of the Academy 10e.
