AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
The Taylor Academy 22e is a thoughtfully designed acoustic-electric guitar that delivers pro-level tone and feel at an accessible price. Built with a solid walnut top and layered walnut back and sides, this Grand Concert model offers a focused, articulate voice with clear high-end and rich midrange warmth. It's perfect for fingerstyle players and light strummers alike, with tonal clarity that works beautifully across genres.
Comfort is at the heart of the Academy Series, and the 22e is no exception. A built-in armrest, slim-profile neck, and 24-7/8" scale length create a relaxed playing experience, making long sessions a breeze. The onboard ES-B pickup system includes tone and volume controls plus a built-in tuner, making it stage- and studio-ready right out of the box. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player seeking a compact, comfortable instrument, the Academy 22e is built to inspire.

We endeavour to show the actual instrument in stock whenever possible, but the guitar in stock may differ slightly from the one shown on our website. Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.
If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.
Please note that returns will not be accepted for variations in timber grain / colouring, finish variations and parts colouring, unless there is a fault with the instrument.
