Sitka spruce top. 15/16-size. Natural finish.

The Baby Taylor's big sibling, a 15/16-scale Dreadnought with a solid Sitka spruce top and sapele-laminate back and sides, boasts a surprisingly full voice, comes with a lightweight gig bag for easy portability, and makes a trusty companion wherever you go - even if it's just to the couch. Measuring just a fraction smaller than a full-size Taylor Dreadnought, the Big Baby is small enough to be a perfect travel companion, yet big enough to be a trusty performer. A durable varnish finish offers protection, good looks, and a smooth feel to the touch. Available in natural finish.

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
i really could not be more happy with the purchase. i can't believe how cheap it was for what i got.
Sound
the guitar has a beautiful sound that is slighty cheap sounding...in a good way. it has a sort of boxy bluesiness to it that i really like a lot. as far as expressiveness goes, i think it's fantastic. i feel it has tons more range than many other acoustics i've tried.
Features
the gig bag that comes with the guitar is great. i flew all over europe with it and because of the extra padding and stiffness i never had a problem checking it. also, the strings it ships with are great. i'm now hooked on elixirs. about 2 months after i bought the guitar someone sat down to play it and after about 1 minute he looked up, smiled and said, "new strings!" little did he know.
Quality
i have noticed no flaws in the construction. granted, it's a less expensive guitar and you can tell that they cut corners in many areas like aesthetics and the bolt on neck, but i feel they put the value where it counts.
Value
i believe it's the best cheap acoustic you can buy.
Manufacturer Support
no need for support yet.
The Wow Factor
i constant find myself drawn to the guitar. it's so great for fingerpicking and just jamming out.
