Combine that with the deep low end and strong mid-range of its dreadnought shape, and you can delve into any musical genre or style of your choosing.

An attractive and sonically versatile tonewood, walnut offers a balanced response that will let you dip into any genre of your choosing. Featuring a solid walnut top and layered back & sides, the Academy 20e generates a room-filling sound while still feeling light and nimble to wield.
This excellent walnut build is shaped into a slimmed down dreadnought style, so the warm, punchy mid tones are still delivered with ample volume and power. These are backed up by an extended low end to complete the 20e's rich sonic character. And as the walnut provides natural compression to the guitar's attack, you'll find strumming and chording to be particularly effective on the 20e.
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 20e is a playing delight for both beginner and experienced guitarists.
Adaptable to any situation, the Academy 20e is equipped with Taylor's ES-B electronics to get your acoustic sound amplified. 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 20e even when it's plugged in.
