The Taylor Jacob Collier Academy 22e 5-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar is a unique and forward-thinking instrument developed in collaboration with Jacob Collier, designed to expand the creative possibilities of the acoustic guitar. Built around Collier’s preferred DAEAD five-string tuning, this model offers rich harmonic depth and an extended sonic range that encourages exploration and expressive playing. A solid walnut top paired with layered walnut back and sides produces a warm, woody midrange with clear highs and a focused low end, perfectly complementing the five-string configuration. The Grand Concert body shape provides balanced tone and comfortable playability, making it ideal for fingerstyle, open tunings, and intricate chord voicings. Designed with comfort in mind, the Academy 22e features a built-in armrest for a relaxed playing feel and a slim, approachable neck profile that suits players of all levels. When amplified, the onboard Fishman Presys VT electronics deliver natural, transparent tone suitable for stage and studio use. Finished in a subtle matte finish with understated detailing, this guitar reflects Taylor’s commitment to innovation, playability, and musical inspiration. This model includes a padded gig bag.
