Overview

Fuller sound in a portable design gives you easy playing.

The Taylor Big Baby acoustic guitar brings the company's acclaimed sound and easy playing feel to a compact, travel-ready instrument. With its slim 4" body depth and 15/16 size, the Big Baby produces impressively full and resonant tone. Its layered walnut back and sides provide warmth and resonance, while the solid Sitka spruce top offers crisp articulation across the tonal spectrum. Despite the small size, the Big Baby's arched back adds projection for big volume and tone. The genuine ebony fingerboard and bridge further enhance the guitar's sound and feel. The Big Baby's slim neck profile provides comfortable playing, while its 20 frets give you room to solo. With Taylor's excellent build quality and use of premium tonewoods, the Big Baby punches above its weight in terms of sound. It comes with a padded gig bag, making the Big Baby the perfect travel companion. Play a Taylor Big Baby and enjoy pro-level Taylor tone and playability in a compact, portable package.

Layered Walnut Back and Sides Provide Warm, Resonant Tone

The layered walnut back and sides of the Taylor Big Baby acoustic guitar give it a warm, rich voice that belies its small size. The multiple thin layers that make up the back and sides produce excellent resonance while remaining strong and stable. Walnut has long been prized by luthiers for its blend of warmth and complexity. Paired with the crisp Sitka spruce top, the walnut back and sides make the Big Baby versatile enough for fingerstyle playing, strumming chords or soloing. The layered build also makes the guitar more resistant to climate changes, an important feature for an instrument designed to travel. Whether composing around a campfire or busking on a city street, the Taylor Big Baby's layered walnut back and sides help it produce full-bodied tone.

Sitka Spruce Top Offers Crisp, Articulate Tone

The solid Sitka spruce top of the Taylor Big Baby guitar gives it the clear, projecting tone that Taylor is known for. Sitka spruce is prized by luthiers for its combination of strength and responsiveness. Its tight grain pattern allows it to vibrate efficiently, translating the energy of the strings into vibrant tone with excellent volume. Sitka spruce offers crisp highs with articulate note separation, adding clarity to both individual notes and chords. This makes it an extremely versatile top wood that pairs well with almost any back and sides material. The solid spruce top gives the Big Baby a lively and resonant voice, while also providing the structural integrity to handle the stresses of travel. Whether you're fingerpicking melodies or strumming open chords, the Sitka spruce top helps the Taylor Big Baby sing.

Slim 4" Body Depth Yields Full Sound

Measuring just 4" deep, the Taylor Big Baby's body is slimmer than a standard dreadnought, making it a pleasure to hold and play. Despite its shallow body, clever engineering such as the arched back allow the Big Baby to produce impressively loud and full tone. While many travel guitars sacrifice projection for portability, the Big Baby's smart design means volume and resonance aren't compromised. Its comfortable, compact body size makes it perfect for younger players and smaller musicians. The Big Baby's slim profile also makes it an excellent couch guitar. Whether practicing new material or composing songs late into the night, the Taylor Big Baby's slim depth helps make playing for hours effortless.

Comes With Padded Gig Bag for Travel Protection

The Taylor Big Baby comes complete with a padded gig bag specially designed for the model, making transportation safe and convenient. The gig bag has ample padding to protect the guitar from bumps and minor impacts. Its snug fit holds the Big Baby securely, while the padded backpack-style straps make carrying comfortable on long journeys. The gig bag's durable exterior resists scuffs and abrasion. An accessory pocket provides storage for picks, strings, tuner and more. From car trips to flights abroad, the included gig bag lets you safely bring your Taylor Big Baby anywhere inspiration strikes. Protect your investment with the custom-fit padded Taylor gig bag.
