Taylor BT1 Baby Taylor – Natural – Used Very Good
The Baby Taylor is the guitar that helped launch the travel guitar category, and one of the most thoughtfully built compact guitars at any price point. The solid Sitka spruce top is the key spec that sets the BT1 apart from the sea of laminate travel guitars — solid wood projects, resonates, and develops in a way that pressed wood simply cannot. Layered walnut back and sides provide warmth and stability, the ebony fingerboard and bridge are premium touches at this size, and the mahogany neck with 22-3/4-inch scale is comfortable for players of all hand sizes. A genuinely versatile instrument — first guitar for a beginner, travel companion, songwriting tool — the BT1 earns its reputation by simply doing what it is supposed to do and doing it well.
This one is only a few years old and in very good shape — no fret wear and some minor wear throughout with a few dents/dings on the top and sides consistent with regular play. Ready to play and go anywhere (case/bag not included).
