Taylor Academy 10 (2022)

Taylor / 2022 Academy 10

—Innovation Designed for Every Acoustic Player

“I want to start playing acoustic guitar, or pick it up again after a long break, but my fingers hurt, making it hard to practice for long periods.”
“The large body typical of Dreadnought models hits my right arm when I hold it, causing pain and making me reluctant to play.” Have you given up on fully enjoying the guitar because of
this kind of “physical stress”?

Many reasons for giving up on the acoustic guitar stem not from a “lack of musical talent” but from the “instrument’s lack of playability.” If it takes too much force to
press the strings down or if it’s uncomfortable to hold, no matter how passionate you are, the time you spend playing will gradually decrease.
Wouldn’t it be ideal to have an acoustic guitar that’s easier and more comfortable to play—one that lets you enjoy the music itself?

The Academy series
is an innovative model from “Taylor,” one of the world’s top guitar brands, that has seriously tackled this long-standing challenge. Developed under the clear concept of “ensuring players don’t give up on the guitar halfway through,
” it was created through a relentless pursuit of playability.

This Taylor Academy 10 boasts playability and sound that far exceed the boundaries of a mere student model.

—Groundbreaking “Armrest” Design

It features an “armrest”—a slanted cut at the lower right corner of the body,
typically found only on high-end models—
at this price point. It dramatically reduces strain on the right arm, making it incredibly comfortable even during long playing sessions.

—Remarkable Playability

It features a
slightly shorter scale length and Taylor’s unique, slim, easy-to-grip neck profile. The
string tension is designed to be gentle, making it easy even for beginners and women to play barre chords.

—Uncompromising Taylor Sound It delivers the rich, dynamic acoustic resonance unique to the Dreadnought shape
. The solid Sitka spruce top produces the clear, high-quality tone with well-defined contours that is characteristic of Taylor.

Taylor’s proprietary neck construction, which is highly resistant to climate changes, ensures exceptional long-term maintainability.
For those who want “an affordable guitar with absolutely no compromise on quality,” this is a ready-to-play instrument we can confidently recommend.

Why not free yourself from the frustration of a “hard-to-play” guitar and get your hands on the perfect companion that you’ll want to play forever?
