All user reviews of 5/5 for the Taylor Baby Taylor

It is a wooden crate Taylor made in Mexico.

Well, not quite anyway: the table is made of spruce, the ebony fingerboard, the rest of the chipboard and sapele (or sapele, a kind of ersatz mahogany) and headstock veneer is Lexan bodies like scale models.
The handle is attached to the body with two screws (yes, with two esses, it's maousses screws) as if you had done to the guitar by your boyfriend what unemployed carpenter.
Frets y'en enough anyway on an acoustic I never play above the tenth fret.
Microphones normally there is none but on mine the previous owner put a Bill Lawrence choking a little resonance of the guitar and sounds great when plugged in, so I can advise you to do the same.

UTILIZATION

This is a mini-Taylor Wooden crate made in Mexico.

But no, this is just a small guitar, a parlor they say people who know: you can pay your children to / they make their first chords, you can lug around in his gigbag Taylor well Padded caca boudin color, you can play with in bed, on the couch, sitting cross-legged beside the fire, on the terrace, poolside, travel, hotel, camping, the beach, in granny, etc..
The handle is a wonder to my fingers. Not too thin, not too thick, not too wide, it reminds me of the handle of a Jazzmaster. This is what attracted me immediately, comfort handle - plus it is ebony, I do not know at all if it changes the sound but it is ebony wood with class.
Ergonomics is just unbelievably perfect. I play every day, sitting in all directions, lying in bed, slouching on the couch and I can always find a comfortable position.

SOUNDS

This is a mini-Taylor Wooden crate made in Mexico that sounds plastoc and that has not serious.

Well no, you see. She does not have much bass, but it sounds very well, much better than the other parlor I tried and you can sing, accompanying himself with having a good sound level. As soon as it exceeds the 8th box sounds like a banjo in the treble and it gives him a folk side / roots really interesting.
It does not sound like a serious and cavernous folk guitar is neither Marissa Nadler guitar or guitar Chelsea Wolfe. But I think if Jess Williamson played mostly acoustic guitar she could play with it.

OVERALL OPINION

I have a few months. Before buying I had a Fender Sonoran that sounded good, I liked a lot but was very bulky and difficult to transport.
I searched a long time a good parlor, I tried the Gretsch Americana, Fender Ron Emory, I did not really like the sound but I felt that the size and shape suit me. And then I told myself that Taylor at worst it would sell well and I bought this one on a whim without even trying.
I am very very happy! She is pretty, it sounds good, you can take it anywhere and play with everywhere, she loves children and the key is ebony.
The quality / price? € 200 for a guitar with Taylor wrote above? C't'une joke?

Taylor thank you for your great guitar wooden crate!

UTILIZATION

What is good with 3/4 is the size of the handle does not disorients you the handle of your electric guitars.
The ergonomics are very good.

SOUNDS

Sound real Dreadnought, but with less power and low / bass course ...
If you like Taylor's in general, you can not be disappointed!
It has a fairly medium sound that some love and other hate ... I love it!

OVERALL OPINION

A very nice little 3/4 wins in portability and ease of play and lose a little sound power and distribution ... But worth it!
The sound of the small 3/4 in Martin seems less lively than this little toy / jewelry.
I recommend this guitar to those a 4/4 bothers ergonomics issue or those whose budget is limited can. Between 4/4 standard and its a bland hair and this little Taylor character, the choice was obvious to me!
I remake that choice!

I am a beginner and I wanted a travel guitar that I could bring on business trips to continue practicing.
I purchased the Baby Taylor (Steel String) at Guitar Center in East Brunswick, NJ. I paid $259 for the guitar and it came with a Taylor Gig bag made for the Baby.

The guitar is 3/4 size, but has standard tuning, which as a beginner I found to be a real advantage. The sound is great and the action is perfect for a beginner. The only shortfall was no pick guard, but a simple call to Taylor customer service and one is on the way.

The missing pick guard was the only thing.

6 string 3/4 size dreadnought made of Sapele Laminate (back/sides) and Sitka Spruce top. It has a mahogany neck and the soundhole rosette is laser-etched.

A great guitar to bring everywhere.

Baby £249 (with hard case)
Fishman Matrix (inc fitting) £130
Bought Baby in Sound Control Glasgow


I thought it would be interesting to amplify the Baby for gigging. It was a slight gamble as I'd never heard an adapted one. Through a PA, it's exceeded all my expectations. A joy to play live, it has people scratching there heads, as they can't believe a tiny guitar can sound so BIG! It's also very LOUD compared to other 'normal' electro-acoustic guitars.

I've had to mark the edge of the fretboard with 'dots' at 5, 7, 9 and 12 as I sometimes found it difficult to see where I was fret-wise under stage lighting.

No problems.

It's fun to play, and very good value.

UTILIZATION

The Baby Taylor is a great first instrument, travel guitar, or kid's guitar. With 3/4 size, it is perfect for small hands to learn on. But at the same time, it's not JUST a kid's guitar - it makes a perfect companion to go backpacking or camping, or for flying. The guitar plays very well, and as a great bonus for adults with larger hands, the fret reach is out of this world, so chords that were previously unplayable on a larger instrument are now ready to be unleashed! The construction is every bit what one would expect from a Taylor - excellent fretwork, no rough woodworking, string-straight neck.

SOUNDS

The Baby doesn't sound as big as a full-sized model, but it doesn't sound like a ukulele either. It is very bright and crisp, as one could expect from a guitar this size. It will certainly do the job well enough to satisfy anyone that buys it. One thing that is a small bummer is that it doesn't sound that great being tuned down. The strings don't hold tension enough to make it a feasible option to tune down. On the converse, however, it sounds great being tuned up! I tuned it up to F# and it sounded sublime, almost as if the guitar was made just for that tuning. If you get one of these, or try it out, try to tune it in F# or even G and see how neat the sound is!

OVERALL OPINION

I like this guitar for the craftsmanship and quality, and for the ease of playability. The option of having a guitar that is easy to take along on trips is also a bonus. Most parents aren't going to spring for a guitar in the $400 range as a first guitar for their kids, but for those that do, this guitar is a great instrument that will still remain cool even when the child becomes an adult. I highly recommend this guitar.

UTILIZATION

The handle is a rgal. Normal is a Taylor. I dj "small" 110 of the brand and I find the same comfort the baby.
For cons, the frets are less spaces, given the size of the small bte. Yet I have small fingers but I must admit that it is not always easy to tackle some agreements, such as a barr-shaped La. This "default" is inhrent size: the Baby is primarily a travel guitar, it must therefore be compact.
The mcaniques prcises but are good and the guitar is quite sensitive to changes in temprature, it is not big trs and therefore has little thermal inertia. We must connect all the fawn as often mcaniques when same are small and suffer a little for the bends and so on.
The handle is screwed and the screws are visible on the sidelines. ESG has no absolutely not for the game tration, this construction should allow disassemble the handle to gain more room while traveling. I try plutt deprecated ...
Technical Note 8, because of all of the same raccordage frquent enough, but easy to do, unlike some distant cousins ​​in China.

SOUNDS

The sound is good, it is equilibrated. This guitar is not a toy, it's clear. on the other hand, do not expect deep bass. The body is too small for that, the sounds are in a register pluttmdium, but hot. In any case for model I possde all mahogany.
The sustain is good, the volume is quite consquent and thundering on the basis of measurements. I live in an apartment and I often play on the evening plutt Baby on the 110, the neighbor is my trs grateful.

OVERALL OPINION

If you can not do without a guitar on a trip, go for it!
But even staying home is a pleasure to play it. Its small size makes it ergonomically sound trs typ mdium can play with pretty things and picking blues, with its limited banjo / ukull in the treble. INTERESTED thus broaden their sonic palette.
As for the price ... About 300 euros. To each to see if he needs the p'tite.

This small Mexican has everything you expect from a compact folk.
The real luxury is revealed in detail and simplicity the key and the bridge are ebony, and precious woods as aesthetically pleasant.
Another element to this attractive price range: the rose, which is not a stupid paper stuck in the varnish, but a pattern carved on the soundboard. The neck and body are perfectly balanced, the guitar does not "look" not the head end or side hips.

UTILIZATION

The violin work is absolutely perfect. The woods are excellent and of course the sound is there to testify.
The game is total comfort, it is a treat.
Note the handle screw that allows the heel to avoid large: you can access more easily to the last boxes of the handle.
The action is neither too high nor too low, the settings are impeccable.

SOUNDS

May be considered blues and folk without any difficulty on this little wonder, and many other genres! It should be noted that just as a "compact", this guitar can not give as much power as traditional Dreadnought. But the balance of bass and treble will be appreciated by all: it is "weak" in any way and I think for the price and it gives the full measure of what can be expected .. . and beyond, because this little model "sends the wood."

OVERALL OPINION

I was not very "Dreadnought," I liked the Parlor for a silly reason for shape and size. The bodies of Dreadnoughts, very heavy and / or bulky had never agreed. I was also about to buy an Art & Lutherie AMI, when the BT1 crossed my path. And I do not regret that choice, I recommend it, even.

It may have less "face" (first look) than other compact and it is difficult to show off his look, right away, but behind the simplicity, quality, sound and comfort game are all there and very quickly you can not do without.
