Winning tonewood combination





Part of the secret to the Big Baby's success is due to the tonewoods that are used to make it. The body begins with walnut back and sides. Walnut's tone falls between the warmth of rosewood and the ringing quality of maple. Next, a sitka spruce top is joined to the body to provide a balanced midrange and vibrant response to picking. The neck is made of maple with an ebony fingerboard to provide a defined attack. When you put all the tonewoods together, you create an instrument with warm lows and bell-like highs.

Big Baby body shape provides powerful projection





The Big Baby has the largest body shape of all Taylor's small-bodied guitars. It is a 15/16-sized dreadnought that still feels like a miniature guitar. When you hear the Big Baby though, you'll be blown away by the sheer amount of volume it's capable of producing. While fingerpicking, the Big Baby sounds sweet. When you start to hit it with a pick, it comes alive and easily fills the room with its tone. And since it's not full-sized, this guitar is perfect for any player with smaller hands.
