A travel-ready acoustic with the iconic Taylor tone.
The Baby Taylor koa dreadnought from Taylor Guitars packs impressive sound into a small, portable package. Designed as a 3/4-size instrument, the Baby Taylor features a compact body that's easy to carry and ideal for travel and practice on the go. The guitar's solid Hawaiian koa top yields a naturally compressed and focused tone, with added shimmer and chime in the high end. This provides a balanced acoustic voice that belies the Baby Taylor's diminutive proportions. The layered koa back and sides offer a sturdy build that stands up to the rigors of transport, while still allowing the top to sing. With Taylor's comfortable neck profile and smooth satin finish, the Baby Taylor koa feels great for players of all skill levels. The included gig bag provides safe storage during travels near and far. Wherever your music takes you, the Baby Taylor koa acoustic guitar is ready to come along.
Small Body Design Travels Light With Taylor Tone
As a 3/4-size dreadnought model, the compact Baby Taylor koa delivers impressive volume and articulation from its modest dimensions. The reduced body size makes the guitar lightweight and highly portable. Take it anywhere without hassle for practice, songwriting or jam sessions on the go. Despite its travel-ready stature, the Hawaiian koa top produces the balanced, focused Taylor tone you'd expect from a full-size instrument. From soft fingerpicking to aggressive strumming, the Baby Taylor koa acoustic projects with remarkable clarity.
Layered Koa Back and Sides Built to Last
While the solid koa top determines much of the Baby Taylor's acoustic voice, the layered koa back and sides also play an important role. Built from multiple thin sheets, the layered koa construction provides exceptional rigidity that stands up to changes in temperature and humidity. This makes the guitar perfect for globetrotting musicians who need an instrument that can handle being on the road. The back and sides also add balanced resonance to complement the top. Together, these tonewoods yield an impressively bold and clear acoustic tone from the Baby Taylor's compact body.
Play Comfortably With Taylor's Neck Profile
The Baby Taylor koa acoustic sports the same neck profile found on full-size Taylor models. This slim, smooth design feels comfortable and familiar right away. The satin finish enhances playability further by letting your fingers glide effortlessly up and down the ebony fingerboard. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned guitarist, you'll appreciate how the Taylor neck design makes playing the Baby Taylor koa a breeze. The compact scale length is ideal for smaller hands, while still allowing intricate fretwork beyond the guitar's 19 frets.
Gig Bag For Safe Travels
Taylor includes a padded gig bag specifically designed for the Baby Taylor model, keeping your guitar protected on the move. The durable exterior and reinforced handles allow easy and secure transport. Interior padding cushions the guitar, while the gig bag's structure prevents damage from bumps and jostling. Wherever your music takes you, bring the Baby Taylor koa along in its protective gig bag.
