Review: Taylor Big Baby Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar

This one’s a keeper. The Taylor Big Baby is all Taylor. They didn’t cut any corners when they made this quality guitar. OK,  so it’s not all solid wood, but the top is, and it sounds superb.  Not bad for 450 bucks.

It’s a cut down 15/16 model, so it’s great for players with smaller hands. It sports an ebony fretboard and some pretty cool rosette etching.  The bass notes ring and the treble notes have plenty of punch.  The neck is slim and feels just right.

It’s surprisingly loud for a cut down guitar and weighs almost nothing.

If I had to point out a negative on this guitar, it has no pick-up of any kind, but that’s not really a drawback on an acoustic guitar, is it?  The neck is screwed on, which is kind of weird, but it works.  The sound of the guitar is not negatively affected by it.

If you’re looking for a quality guitar on a budget, you won’t go far wrong with this one.

Buy it.
