Taylor Academy Series 12-N

My guitar arrived with the intonation so badly set up that it was more than a semitone out of tune at the 12th fret. The action, neck bow, and overall playability was brutal. Fixing this is a huge task and is best done by a luthier. I would not recommend this guitar at all. A real disappointment if this is what Taylor guitars has become.

This guitar is fantastic to play. The beveled armrest is very comfortable, the sound is very robust for such a low price. Great instrument for if you are just starting to learn to play, and also very fun to play for more experienced musicians. The finish is matte which makes it look a bit "frugal" but the first chord will tell you this is such a quality instrument. Highly recommended.
