The Academy Series was designed to be the ideal learning guitar for beginners and developing players. One of the benefits of a nylon-string guitar is that the light string tension is easy on the fingertips. Another inviting feature is a built-in armrest to enhance the playing comfort. Tonally, the wood pairing of layered Sapele back and sides with a solid Lutz spruce top, together with the body’s internal bracing, project a warm, mellow nylon voice with crisp percussive appeal that suits a variety of musical styles and responds well to both fingerpicking and flatpicking.
- Solid Lutz Spruce top ensures strong projection even with the A12's compact size
- Layered Sapele back and sides make the guitar stable and resilient in the face of travel and climate change
- Bevelled armrest and short-scale/narrow nut-width neck provide better ergonomics for improved comfort and playability
