Looking for that big, Taylor Dreadnought sound, but in a slightly smaller, portable package, at an excellent price? Then this Taylor BBTe Electro Acoustic Guitar could well be for you! With its on-board pickup and preamp offering an easy plug and play experience, and its top notch design resulting in a full-bodied sound, regardless of how compact it is, this Big Baby is an excellent option as an entry-level Taylor.
As with previous models in the lineup, the Taylor BBTe features the biggest of the company's "small-body" guitars, with it being a Dreadnought shape at roughly 15/16 scale. This results in a guitar that sits comfortably within the "portable" category, whilst at the same time featuring a powerful and resonant voice - making it perfect for the musician on the go.
Complimenting the woods used in this guitar's construction is a Taylor ES-B electronics system, allowing you to plug into any amplifier or mixing desk - ideal for live performances and studio recording. The ES-B system incorporates Taylor's critically acclaimed ES-2 piezo design elements, along with an on-board preamp and a built-in digital chromatic tuner, and even automatically switches itself off after 3 minutes without using it to save your battery.
Taylor BBTe Electro Acoustic Guitar Main Features...
- High-quality, affordable electro acoustic guitar
- "Big Baby" body shape is just shy of a full-size guitar
- Sitka Spruce top with Layered Walnut back and sides
- X-Bracing system offers a combination of stability and resonance for the top piece
- Non-cutaway design results in a clean, symmetrical look
- ES-B electronics system with built-in digital tuner
- Includes a sturdy Taylor gig bag

This is guitar I actually recommend forever anyone. I just got mine today, and I can't stop playing it.

6:30 when I first heard the transition from mic to pickup, I didn't believe it. The pickup sounded too full. I assumed it was an editing error. Then last night at band rehearsal, our guitarist switched from his electric guitar to a Taylor for a song. It sounded just as amazing (tip: he used a sound hole cover to prevent feedback at band volume). Great demo and great playing, Meg. Subscribed.

My wife got me one of these nearly 20 years ago to replace my first starter guitar. The Big Baby sounds more expensive than it is and I still play it everyday. I've put many different strings on it to get different sounds and playability. It's so light and easy to play. Keeps tune very well through the seasons. My old one sounds just as good as this new one. The neck is narrow. 1.69 nut width. I still have to get used to wider necks after playing the Big Baby for so long.

If you're just beginning do yourself justice and get the Big Baby Taylor. Seriously the best all around starter guitar. I say starter but don't let that fool you . I've played for years and can't put it down . If you got small hands even better you can play this .

I think most guitarists fall into two camps: those who love a crisp and bright sound or those who love a deeper warmer tone. If you fall into the former camp, you’re going to love the Big Baby. I got my big baby two weeks ago and love it. Despite being smaller than a full size dreadnought, it is quite loud. It honestly sounds better than some of the thousand dollar Taylors. You’d have to get a $2,500+ Taylor to get a better sounding guitar IMO.

Got this guitars (BBTe) 3 days ago, tested everything I could test on the shop. Back in home I played a few chords and I noticed some "clicking/craking" wood noise coming from the joint body/neck. Every now and then I heard this sound and it really scared me it will break at any minute. If I knew this was an issue I would not have purchased this thing at all. I have an old (over 25 years) classical fender guitar (a really budget model) which have never give me a single issue. it stay tune like a champion and plays wonderfull. Im already talking to a Taylor representative, he told me to tight the neck screws (which I could not move a single bit) and/or take it to the dealer shop and/or to the support custome shop in my country. This has been a really bad experience,with such an expensive guitar (u$ 599 + import and internal taxes). I would probably not get a Taylor never again. I had five guitars including this one) in my life, first one was a trashy-broken classical one, then my parents got me a trashy electrical one, after that I got my current Fender CG-11e, after that I got a wonderfull Cort CR 200, which sounds like a real Gibson for a fraction of the money (not me saying it, musician friends with Gibsons). None of them gave me any trouble. Not even the first broken (classical) one which I rescued from my uncle house and "fixed" it the best I could to be able to play it.
