Built with new players in mind, the Academy 12 incorporates a sleek body shape with our trademark neck design and an ergonomic armrest for a truly player-friendly experience.
Why We Love This
A slightly shorter, 24 7/8-inch scale length contributes to the smooth feel of the Academy 12, making it easier to fret strings, hold chords, and bend notes as you learn to navigate the neck of an acoustic guitar.
But the Academy 12 serves up more than just a comfortable feel, yielding a balanced, robust sound that mingles the sparkle of solid spruce with the punchy, responsive midrange of layered sapele. With that versatile sound and a forgiving, unintrusive design, the Academy 12 gives you the power to pursue your musical inspiration, whether it's your first guitar or a new addition for your collection.
