Bringing together design features of the classic model like the 3:4 scale size and piezo-based Expression System Baby (ESB) electronics and a solid koa top with layered koa backs and sides, the Taylor Baby Taylor Koa Acoustic Guitar takes a miniaturized classic and gives it an exotic makeover. Known as a lightweight and resonant tonewood that stood as the choice for ukuleles during the Hawaiian craze in the 20th century, luthiers have since recognized koa for its crispness, clarity, and warmth. This 3:4 size iteration makes for a great travel instrument and is an ideal entryway for younger students who have trouble on larger guitars.
