Taylor Academy A12e-N LH Left-Handed Nylon Electric Guitar

Includes Gig Bag

The Taylor Academy A12e-N LH brings the comfort and expressive tone of nylon strings to left-handed players in Taylor's own player-friendly design. This Grand Concert nylon-string model uses a solid Lutz spruce top paired with layered walnut back and sides, delivering a warm, mellow tone with a bright, responsive edge.

A shorter scale length and light string tension keep it easy to play, and a built-in armrest adds comfort for extended practice or performance sessions. Taylor's ES-N electronics capture the nylon-string voice with real clarity and subtlety when amplified. It's ideal for fingerstyle, Latin, classical, and pop players after a genuinely comfortable left-handed nylon-string guitar, with a smooth neck profile and classical-style tuners suited to confident, inspiring playing.
