Taylor Academy 12E-N Classical Guitar, played by Nick Hosford | Gruhn Guitars in Nashville

[@collinbryson9449]

This is the kind of demo of this guitar i was looking for. Nice to hear it played like a classical guitar

[@DebGodbey]

Amazingly beautiful sound this seriously talented young man can play the guitar. This is the music we shall hear in heaven!!! I want to hear his entire collection every day!!! Thank you, Nicholas!!!

[@marklove6580]

Fantastic. Just bought one today for an upgrade to my beginner classical guitar. Good to hear a tarrega on it. Gracias

[@mt-nv4jd]

Very nice performance. "Lagrima" translates to "teardrops". Tarrega was on a lengthy tour, (since they didn't have recording sales) to provide for his family. Missing his children, he wrote this piece for them.

I love mine. Thumbpicking sounds great on it. Very percussive on the 2 and 4.

[@tonytlly]

Beautiful!

Beautifully played...Sweet rich tone from the Taylor... Something I have always wanted to play is classical guitar but it has gotten too late now.. Enjoyed this immensely

[@tinyswag]

no, it can never be too late!

[@jamesconraadtucker]

Very nice! Exactly why I want to pick up a Taylor nylon. I own some wonderful steel string Martins, Guild, Yamaha, and also a Taylor. I didn't want to break the bank on a nylon but to finish my next album, I want that sound just as you played. Thank you for sharing!

hI! I need to know how Academy 12eN compares with the 212ceN. I can see different woods and preamp. It worth the difference of cost? And what is the difference in sound? I have 1 classical guitar and 1 flamenco spanish handmade guitar, but I need some with preamp..

[@2134yanto]

Can I ask how the action was on this guitar from the factory please? Being a hybrid is it low like a steel string acoustic or high like a classical please? Thanks

[@christophelaplace3446]

Amazing, what song is this?

[@gmoore6166]

Parts of this sounds like Little Martha by Duane Allman, I wonder if this inspired him? Great playing my friend and great piece!

[@jeffreinhart2898]

I believe Black Bird was inspired by this as well

[@lapocasini1246]

True story. Jimi Hendrix taught that to Duane in a dream. I cant remember the details of the dream bur i rec looking up the story. When he woke he got the tune down on the guitar. This is from the Allman Biogrophy Book.

Can you play it again on a Ramirez A1? The Taylor sounds like it’s heavily built with a neck block construction

[@shane6147]

I didn't know Ramirez made an 'A1' .... But if the Taylor doesn't sound as nice as the 'A1' I would guess it's because it's a manufactured beginner level guitar ar 1/10th the price.... Assuming the 'A1' is on par with Ramirez 1A.

[@goodsteel53]

Wonderfully played on a superb sounding instrument! Brand of strings please?

[@NicolasHosford]

Hi Craig, the strings are whatever Taylor strings it with when they ship the guitar. I did lightly file the bass strings with a nail file so that they are smoother sounding and feeling. Cheers.

Taylor sells it with dadarrio carbon nylon proarte

[@garyhelmick8919]

👍👍👍

[@Materva-hv6sz]

sounds better than most cordobas in the same price range

[@andrewmurray1124]

nice and now I wonder how flamenco would sound on this guitar ...

[@Materva-hv6sz]

not great i dont think...classical, jazz, bossa nova country and fingerstyle all yes, but flamenco really needs a proper flamenco guitar to handle the strums. i dont know if youre still interested in flamenco, but the yamaha flamenco is a great place to start

[@manhtien2607]

Low notes sounds not nice.

[@davebayless598]

No appreciation. There will always be at least one!

[@RJ_HTx]

Yes, it sounds like it doesn’t have any bass. Probably changing the nut to bone will bring back the bass and cut on some of the highs.
