Taylor Baby BT1 Walnut Lefty

The guitar that set the standard for the travel guitar market, the enduringly popular Baby Taylor makes a great musical companion.

Portable, playable, and affordable, the left-handed Baby features a solid spruce top and delivers impressive volume and tone for its compact, three-quarter-length scale. It's the perfect travel companion, a great choice for children taking lessons, and artists from Lindsey Buckingham to Bono to Taylor Swift have used it for songwriting, recording, and performing.

With its unique dimensions and tonal personality, players have used it in other creative ways, from high-stringing it to setting it up to play lap slide to adding a capo to evoke mandolin-like sounds.
