Taylor Academy Series | The Best Beginner Acoustic Guitar?
Taylor Academy Series
In the midst of our current situation, we're very happy that people are still picking up their guitars-- we like to encourage everyone to take this time to use music as a therapeutic force in their lives. If you're looking to just get started playing guitar, or help someone else start playing, here is a video discussing why we think that the Taylor Academy Series is the best beginner acoustic guitar. With higher-end features like a beveled arm rest, scalloped bracing, a solid-wood top (either Sitka or Lutz Spruce), and Taylor Electronics (on acoustic-electric models), these guitars bring Taylor's unparalleled quality to the entry level, and make the playing experience comfortable and exciting to pursue. Take a listen and hear why Chris McKee recommends these guitars to everyone who wants to start playing!
