Pure Portability: Taylor Guitar's Baby Taylor BT1 is Perfect for Travel and Little Hands

The Baby Taylor is the ultimate travel companion, delivering volume and tone that surprise for its diminutive dimensions. At three-quarters the size of a full-sized guitar, the Baby Taylor BT1 lives for the road. It also loves little hands, which makes it an irresistible choice for kids taking lessons. Available with either a solid spruce or solid mahogany top. Part of an acoustic guitar’s appeal is its portability. Wherever you mightbe headed, the compact Baby Taylor makes the perfect musical companion. Its debut over a decade ago set a new benchmark for players on the go, giving them a legitimate musical instrument that’s resilient and can truly carry a tune, all the way up the neck. It’s also perfectly kid-friendly.

Baby Taylor BT1 : The Little Dreadnought That Could

At a ¾-scale, the Baby Taylor BT1 is the little dreadnought that could. Taylor’s ultra-portable travel mate belies its size with a sweet, full voice and great tone. It’s remarkably versatile for special applications, whether played in alternate tunings or high-strung; with a capo or a slide. And it’s the perfect starter guitar for young kids.

4Surprisingly good!
By J. Rowland
Not too shabby at all. It really has a wonderful sound for such a small guitar. No, it doesn't have the bass response of larger and even some cheaper full size guitars but it sounds clean and bright and does the job when a big sound isn't required. Regarding the size of the frets and playing it, it is of course smaller and sometimes some chords seem a little bunched but then on some chords it is easier to play. Just depends on the size of your hands. The size can be both a plus and a negative. A plus when traveling or playing on the couch or in bed. A negative when wanting a bigger sound but it's not designed for performance although in the right application can easily sound good enough for certain performances. The action is a tiny high out of the factory compared to many guitars and that might turn off new players but it could be worse so no big deal. I personally love it but my hands aren't huge and I don't require a big sound. Great guitar for kids to learn on for sure although cheaper ones could be found without the same quality. It may be small and cheaper (minor corners have been cut to save money in the building process) than some Taylor guitars but it is still a Taylor and it sounds like one too and that's a wonderful thing for this little guy! :) Btw, it comes with a nice tan colored Taylor gig bag made just for the baby Taylor. AND, if this guitar is too small for you but you still want quality in a slightly smaller package you might want to look at the 15/16th sized big baby Taylor or even some parlor guitars. Just a thought.Edit after one year:It is still a very nice guitar and I don't regret buying it and much of what I originally stated above still applies. That said, I know a little bit more about guitars and learning guitar than I did before (mind you I am no professional and still learning so take that into consideration please) and I would like to add that I now do not recommend this guitar for most normal sized adults or even some adults with smaller hands, as a beginner guitar for the following reasons. One, it's a bit too small and cramped for learning many chords and for picking strings cleanly. This can lead to frustration, tension and sore hands and fingers beyond what normally happens with a beginner learning to play. Not to mention, the action is kinda high imho. Two, it's a bit more "pingy" or "twangy" sounding than I originally thought. Having used some nicer and full sized guitars since, I can say while this one is pretty darn nice for a 3/4 guitar, it's really not a "great" sound over all. After a year of using it, I would only suggest this guitar be purchased for adults with VERY small hands, children ages 7-12 or so depending on their size, and for those who NEED another smaller guitar for travel or some other reason. "Need" is the key word I think when considering this guitar.

5Perfect
By Robert J. Fries
As I have gotten older my fingers don't stretch as they used to. So while in Best Buy music dept. I decided to walk into a neat acoustic guitar room where they have their entire inventory to look at and sample. I wanted to try some smaller some smaller guitars. I picked up the Taylor Baby and was sold on it after strumming a few cords. Great sound, minimal action, simple but attractive and priced great for a Taylor, A richer sound then my my Ovation Applause. A real winner

3Bridge is coming up
By Addie Lambert
Purchase this from a local music store. I purchased one for my daughter in June of last year, and the bridge is already lifting from the guitar. We were told this is unusual for a Taylor, it is more common in a cheaper guitar.Our local music store would have replaced it if it was purchased there, but I wanted to save $50.... It has been well taken care of, yet it is now going to cost me $100.00 to get it fixed. The sound is great and she loves it.
