Your Go-To Guitar for the Road and the Riff

Don't let the compact size fool you—the Taylor BTe-Koa is a little guitar with a massive personality. This ¾-size Dreadnought packs a surprising amount of punch, making it the ultimate travel companion, a perfect fit for younger players, or just a super comfortable couch guitar for hashing out new ideas. With its stunning all-koa body and plug-and-play electronics, it’s a versatile tool for any musician's collection.

Solid Koa Top—Tone That Just Gets Better

The heart of this Baby Taylor is its solid Hawaiian Koa top. Right out of the box, you get a vibrant, focused tone with a beautiful top-end shimmer. But the real magic of koa is how it opens up over time—the more you play it, the warmer, richer, and sweeter it gets, developing complex overtones that are all your own. Paired with layered koa back and sides, you get a guitar that's as durable and road-ready as it is visually stunning.

Effortless Playability

With a slightly shorter 22-3/4" scale length and a comfortable 1-11/16" neck width, the BTe-Koa is an absolute joy to play. The neck feels fast and familiar, and the shorter scale reduces string tension for a slinky, buttery feel that makes complex chords and bends a breeze. The West African Crelicam Ebony fingerboard is slick and responsive under your fingertips, perfect for long writing sessions or campfire jams.

Stage-Ready Electronics

Ready to plug in? The onboard Taylor ES-B electronics system captures the guitar's natural acoustic voice with clarity and warmth. It combines Taylor's renowned pickup design with a preamp that features a built-in digital chromatic tuner and a 3-band EQ, giving you total control over your sound. Whether you're hitting an open mic or laying down a track, the BTe-Koa is ready to perform.

- In business since 1976! Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

- Old School Customer Service: Nothing is more important than helping a customer even if we don’t make a sale. We believe that if we’re honest with you, and treat you right, you’ll be back. Call us, or chat with us online. We love talking about guitars, and we want to help you find your perfect instrument. Even if it’s not from us.... but we think it will be!

- Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes. A lot of aspects of the guitar are intangible, and a non-player just can’t understand. It’s a guitar thing. But we can talk about tone and feel in the same language you use. We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.

You should have NO disappointments when you see this guitar and hold it for its first strum! Please call the staff at Moore Guitars if you would like to have a personal “on the phone” description of this guitar. Thank you for looking at our listing!
