"great value, great sound"

hard shell case was free with mine (they ran out of gig bags)

Quality:
outstanding quality, have been playing mine for years - no trouble.

Value:
a fabulous value, sounds better than even more expensive guitars

Desirability:
very compelling visually

Sound:
to my ears, it's as good as an acoustic gets (factory made, modern day)

Ease of Use:
world-class easy to play, good for someone with small hands even

never dealt with their support

Overall:
i have used this guitar for years, even in the studio. no plans on outgrowing it

"If you like Jethro Tull's acoustic stuff..."

Feature:
I wish they would come out with an electric/acoustic version.

Quality:
I own a 314ce and it doesn't look that good but not a bad looking instrument. It seems to be built well with a solid spruce top (also available in a mohogony top but youe sound will change to more mid to lower mids I'm told, warmer tone I guess).

Value:
ASlot of people say it's pricey but I don't think so, It is the best of the 3/4 guitars hands down, the Martin doesn't even come close!

Desirability:
I want it and like I said, eventually I will own it...I'm actually was hoping Taylor would come out with a Big Baby size with a cut-a-away and thin 2" to 3" body depth...To me, it would give me the best of both worlds...

Sound:
The best way to describe the sound of this guitar is "Ian Anderson" like (Jethro Tull)who also plays a scalde down size acoustic (his is custom made by a luthier in England). I love the sound of this thing and will purchasr this guitar in the near future! Great mids and bright like a Taylor! Playability is awesome too...

Ease of Use:
Again plays like a dream...

Support:
Have never delt with

Overall:
I am sure I would keep forever as it will also make a great travel guitar.

About This Product!
Description
Docs
The Baby Taylor is the ultimate travel companion, delivering volume and tone that surprise for its diminutive dimensions. At 3/4 the size of a full-sized guitar, the Baby Taylor lives for the road. It also loves little hands, which makes it an irresistible choice for kids taking lessons. Available with either a solid spruce or solid mahogany top.

At a 3/4 in. 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.
