The acoustic-electric sweet spot between a full-size guitar and the Baby Taylor.
The Taylor Big Baby, Baby Taylor's scaled-up sibling, makes a sleek yet full-sounding travel companion with its svelte 4" body depth, which is about a half-inch shallower than the depth of a standard dreadnought. Slightly bigger than a Baby Taylor and just shy of a full-size guitar, the Big Baby Taylor is ideal for easy-playing, great-sounding guitar, with an overall size that keeps you in the portable category, but with an extra dose of volume and fullness.
Like the Baby, the Big Baby has an arched back that provides strength and contributes to its big tonal output. A Sitka spruce top blends stiffness and elasticity in just the right proportions which translates into broad dynamic range with crisp articulation. Layered walnut back and sides create a sturdy yet receptive platform for the vibrating string energy sent by the guitar's top. A layered construction is also less susceptible to changes in temperature and humidity, making it an excellent choice for players who travel with their instruments or simply require more durability.
This Big Baby model is also equipped with Taylor's ES-B system, which incorporates piezo design elements from the flagship Taylor ES2 system. Powered by a 9V battery, its onboard preamp includes a built-in digital chromatic tuner, an LED display for tuning and low battery indication and a tone-sculpting 3-band EQ. All Big Baby Taylor models ship with a durable travel-worthy gig bag for optimal fit and protection.
