The Baby Taylor Series
The Baby Taylor is the ultimate travel companion, delivering
volume and tone that surprise for its diminutive dimensions. At
three-quarters 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.
Tropical American Mahogany Top
Mahogany is supple enough to make excellent, responsive bodies,
yet sufficiently strong and stable to use in necks. Mahogany
produces a bright, clear tone, with a unique balance that yields
an expressive dynamic range in response to even the lightest
touch. This makes Taylor's 500 Series guitars especially popular
with fingerstyle guitarists and blues players, and it gives this
particular Baby Taylor great looks and a more pronounced
mid-range.
Sapele Laminate Back/Sides
This exceptional, mahogany-like wood grows throughout the
tropical rain forests of Nigeria and the Ivory Coast of Africa.
Ever since we introduced it in 1998, its legion of fans has grown
exponentially. As a tonewood, it's denser and harder than
mahogany, so it has a crisper, clearer, brighter, "pop"-ier sound
than its more familiar counterpart. Loud and robust, with a
lovely ribd grain, sapele has been used by Spanish guitar
makers for many years.
Dreadnought Body Shape
The original Dreadnought acoustic guitar appeared early in the
20th Century, and its no-frills, no-nonsense shape made it a
logical namesake of the huge battleships of that day. Most
subsequent Dreadnoughts, including Taylor's, have been derivative
of that early design. In 1997, however, Bob Taylor re-designed
the Taylor Dreadnought by softening the curves at the top and
bottom and generally refining its overall shape. In 2003,
gloss-finish Dreadnoughts also underwent bracing refinements that
substantially increased their overall volume and bass response,
without sacrificing Taylor's signature balance and clarity.
Dreadnought six-strings shine as "plectrum" or "rhythm" guitars
because they respond well to flatpicking or light-to-heavy
strumming.
Varnish Finish
A durable varnish finish offers protection, good looks, and a
smooth feel to the touch. The spruce top's beauty shines right
through.
