The 2012 Baby Taylor Acoustic Guitar gives you sweet, full voice and open tone from an ultraportable 3/4-scale instrument. A solid Sitka spruce top, sapele arched back and sides, ebony bridge and fretboard, and laser-etched rosette look great and add crisp projection.
I do not like to slam any guitar maker or product. And in as much as I have enjoyed playing my baby Taylor. In all my years of playing and owning dozens of guitars I have had only one guitar, my Baby Taylor which repeatedly came apart. The first time body came apart from the sides. Taylor determined it was a defect it was insufficiently glued and not user issue. Hey replaced the body. The next Baby Taylor?s top came apart at the glue seam from the bridge to the back of the guitar. Upon examining it I realized that it was not properly glued there was almost no glue in the seam. Taylor determined that the guitar was not kept in a room with at least 40% humidity and told me the issue was low humidity. I tried to explain that it is stored in a humidified house with multiple other instruments some from the 1920s on to recent and multiple brands and the only guitar affected was the Taylor. The gentleman in the Warranty Department asked me for two hundred dollars for a new body. I asked if they would repair it and was told ?it is not worth repairing? we just replace the body? at your cost. I tried to reason with them and asked them to look at the seam but they would not budge. I think Taylor does a great job of advertizing and promoting its instruments they look good and both my Baby Taylors sounded good although the intonation was never quite right. In my opinion they do not stand up and Taylor does not stand behind their guitars, unless of course you are a high profile artist. I can not imagine how they can consider this a travel guitar when the seams come apart so readily. I do not know how the other models are made but I would never buy another Baby Taylor and after my experience with the customer service I would never buy any Taylor.
I went to my local GC a month ago and in the acoustic room, overheard a guy playing a mini-guitar. I thought it was neat and sounded great! I imagined how I could play it everywhere.... on the couch, riding in the car, at the beach, etc etc. The guy was talking to the employee and I overheard the price. For a Taylor? The guy kept playing it and I wanted him to put it down, as I learned it was the last one left in the store. Long story short, he put it down and left... I bought it after playing and falling in love with it. The employee told my wife that out of all my guitars, it would be the one she would be seeing the most of. He was right. I play it all the time and love it. Sure, I have a full-sized D16GT Martin but this baby Taylor is FUN!! The sound is great, its durable, stays in tune and if you have kids, a great idea! REEAALLY happy with this guitar.
