The Baby Taylor, a 3/4 Size Standard
A true benchmark among compact guitars, the Baby Taylor BT1 helped popularize the 3/4 size format thanks to an intelligent design that combines comfort, intonation, and musicality. It fits between the "GS Mini" models and full-size dreadnoughts, offering a lightweight and sturdy alternative for traveling, practicing at home, or composing.
For Whom and Which Styles?
The BT1 suits beginners as well as experienced guitarists looking for an easy-to-play instrument. Its short scale facilitates barre chords and stretches, while the compact body remains comfortable both standing and sitting. Perfect for pop, folk, country, acoustic blues, and voice/guitar accompaniment, it also excels in alternate tunings and with a capo.
Sound
The solid Sitka spruce top delivers a lively and nuanced response, with present mids and bright highs. The slightly arched back and laminated walnut sides provide stability and projection, with compact yet clear bass. The small mini-dreadnought body favors definition and punch, producing a clear, responsive, and inspiring "Taylor" sound with surprising sustain for this size.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve and optimize your BT1: phosphor bronze acoustic string set "Light" (.012-.053), universal capo for acoustic guitars, clip-on tuner, acoustic guitar humidifier. Carrying case included.

Bought on a super promo for my 9 year old daughter who seriously started playing guitar by herself. Perfect size for kids and teens, good for adults but you don't have to have big fingers.
Ok finish and sound projection correct for the body size. You don't have to get in too much of it otherwise it sounds a bit cheap. Super comfortable handleAutomatically translated
