Taylor Big Baby Acoustic Guitar Natural

I originally got this guitar for myself about 10 years ago and it's one of my favorites. So I decided to buy my girlfriend's daughter this guitar as an early birthday present and she loves it. It's a full scale guitar but slightly undersized which is perfect for someone of her age.

Gorgeous Taylor sound and feel for a budget price. Very happy.

I bought a Martin as my first "real guitar" and regretted it after I played this Taylor. I didn't like the Fishman electronics so I was kind of disappointed right outta the gate. Then this Taylor made up for it...the action is light years ahead of Martin. LOVE this guitar.

I bought this almost 2 years ago from today. This was my very first guitar that I have ever bought. I have had no teachers or guitar lessons. I used this to learn to play by watching YouTube covers of songs and following their fingers motions and learning chords by looking it up. I was able to get this to sound the same as songs artists used in the video and which helped me learn a lot faster! I tried to learn with a cheaper Yamaha guitar at first but then I returned that guitar because I could not get used to the sound comparison of it when comparing to videos. - Or extra buzzing it made from me learning and it being cheap! This is an amazing beginners guitar and I will definitely look to be buying a higher quality Taylor guitar in the future! If you're looking for a good first guitar you can't go wrong with this! This guitar is 100% worth the price!

I had bought one of these back in 2017 when I made the switch to Acoustic. I don't know why but, I got rid of it so I could make the move tpo the Martin X-Series only because I had always wanted a Martin. To make a long story short, the Martin didn't cut it for me, so last week I made the move back to Taylor and the Big Baby. These newer ones are so beautiful but it's a shame, that Taylor has discontinued them. The Brown headstock along with the Solid Spruce top and Walnut back and sides, have really IMO, improved this model. Once set up properly, it stays in tune and just sounds awesome ! I would say that it is the best Acoustic going today which is under the 500 dollar range. Plus seeing that I'm on a low budget, this was a no-brainer. It's a keeper and I am getting a lot of joy playing it.

I purchased the Big Baby Taylor over a year ago and I am happy every time I play it. I was looking for a guitar that had a vibrant, present tone and that was super playable. Additionally I wanted a smaller body size that would be less stressful on my shoulders without it being as small as a Baby Taylor or GS Mini. This guitar answered every requirement and then some. These days I primarily use it for fingerstyle Celtic music (esp. in DADGAD) and it absolutely shines for that (though it is amazing for any style of music I've used it for). I still can't believe how much sound springs forth from an instrument this small. I can't imagine there's another guitar out there for the price that can do what the Big Baby Taylor does, I haven't played one yet. But to go further, this isn't just a great guitar for the money, it's simply a great guitar. It's just very basic looking, though beautiful in its simplicity, but certainly not a flashy guitar with a lot of bling (or any bling for that matter).
