Description
The Big Baby Taylor has long been a popular choice for new learners and experienced players alike thanks to its combination of punchy tone and portability. A slightly scaled-down Dreadnought body with a narrower depth provides an accommodating feel whether you play seated or standing, and the slender neck offers comfortable fretting regardless of your skill level. With a solid spruce top for projection and built-in electronics with a digital tuner, the Big Baby Taylor is a great option for practice, travel, lessons and more. It ships with a lightweight gig bag.
Key Features
- Big Baby shape – The biggest of Taylors small bodies, the Big Baby is just shy of a full-size guitar.
- Sitka Spruce Top – The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.
- Layered Walnut – Rich brown hues lend a pleasing aesthetic warmth to the guitars that showcase it.
ES-B
Incorporating the same acoustic guitar pickup design of the Taylor ES2 system which utilises 3 piezo transducers optimally positioned behind the saddle for a fuller and more natural tone, the ES-B additionally includes a built-in 3-band preamplifier and built-in digital tuner. This gives even more flexibility to a already near perfect pickup system.
