Baby Taylor (BT1) – Torrefied Spruce Travel Guitar

Description

The Baby Taylor BT1 is the travel guitar that became a legend. Compact, tough, and beautifully voiced, it delivers the punch, clarity, and warmth you’d expect from a full-size Taylor — just in a ¾-size body you can take anywhere. With a torrefied spruce top for that “broken-in” sweetness and layered walnut back and sides for durability, this little dreadnought is the perfect blend of portability and real acoustic tone.

If you want a travel guitar that actually sounds like a guitar, not a toy, this is the one. Ideal for songwriting, road trips, couch sessions, and younger players who need a comfortable first instrument.

What It Does

The BT1 gives you a lively, balanced tone that’s shockingly big for its size. Torrefied spruce adds warmth and responsiveness, while the compact body makes it easy to pick up, play, and bring anywhere without stress. It’s lightweight, rugged, and comes with a gig bag so you’re ready to roll.
