Guitar very simple but very nice, no lack of finishing.

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!

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.

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.
