Designed for aspiring players, the Taylor Academy 10 Left-Handed dreadnought acoustic guitar makes learning and advancing fun. With its comfortable contours and lightweight build, the Academy 10 is easy for newcomers to hold and strum for hours. It produces a rich, balanced tone right out of the box thanks to its solid Sitka spruce top and layered walnut back and sides. The guitar\'s classic dreadnought shape provides ample projection for singing leads and rhythm chords. With the same ebony fingerboard and bridge as Taylor\'s top models, you\'ll enjoy clear note articulation. An engineered maple neck allows precise calibration for smooth playability. The ideal nut width and scale length enhance the Academy 10\'s comfort and accessibility. It even ships with a padded Taylor gig bag to protect the guitar during transport and storage.

Play Comfortably for Hours With the Contoured Body

The Academy 10\'s comfortable body contours and smartly beveled armrest make playing for long periods a breeze. This beginner acoustic\'s lightweight dreadnought frame won\'t weigh down your strumming arm. The ergonomic armrest supports your picking hand like a little pillow, reducing fatigue. With its tapered edges and thoughtfully sculpted shape that fits your torso, you can finally focus on the music instead of how your guitar feels.

Sitka Spruce and Walnut Provide Rich, Balanced Tone

You\'ll love the Academy 10\'s impressive tone and dynamics right out of the box. Its solid Sitka spruce top produces clear, projecting treble notes and rich bass. The layered walnut back and sides add warmth and depth to the guitar\'s overall voice. Together, these tonewoods yield a balanced and nuanced sound across the tonal spectrum. Whether you\'re strumming chords or flatpicking solos, the Academy 10\'s organic acoustic resonance inspires you to keep playing.

The Dreadnought Build Projects Your Sound

With its wide waist and sweeping shoulders, the Academy 10\'s classic dreadnought outline amplifies your playing. Its generous lower bout provides booming bass, while the broad top disperses vibrant highs through the room. Dreadnoughts are prized for their versatility across various genres and techniques. Flatpickers will appreciate the Academy 10\'s crisp note articulation, while fingerstyle players can expect a dynamic range. With enhanced projection, your audience will never struggle to hear your performance.

Play Confidently on the Ebony Fingerboard

The Academy 10 may be designed for beginners, but it shares pro-level appointments with Taylor\'s top models. The fingerboard and bridge are crafted from genuine ebony, not synthetic substitutes, offering you smooth playability and bright tone. Ebony\'s dense grain lends itself to clean fretting hand movements up and down the neck. Your fingers will glide gracefully along the Academy 10\'s ebony fingerboard as you chord, solo and explore the nuances of your technique.
