WIN! A Taylor Academy 12E

Get your hands on the most exciting acoustic of 2017 so far!

Taylor’s new Academy Series is a bit of a game changer in setting a very high standard for its entry-level guitars. Aimed at making playing more enjoyable and comfortable for beginners, Taylor do it so well that the rest of us want in on it too. The company’s master luthier and all-round acoustic guru has given the 10 dreadnought and 12 grand concert models a lot of thought – and it shows. A minimal, clean design with a shorter scale, and an arm-rest bevel previously seen on Taylor’s high-end custom models makes these guitars comfortable and accessible – especially with the friendly low action, Taylor’s digit-delighting NT neck and the responsive and resonant build. The icing on the cake for our prize 12E model is that it’s gig ready, with one of the most organic-sounding pickup/preamp packages you’ll hear in the ES-B Expression System. And unlike the ES systems on many other Taylors, there’s an in-built tuner to give you everything you need.

We’ve teamed up with our pals at Taylor to give an Academy 12E to one lucky TG reader. To be in with a shot of winning, all you have to do is answer the following question correctly. Who is Taylor’s master luthier? a) Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor b) Andy Powers c) Graham Taylor Enter at bit.ly/TGTaylor Competition closes on 06 July 2017
