The Baby Taylor That Popularized the Travel Guitar
Designed to deliver the "Taylor sound" in a compact format, the BT2 helped popularize travel guitars. Its arched back design and meticulous craftsmanship provide surprising volume for its size, while maintaining excellent tuning stability and ruggedness built for mobility.Who It's For and Suitable Styles
Ideal for beginners, young musicians, and experienced guitarists on the move. Its smooth playability and reduced string tension make it perfect for accompaniment, songwriting, and fingerstyle playing. It excels in folk, pop, indie, roots blues, and easily fits into studio arrangements as well as live performances.Sound Characteristics
The solid mahogany top emphasizes a dense midrange register, with a present fundamental, minimal unwanted harmonics, and a "percussive" attack. The compact 3/4 dreadnought body offers controlled bass and soft trebles, while the slightly arched layered sapele back adds projection and coherence. The short scale length favors singing sustain at low tension, ideal for fingerstyle, capos, and open chords.Recommended Compatible Accessories
- Phosphor bronze acoustic light strings (12-53), perfectly suited to the 22-3/4" scale length for a balance of comfort and tone.- Guitar strap with standard strap buttons (two buttons present) for secure standing play.
- Gig bag humidifier to protect the solid top during climate variations.
