## Description

Baby Taylor, Mahogany Top

Review: Be careful when buying online - The guitar has a natural wood grain pattern on the fretboard that some people perceive as discoloration. If aesthetics are important to you, it is far better to buy this model in person at a store rather than online, because every piece of wood is unique and you cannot predict exactly how the grain will look in photos. The guitar itself is excellent, but buying it online is a gamble when it comes to the appearance of the fretboard
Review: I'm no conaseur of guitars. I've just decided ( at 60 ) to finally take the time to learn to play. It's gonna be a long winter in lockdown. But I do love the size of this guitar, reminds me of the one my mother played. It just fits. Thoroughly enjoying the experience.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the guitar need to be set up or is it ready to go?**
A: The Baby Taylor needs no set up, just tune it and it's ready to go. However you may want to adjust the action height of the strings if it feels hard on your finger tips while fretting. You can learn how it's done on You Tube and do it yourself.

**Q: Can this be used with a strap?**
A: Yes of course, I use strap for more confortable guitar playing...

**Q: Wife is 5 foot 1 inch small hands She is using a full size and is uncomfortable to play. Would a 3/4 be better**
A: 3/4 size guitars are a great option for people with smaller hands, and are much more comfortable to play while sitting down. The Taylor BT2 is a very comfortable, easy to play option for people of smaller stature!

**Q: Does this come with a bag? If not, what should I get as a cover? My daughter travels for her lessons.**
A: Thanks for writing!  Yes, this does indeed come with a padded Gig Bag.  That should be perfect for her to travel to her lessons with. Let us know if you have other questions!

*by S***N on 24 August 2015*

I got tired of lugging my nice guitars around on trips and vacations, so bought this to take along with me. Previously I'd had a Martin Backpacker, that i never liked. I didn't care for the sound, and the action was really awful. This guitar is great though, and sounds deceptively bigger than it is. It's got a nice warm sound, and is great for finger style. It sits well in your lap too...(far better than the backpacker), although it does have a lug for a standard guitar strap. The mahogany is well finished, and gets a lot of comments. It has good quality tuners that keep it in tune very well. I also looked at the Little Martin LX1, but didn't like the sound as much as I did that of the Taylor. The martin sounded a bit muddier, and not as well defined. The Taylor has a really nice warm rich sound to it... While not the same as a full sized Dreadnaught, it really does well. I do keep a humidifier in it (one of those sponge ones) to keep it from desiccating in the dry heat. I did hear from a friend who had one crack on them... apparently they did not keep it humidified. It came with a nice functional backpack style carrying case, which I used for several trips, but I as always paranoid the guitar would get smashed, as it was not a hard sided case, so I bought the SKB Baby Taylor case for it. Glad I did! You can't go wrong with this guitar. While not cheap, it would also be good for a child, as it is a perfect size, and the action is quite good, which will make life easier for their little fingers. I keep it at work when I don't have a trip, and play it just about every day at lunch. No negative comments at all. It's everything I hoped it would be. Stephen Boise, ID
