    Small Handle like guitar but a real treat for even big hands.

    USE

    The access to the treble is not the priority is confined on 7 premires boxes
    very good ergonomics due to the size of the instrument.
    The sound is typ blues and ideal for finger picking.

    SONORITS

    As composer and practicing the studio lot, the baby taylor brings an original tone color to diversify acoustic taken with respect to the tenors of the genre.
    Considering the size, the bass is not very deep, but the mids compensate.

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    I use it for 2 days, no regret for 280 euros with gigbag.

    Solid spruce top, the rest against plated. Background very bulging. Made in Mexico.

    SOUNDS

    Its a very average frequency. Even excessive for my taste.

    Several people told me they liked the sound of the guitar. I did not understand at first and then I understood. This guitar makes you so comfortable during the game you're in at pace: it sounds, it projects a maximum, no buzz, fingers sit comfortably ...

    In fact the sound is not the smoothness and serious good dreadnought. Sorry, but the coloration of the sound is "small guitar". Against it by no shortage of voices.

    For me, the beauty of the sound of a guitar is almost more in the way and ease of play, as in the sound in itself. This is the highlight of the Baby Taylor -> it puts you at ease, makes you want to play, and it shows!

    OVERALL OPINION

    For me this guitar completely filled the expectations I had towards her:
    - It is super easy to carry around in her beautiful bag well padded,
    - She has lived (some stains) and a finish that fears nothing -> I use it anywhere without fear of damaging it,
    - She has enough votes to set the mood,

    In view of sound and finish, new, I find it horribly expensive. Used on the other hand, this is a good investment.
    I secretly dream of a little mass while Martin (a 5-15), but I do not know if it will be as enjoyable to play, especially at Euro 1300 this is completely unreasonable for what it is!

    My bands name is Acoustica and we're a 4 person unplugged cover band that plays in the Pittsburgh area. We do tunes from the 70s through the present day and take requests from the audience.

    This is a smaller scale six string acoustic guitar designed for small learners and small hands. I've been playing guitar, keys, harmonica, and doing a little recording for about 30 years and now I have an 11 month old son that has an amazing interest every time I am playing around on the acoustic.

While he's a little young yet, I couldn't resist this Baby Taylor when I saw it.

    I purchased this Baby Taylor from Guitar Center in Robinson Township, PA, near Pittsburgh. It was $289 with a really attractive tan soft shell case with a nice Taylor embroidered logo.

    <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thebandconbrio">https://www.facebook.com/thebandconbrio</a>

    I'm impressed with a couple things. First of all, for a relatively inexpensive, small scale acoustic it has decent action and is really easy to play. Should be great for my son's small hands. Also, it is amazingly loud and could be used as a campfire guitar. The small scale of the neck and body is also great. The guitar itself is very attractive. The neck is primarily rosewood, but there appears to be some type of pattern to it, so it's not a solid color all the way up the scale. Also, there's a nice laser etched pattern around the sound hole that is tasteful and attractive.

    While the sound is pretty big, it's also a little harsh and not really warm - which you would expect. It's not a big deal, really, but just calling that out as you shouldn't expect tone like you'd get from a jumbo or dreadnought. Other than that, I like everything else!

    Quality seems very good. Fit and finish are tight and everything is bolted down well. The guitar is very light, but it should be, even though I don't think it will stand up to too much abuse. I'm a little worried about my little one swinging this around.

    Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase. The guitar is well built, it fits the playa, and it sounds pretty good for a smaller scale body and neck. It looks great, was at an attractive price point and hey, it's a Taylor! Who can complain. I would recommend it to others.

    I played it for a long time in Rudy's Music in Manhattan, but didn't buy it. It was going for $250, I think.

    Light yet well made travel acoustic guitar. Has a pretty nice sound. You might even use it for an intimate, strummy acoustic sound on record.

    Nothing, really, except that you can't expect to get the volume and feel of a full-size acoustic from this. But that's too much to ask.

    Good. The adornments are a little plain, but how else would you get a Taylor for under $300?

    I liked this guitar and if I had the extra cash, I would have bought it. It is the only travel acoustic I've played that sounds like a standard-tuned guitar to my ear -- and that's including the Martin Backpac…

    The Baby Taylor was purchased in Utah for $290 and came along with a hardcase. The top is a Mahogony and it has kept well

    . I have had this Guitar for over three years. It is the best traveling Guitar I have found on the market and I have tried just about all of them. It is tuned to E and stays tuned. Contrary to the other review, I believe the it has a great sound and the low ends are very good. I noticed that that player doesn't hear the music as loud as the audience.

    It has a simple design and often I note that listeners are surprised by its strong voice.

    I hve been very happy with this guitar and I hope to pass it on to my children when they are a little older. In the meantime I plan on using it as much as possible.

    The strings on the neck are close together because of its small size and takes a little getting used to. The small neck width is great for little hands, but having played classical guitars for many years, the small neck slows down my picking ability.

    Well made, adjustable string height. Good finish and good case.

    I would buy it again!!I have had nothing go wrong with this guitar, the tuners are great and it is a fun guitar to play.

    Purchased at Guitar Center for $249 for my son.

    Good 3/4 size for my son. Nice action. Fun to bang on around the campfire or as a second guitar when a pick'n friend comes over.


    Thin sound but what do you expect from such a small box.

    Good construction.

    Typical Taylor. Nice little guitar well made nice action best option I could find for my sons 7 year old hands.

    The finish is satiny and devoid of any ornamentation. It's rustic, while leaving an impression of overall quality.
    Note the presence of two tie straps.

    UTILIZATION

    Getting started is easy.

    The handle is particularly pleasant and easy, fine and V-shaped Although the original set, it provides a real playability and good accessibility to the 15th box is going to say.

    The lightweight, small size of the body and short scale confuse some at first, but you get used very quickly. I guess we should not have too big fingers no longer given the small size of the boxes.



    SOUNDS

    Already guitar projects well and is great considering the small size of the fund. Power is more than enough to play acoustic in small groups.
    The notes have relatively little body was expected but I also find that the intonation is not very clear. It's a little drool.

    The sound is distinctive and rough, which is ideal for plans bluesy. It should probably do wonders in open tuning and slide.

    Large agreements of 5 or 6 strings down the neck are not his strong point, the sound is not really "envelope" and so they are pretty mellow, however, by smothering or by playing a few notes c is very nice.

    OVERALL OPINION

    In his initial role, it is an instrument tip top for a child who wants to learn guitar on an instrument a little "rock" with little discouraged.

    Travel guitar as an adult, it is nickel because it does not take place while maintaining the look and feel of a real guitar.
    It comes in a nice tweed gigbag well padded color, all must go in hand luggage on a plane, which depends on the mood of the officer in the case of a "big".

    As a second guitar folk, it is also justified, typed with its sound, its friendliness and character that make it an instrument that will be endearing desire to play.

    I mounted a magnetic active on it, which gives it an added attraction as a guitar "backup".

    UTILIZATION

    Channel for a very fine folk, screwed directly on the table, allowing the lack of heel. It is generally very pleasant, the varnish sticks. Its smoothness is a bit confusing at first but we made it.

    The guitar is very light (normal considering its size) and very handy. Pleasant to play sitting (not tried standing). The back is curved but not annoying. You can find a suitable position easily.

    Despite the lack of access to acute heel is difficult (the frets on the table), the boxes are small by going to the table (not for big fingers) but hey it is not designed to make solos Block 17 ...

    The tuners are a little weaklings, they regularly go out of tune, but hey ... I often carries However I have never had a problem during the game

    Guitar bought for his small size and small pitch, easy to play, and carry around:)

    SOUNDS

    His qualities (and defects) are a relative in view of its small size:

    There is little bass, the sound is not very powerful, but the projection is amazing for a guitar of this size. Highs are necessarily much more present, rather slap, but not aggressive either. the whole is very pleasant to listen, and some sounds reminiscent of the ukulele. I guess the quality of wood and manufacturing (massive table anyway) are not for anything in this rendering of the most amazing sound.

    I play with a bit of everything: chords, arpeggios, finger picking ...

    In comparison, it replaced an electro-acoustic Ibanez Talman TCY10E (which I had chosen for its ergonomics, near an electric guitar, and its small size compared to my Dreadnought). It (not plugged into an amp electric) did not have much more bass and sound was very "canned", not organic, quick unpleasant (well that is subjective).
    With Baby, I have a smaller guitar with much better quality wood, and that sounds like a great (with less power of course) and not as a cardboard guitar. Perfect for portable use as I did.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 1 month.

    I have not tried other models before, because it is by trying it by chance that I realized it would help me to replace my Ibanez Talman. I still well-tested models of competition (Martin) but I stumbled on the low-end models of Chinese pseudo marks (without comparison in real crates ...), so the Taylor 's is imposed by itself.

    +: Very handy, I play it everywhere: on my couch watching TV with friends in the evening at the university. It sounds really good for a guitar so small. Easy to play (it would also be great for a beginner or a person of small stature as a child, a dreadnouht 4 / 4 could discard). gig bag provided very classy and very thick.

    -: Lack of bass (but hey we know in advance, and I did not buy it for that, I have my Dreadnought 4 / 4 for this ...)

    Value for money 8 / 10: it seems a bit expensive for a guitar that made "toy" but it is not one! it has real qualities, and manufacturing and wood quality are beyond reproach.

    I would do without that choice issue, but I would try out the mahogany model anyway!

    Solid Tiny Guitar

    Taylor Baby TaylorPublished on 06/15/10 at 17:04
    This is an american made Taylor acoustic, one that is 3/4 the size of most of their guitars. This makes it ideal for young children who want to learn how to play guitar, as it accommodates their smaller fingers. There aren't any pickups on this guitar. There are 19 frets on it. The fingerboard is rosewood and feels good. The bridge is a standard Taylor acoustic bridge.

    UTILIZATION

    There aren't that many high notes on this guitar, and the high ones aren't particularly easy to get to. But this is an acoustic that most likely won't be getting used for leads, so this isn't that much of a problem. The sound is pretty, it has a full tone for such a small guitar.

It's so light and easy to carry that it's very much a fun guitar to have.

    SOUNDS

    The sound quality of this guitar is pretty good for how light it is. It's basically perfect for a campfire singalong style of playing. It's probably not the perfect guitar to use for recording, mainly because it's small stature and limited frets don't give it the kind of resonance that you need for a good acoustic sound. It fits the styles of playing I mentioned before, mainly the singalong and strumming styles.

    OVERALL OPINION

    If you are looking for a good guitar to be able to bring around with you, or a good guitar for a child to start playing, this is probably that guitar. It's got the right balance of portability and sound/feel. It isn't that expensive so it's usually a good buy. I like using it when I'd rather not play one of my nicer acoustics, so it's useful. There are a lot of traveler's guitars around, but none quite like this one. I recommend it highly.

    The Taylor Baby guitar is a 3/4 size guitar that has 19 frets. It doesn't come with a pick up, but the one I have has a pick up installed that was put on when I bought it. It isn't inherently acoustic-electric so it doesn't have any setting controls. Having the pick up is nice, but not essential as it sounds good when just played acoustic.

    UTILIZATION

    The neck on the Baby Taylor has an overall nice feel to it. Since it is 3/4 sized, the frets are pretty small, and while I have small fingers, someone with big fingers might have some trouble playing this guitar. It is easy to access the top notes and is very light in weight. It has a great sounding tone for a little guitar.

It is easy to access the top notes and is very light in weight. It has a great sounding tone for a little guitar.

    SOUNDS

    The overall sound of the Baby Taylor is clean and surprising big sounding despite its small size. I have used it for rock and pop, and also proves to be a great guitar to bring around and play solo because of how small it is. The tone is big and its nice neck makes it a pleasure to play. While this guitar definitley doesn't sound as good as some of regular sized Taylors guitars, it does sound better than a lot of regular sized guitars that are in its price range and above.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had my Taylor Baby guitar for about six or seven years. It not only is great sounding, but its small size makes it easy to bring around and be ready for action at any moment. It has a nice overall feel if your fingers are small enough and is very well built for the price. I haven't played or even seen any other acoustic guitars at 3/4 size, so I can't compare it to anything similar. The price is very reasonable as you're getting a great sounding guitar that has the Taylor seal, so you know you're getting a good product. All in all I'm quite happy with my Taylor Baby and would recommend it for anyone either looking for a 3/4 sized guitar, or wants a guitar with a different overall look and feel to it than they are used to.
