Its solid torrefied spruce top and layered walnut back and sides produce a balanced and articulate tone, while the genuine ebony fingerboard and bridge provide crisp note definition. Although an armrest is normally reserved for top-end models, the Academy 12-N includes a simplified version to increase playing comfort. Let the Academy 12-N accompany you on your nylon-string journey. Play Comfortably With the Contoured Body and Slim Neck The Academy 12-N is thoughtfully designed for comfort, from its compact Grand Concert body size to its slim neck profile. The contoured back and forearm bevel provide an inviting feel when seated, while the hand-friendly 1-7/8" nut width and manageable 25-1/5" scale length allow for easy fretting. The satin neck finish promotes smooth sliding up and down the genuine ebony fingerboard. A beveled armrest—a feature usually reserved for top-tier models—adds an extra level of support. Together, these ergonomic details make practice sessions a pleasure. Achieve Crisp, Balanced Tone With Premium Tonewoods Despite its beginner-friendly price, the Academy 12-N doesn't cut corners when it comes to tonewoods. Its solid torrefied spruce top produces excellent projection and volume with a balanced tone across the frequency range. The layered walnut back and sides add warmth and complexity to the mix. For articulate note definition, genuine ebony is used for the fingerboard and bridge. Together, these premium tonewoods reward the player with a quality acoustic voice that inspires continued practice. Rewarding Sound That's Easy to Produce The Academy 12-N makes it easy for novice players to get great nylon-string tone. Its torrefied solid spruce top and layered walnut back/sides produce rich acoustic resonance. The bracing and architecture are optimized for ample volume and projection. The 1-7/8" nut width and 25-1/5" scale length facilitate forming clean-sounding chords. Even light strumming rewards you with warm, vibrant tone. The mellow sound of nylon is easier on your fingertips than steel-string acoustics. Unlock inspiring nylon-string acoustic tones with ease on the Academy 12-N.
