Taylor Guitars Big Baby Taylor, BBT, Natural

I bought one of these two years ago from a local dealer and paid about $100.00 less. That said, it has very good tone and its smaller size lets you wrap yourself around it and really feel in control- Mine was well-made and sounds as good as acoustics costing a lot, lot more. I've shown it to professionals who were impressed with its quality and sound. Definitely a good choice not only for a beginner but for more advanced players, as well.

I have been playing acoustic guitar for years and have played/owned quite a few top of the line guitars. Still, I was pleasantly surprised to find the Big Baby Taylor extremely enjoyable to play. It has great tone, volume and clarity. The Taylor neck gives this Baby a nice, more expensive feel. It has a smaller, more intimate size but it is large enough to do the job on stage or studio. It is a great guitar for a beginner (much better than many other "starter" guitars) but there are a number of folks (even professionals) who use this guitar in live performances and in the studio. If you close your eyes and listen, you might not be able to tell it from much more expensive guitars.

I like the gig bag and take the BBT most anywhere I travel (even if it is just to the local office).

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reasonably priced, quality starter instrument or an experienced player looking for a great traveling companion or additional guitar...Read more

I purchased a Big Baby several weeks ago and now believe this guitar is an either an anomaly, a mistake or a social experiment by Taylor. I cannot figure out how a $400 guitar could sound this amazing or play this incredibly. It easily sounds as good as some $1500-$2500 guitars I have played, only lighter and more comfortable! Just an amazing instrument, overall. I have had a very difficult time putting it down.

I did extensive research before I purchased this instrument, carefully comparing many guitars. The Taylor guitars emerged, without question, as some of the warmest, most resonant and playable acoustic guitars in any category. The 200 series was out of my price range and the 100 series is essentially made from the same materials as the Big Baby. The price difference allowed me to also get a nice molded case and sound hole pickup and I have a very versatile guitar for everything from song writing to recording to camp fire strumming and late night, living room jam...Read more
