Carbon Strings on Taylor Academy 12e-N – Huge Tone Upgrade or Big Mistake?

Thank you for all your comments and concern on last week’s video where I put steel strings on my Taylor Academy 12e-N nylon string guitar. In this follow-up, I’ve switched to carbon guitar strings – and the tone change on this Taylor nylon acoustic-electric really surprised me.

In this short tone test, you’ll hear exactly how these carbon strings sound on the Taylor Academy 12e-N and why I think they might be a great alternative for players who want more projection and clarity than standard nylon guitar strings.
