zZounds Gear Experts Say...
This acoustic guitar is small and affordable enough for beginners or portable enough for travelling guitarists of all skill levels.

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.
