An attractive and sonically versatile tonewood, walnut offers a balanced response that will let you dip into any musical genre of your choosing. Featuring a solid walnut top and layered back & sides, the Academy 22e generates a balanced sound in addition to feeling light and nimble to wield.
This excellent walnut material is shaped into a slim Grand Concert style, so its bright and glistening tones are delivered with ample projection and definition. Indeed, this articulation makes it superb at standing above a mix for those flatpicked lead runs or emphasised melodies.
In addition to being easier on the wallet, the Taylor Academy series are more approachable to play! Offering a slightly shorter scale length for easier chording, a smooth, bevelled armrest for superior playing comfort, and a slim neck carve for a seamless fretting experience, the 22e is a playing delight for both beginner and experienced guitarists.

Offering tone-shaping EQ controls and a built-in chromatic tuner, it'll ensure you're ready to perform or record to your best. And even better, the ES-B provides an accurate reproduction of your natural acoustic sound, so your audience can appreciate the full character of the 22e even when it's plugged in.
