Conceived as a starter guitar for younger players, the lovable Baby Taylor has maintained its enduring appeal in part by being a legitimate musical instrument that anyone can enjoy. The three-quarter-size dreadnought helped touring musicians like Taylor Swift sketch new musical ideas on the road, and has been a reliable musical accomplice for travelers seeking inspiration while trekking the world. A Sitka Spruce top blends stiffness and elasticity in just the right proportions which translates into broad dynamic range with crisp articulation. Layered walnut back and sides create a sturdy yet receptive platform for the vibrating string energy sent by the guitar's top, and is less susceptible to changes in temperature and humidity. This makes it an excellent choice for players who travel with their instruments or simply require more durability. This Baby Taylor is also equipped with the ES-B system, which incorporates piezo design elements from the flagship Taylor ES2 system. Powered by a 9V battery, its onboard preamp includes a built-in digital chromatic tuner, an LED display for tuning and low battery indication, as well as a tone-sculpting 3-band EQ. All Baby Taylor guitars ship with a durable travel-worthy gig bag made by Taylor for optimal fit and protection.
