The Taylor Academy 22e takes a rather sharp turn from the standard Academy formula with an all-walnut body construction, producing a focused tone loaded with both clarity and warmth. A solid walnut top reduces your overtones and doubles down on the fundamental for a powerfully defined midrange. Matching layered walnut sides complement the mid-forward walnut top with a sparkling high-end shimmer — ideal for strumming singer/songwriters looking for a beautiful backdrop for their vocals. Plus, the petite Grand Concert body size is a natural choice for fingerpickers of all styles, allowing each and every note you pluck to remain clear, present, and true.
