Baby Taylor BT2 is currently on sale on Amazon through this link!
The Baby Taylor guitar is an exquisite guitar, which really brings out Taylor Guitars attention to detail and craftsmanship that we all have known about and cared for throughout the years. They certainly cut no corners in the crafting of the Baby Taylor, a smaller version of their famous full sized acoustic.
Taylor has been around for a long time and has done some great things, being one of the leading companies in the world when it comes to making premium quality acoustic, as well as electric guitars, so when I got my hands on this thing I knew I wasn’t going to get anything shoddy in return
The Baby Taylor BT2 features a solid Mahogany top, 3/4 Size Dreadnought, Sapele Back and Sides, an Ebony Fretboard with a 22 and 3/4 scale with 19 frets, Enclosed, Die Cast Chrome Plated tuning heads, an adjustable truss, and a black gig bag. It plays smooth and comfortable, making it easy for someone just learning or for someone who has some experience with the instrument.
Baby Taylor is only three quarters the size of a regular acoustic guitar, which makes it absolutely perfect for someone who is traveling, for a younger player, or for someone that just doesn’t like large bulky acoustic guitars. The size also surprisingly doesn’t seem to take away from its very full tone, which was very interesting to me. Though I don’t build guitars for a living either, so I stake no claim as to its craftsmanship.
The sound is very full and lush, not tinny or dry, like a lot of other brands that are in this price range and lower. The Mahogany produces a very clear and mid saturated tone which is very warm to the ears. The laminate back and sides really help the tone resonate, as well, which really puts this guitar into a class of its own without a doubt. Do not be fooled by its small size, the Baby Taylor will measure to up to any full size instrument of similar quality.
The only thing I didn’t like about it was the price, but in comparing a lot of other instruments around the same price range, I came to find that indeed this instrument measures beyond the others in terms of quality, playability, and tone, without being overly expensive. All in all it is worth the money I would say, though if you were looking to get a child into playing guitar I would definitely recommend a cheaper acoustic guitar to start with.
I was very pleased with the Baby Taylor BT2 guitar, it is well worth the price and I have grown to love the care and design that Taylor Guitars has placed into the Baby Taylor, and most assuredly recommend it to anyone who has a love for acoustic guitars. Read more user reviews.
