The Baby Taylor has always inspired new and experienced players alike with its compact size and tuneful sound, and this model (BTe Koa) takes the design to the next level with all-Hawaiian-koa construction. The solid top serves up clear, vibrant acoustic tone with koa's distinctive sparkle, while the layered back and sides add a rich visual dimension thanks to koa's beautiful grain. This three-quarter-size acoustic guitar includes ES-B electronics with a handy digital tuner, and includes a lightweight gig bag, making it a perfect option for playing on the couch, jamming around the campfire or practicing on the road.
