The Ultimate Travel-Sized Taylor

Meet the guitar that put travel-sized acoustics on the map: the Taylor BT1 Baby Taylor. This isn't just a scaled-down guitar; it's a bona fide Taylor, engineered to deliver a surprising amount of tonal punch and clarity in a compact, ¾-size Dreadnought body. Whether you're a seasoned player looking for a reliable road companion, a new learner needing a comfortable starting point, or just someone who loves the couch-friendly size, the Baby Taylor is an absolute classic for a reason.

Solid Top, Serious Tone

The magic starts with the solid Sitka spruce top. Unlike laminate tops, this solid wood top vibrates with a freedom that produces impressive volume, crisp articulation, and a dynamic response that rewards a lighter touch. It’s the engine that gives the BT1 its grown-up voice, making it a fantastic tool for songwriting, practice, or impromptu jam sessions. Paired with layered walnut back and sides, you get a durable, climate-resilient body that still looks fantastic.

Effortless Playability

The shorter 22-3/4" scale length makes this guitar an absolute joy to play. It reduces string tension, which means fretting chords and bending notes feel buttery and effortless. It's perfect for younger players or anyone with smaller hands. The slim Tropical Mahogany neck is pure Taylor, offering a comfortable profile that feels instantly familiar and invites you to play for hours. To top it off, the genuine West African Crelicam Ebony fingerboard provides a smooth, durable playing surface that's a staple of much more expensive instruments.

- 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!
