Discover the Difference a Taylor Guitar Can Make!

At 3/4-scale, the Baby Taylor 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. A mahogany top adds extra mid-range punch, often described as a "bluesy edge," to the tone of the Baby Mahogany. A durable varnish finish offers protection, good looks, and a smooth feel to the touch.

Right Size Travel Guitar

I like to play my guitar daily and since we travel a lot I have to lug one of my full size acoustic guitars. The solution was to purchase the Baby Taylor Acoustic Guitar. It is 3/4s the size of a full size but still has a good tone and, of course, has Taylor-built quality. As a bonus, the guitar comes with a nice gig bag. I ordered the Taylor Baby Acoustic Guitar from Sweetwater and it was delivered less than a week later.

First Guitar and First Sweetwater Experience

Wow! Sweetwater has such a wonderful team! I had an exceptional experience from the beginning. Ryan with online/text customer service support helped send me some other guitar option links and taught me about nylon strings. I planned on going to the store, and that is where my experience continued. Michael in the store did an outstanding job! I work in customer service, and he couldn't have been more patient, informative, and helpful. When I came in the store, I had a list of guitars that I wanted to pick someone's brain about. I ended up with this beauty! I learned about how Sweetwater puts pictures of all their guitars on their page, so that customers can see the different grains of the wood. I can be particular, so I found this to be good information. I preferred the grain of the electric baby Taylor in the store to the image for the acoustic online. The one that came in turned out to be perfect! Another thing that I want to mention is that I wasn't being upsold to. In fact, Michael showed me that there was an acoustic version of the one in the store that was cheaper. That is customer service! I'm just starting out, so I didn't need the electric addition. This makes me trust Sweetwater for future purchases. Also, I asked him to play the guitar in store, so I could get an idea of the sound. He was kind enough to oblige. From someone who is new to playing a guitar, I found that to be valuable. He also taught me how to tune my guitar which I thought was going to be a lot harder to do. In addition, there are way more kinds of picks than I would have thought. He shared why I would want a certain pick pack to get started. I wanted to add that a gentleman named Ryan offered a couple times to look over my guitar as Michael was getting me all set to go. Ryan even taught me about humidipaks which are going to be very handy in my dry apartment. Adam Crampton, if you see this review, these two gentleman in your music store deserve all the kudos!!! I was provided some of the best customer service I've ever received. I feel like they genuinely were excited for me and my new guitar, and they knew their stuff! This review is more about the customer service as I have only played my guitar once. I successfully tuned it and learned a couple chords! Lastly, the guitar is a great size for people who are a little shorter and who have small hands. I am 5 foot, and my hands are smaller than any adult that I know. Thank you to Taylor Guitars for making a great guitar and thank you to the guys in the store for being extremely knowledgeable and friendly! I start lessons next week at The Academy!

Patrick Cobley really came thru for me on this one.
The guitar is smallish and the neck is too but, it's perfect!
Great for beginners and me too 25 years of playing guitar....it stays in tune and the intonation is spot on.
Just buy it already...

Well a lovely, cute playing lul travel guitar, I just got it a couple of days ago! Perfect for leaving out & about with 6 kitties around. they respect her in the stand . The guitar is what I expected, I only expected it a tad larger but for practice & having it by my side constantly The Baby is perfection! It also shows me how fine my GS mini mah is ! The tone is perfect & so far it's easy to keep tuned. It is truly the perfect travel size guitar & it will come with me over the winter to visit friends my mini will stay home I need it for some Gig. I Love the light strings & wonderful Easy playing neck! One thing but not the " baby's" fault humidifier check, but I knew in advance , I hope the bolt on neck gives me not 1 issue! Want to thank my awesome SuperbSE Pat Walsh, literally with me beginning to end , he has such a calming knowledgeable way about him I have all my new gear from July so except for my 2nd stand Pat has me all set up for the holidays. I will always go to pat for any ?s & any guitar talk ty see you soon! Now I really see the outrageous sound I get from my mini mah . As long as the bolt on Stays put ? I am a very satisfied Sweetwater camper
The feel of the neck is so similar Taylor Will b the way to go until I doubtfully find better ty Sweetwater what did I do without you

Perfect guitar!

I feel like Taylor made this guitar just for me. I am a very petite woman who attempted learning to play when I was a teenager. My little hands had such trouble hitting all the chords that I became frustrated and gave it up. This baby Taylor made all the difference in the world for me . I am successfully learning to play ! This 3/4 sized guitar has a big beautiful sound and is frankly, quite impressive! I highly recommend this guitar. You will not be disappointed.
