Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Taylor’s Jacob Collier Academy 22e takes a five-string, D-A-E-A-D setup into a compact right-handed Grand Concert acoustic-electric. A solid walnut top joins layered walnut back and sides, while the 24.875-inch scale and standard Taylor neck profile shape the playing layout. The Fishman Presys VT Sonitone system brings the guitar into amplified work, with volume and tone controls mounted at the soundhole. A beveled walnut armrest, smoked eucalyptus fingerboard and bridge, die-cast chrome tuners, matte finish and included Taylor soft gig bag round out the Natural model.
