Taylor Guitars Academy Series Dreadnought Acoustic/Electric Guitar ACADEMY-10E

Taylor Academy 10e – Your First Great Guitar

The Taylor Academy 10e is the perfect starting point for any guitarist who refuses to settle. Designed specifically with beginners and developing players in mind, this dreadnought acoustic-electric doesn't cut corners where it counts — delivering genuine Taylor craftsmanship at an approachable price point.

Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and layered sapele back and sides, the Academy 10e produces a warm, full-bodied tone with just the right amount of brightness to keep every strum feeling alive and energetic. Taylor's Academy Series bracing pattern opens up the sound even further, giving this guitar a surprisingly big voice for its class.

The ES-B pickup system means you're always ready to plug in — whether it's a small open mic night, a rehearsal, or your first real gig. The ergonomic neck shape and smooth fretboard make learning chords and transitions easier on your hands, helping you build skills faster and stay motivated longer.

Finished with a clean, classic look and Taylor's signature attention to detail, the Academy 10e doesn't just look the part — it plays it too.

The guitar that starts your story — and keeps you playing.
