Designed to offer a comfortable, affordable option for players seeking the nylon-string sound with player-friendly appointments, the Academy 12e-N serves up snappy classical tone with a feel that's perfect for new learners and experienced players alike. Built with a solid spruce top for optimal projection, clarity and resonance, this compact Grand Concert acoustic-electric features radiused fretboard and a 1-7/8" nut width that provides ample string spacing for fingerstyle play without putting undue strain on your fretting hand. And with built-in ES-N electronics and a lightweight gig bag for protection, the Academy 12e-N has everything a budding player could need.
