Taylor Jacob Collier Academy 22e 5-String

Great for new and experienced players alike, our Academy Series guitars serve up rich acoustic tone and an accessible, comfort-enhanced playing experience. Featuring a solid walnut top paired with layered walnut back and sides in a Grand Concert body, the Jacob Collier Academy 22e 5-String produces crisp highs, a warm midrange and satisfying low-end depth. A built-in walnut armrest softens that contact point on the strumming arm, reducing pressure and allowing for more fluid motion. Incorporating visual details selected for the original Jacob Collier model, this guitar features a highly variegated ebony fretboard and colorful ebony peghead veneer.

Like his personal guitar, the 5-string is tuned to D-A-E-A-D. The tuning can make common chord shapes easier for beginners to form with their fingers. For experienced players, it unlocks a new tonal landscape ripe for musical exploration.
