Ready for Anything

The Big Baby Taylor is well loved by guitarists everywhere. It looks good, sounds great, and stands up well to the wear and tear of long sets. The Big Baby Taylor is the largest of Taylor's miniature body designs and is well-suited for the player who wants the sound of a dreadnought without the larger body size. You'll love the feel of the sleek maple neck! In fact, its low action and effortless playability have won it many fans at Sweetwater. The Taylor Big Baby will win you over with its playability then blow you away with its stunning acoustic tone.

Winning tonewood combination

Part of the secret to the Big Baby's success is due to the tonewoods that are used to make it. The body begins with walnut back and sides. Walnut's tone falls between the warmth of rosewood and the ringing quality of maple. Next, a sitka spruce top is joined to the body to provide a balanced midrange and vibrant response to picking. The neck is made of maple with an ebony fingerboard to provide a defined attack. When you put all the tonewoods together, you create an instrument with warm lows and bell-like highs.

Big Baby body shape provides powerful projection

The Big Baby has the largest body shape of all Taylor's small-bodied guitars. It is a 15/16-sized dreadnought that still feels like a miniature guitar. When you hear the Big Baby though, you'll be blown away by the sheer amount of volume it's capable of producing. While fingerpicking, the Big Baby sounds sweet. When you start to hit it with a pick, it comes alive and easily fills the room with its tone. And since it's not full-sized, this guitar is perfect for any player with smaller hands.

Taylor Big Baby Walnut Acoustic Guitar Features:

  • Miniature size is comfortable to play for long sets
  • Sitka spruce top adds note definition and responds well under picking
  • Walnut back and sides create warm sound and look great
  • Maple neck and ebony fingerboard feel great in your hands
  • Includes Taylor gig bag

Outstanding

This guitar is by the far the best in my collection. Not only is it beautiful, but it also sounds amazing. Very low action , which I prefer, and a big, rich sound. I'm so glad I bought it! Shipping was quick, and the guitar was well- packaged.

Very nice guitar

I bought this guitar for something to play on my deck and to give my grandson someday ( he's 4 months old). I'm 56 and my hands don't work so well these days, and this guitar can almost play itself. When it arrived, it looked like a toy. I thought, I'm going to return it. I tuned it up and played it. Wow, just……. Wow. I own Many guitars. Martin, fender, ovation, …. This is a nice, easy guitar to play. A very good buy, and the third positive experience buying a guitar from Sweetwater

Rated 5/5

I’m impressed!

Light weight, absolutely beautiful and the quality is immaculate. Thank you Taylor! The action is perfect for playability and it sounds great. I count on the 55 point inspection that Sweetwater guarantees when I buy their products so you didn't fail me with this purchase either. Thanks for the call after my order Alan. Looking forward to some Eagles, James Taylor and Neil Diamond songs on this Baby BBT. Only those who have dealt with this store out of Fort Wayne can relate to this review. Just hope FedEx doesn't blow it for Sweetwaters great service. Thanks again to all at Sweetwater. And keep that candy coming, I have a sweet tooth. Feel free to refer me if your customers have any doubts about service or quality.

I'm so happy I got this one !

I just got this in today and I ended up having wait a few days for it, because of a delay with Fedex . It was now that I look at it, well worth the wait. This brings back a lot of memories because back in 2017 when I made the switch from Electric to Acoustic, this model was the 1st Acoustic I had bought. Back then the headstocks were Black and I think the back and sides were I won't say Black, but they were pretty dark. I used a Seymour Duncan Acoustic clip on along with a Fishman Loudbox mini for my solo gigs. I don't know why Taylor discontinued this model because these new versions are IMO, much better in tone and especially looks. I like the brown headstock along with the Walnut back and sides, which give it a much brighter tone than what the older models had. This one stays in tune forever and for a slightly thinner body, can really project that Taylor tone in spades. The gigbag is top notch and the fact that it already came setup , is a huge plus in my book. Plus at my age (63) , the neck on this is much easier for me to play on. All in all, I'm going to be making a lot of great memories with this guitar.
