Between the Baby Taylor and a full-size acoustic sits the Big Baby Taylor, a 15/16th-size guitar that students and seasoned players come back to year after year. The Big Baby Taylor acoustic-electric is compact and portable but with such a slight size difference that it still packs plenty of volume and power. Tone is classic and pure thanks to a solid Sitka spruce top, layered walnut back and sides, and a dreadnought body shape. Plus, the Big Baby Taylor packs onboard ESB electronics for easy plugging in and recording. Whether you’re a beginner looking for a slightly fun-sized Taylor or a pro in need of a backup, Sweetwater guitarists can’t say enough good things about the Big Baby Taylor.

Premium tonewoods





Premium tone requires excellent wood, and that’s why the Big Baby Taylor features a Sitka spruce top. This high-quality tonewood often appears on much pricier guitars and is part of what makes a Taylor sound like a Taylor. Sitka spruce’s light weight and tonal qualities help notes ring true with balance and sustain. The Big Baby Taylor also features a sturdy maple neck, an ebony fingerboard, and layered walnut back and sides that focus your sound with bold definition.

Different feel, same sound





Coming in at 15/16 the size of a standard dreadnought, the Big Baby Taylor is small enough to feel different yet it looks and sounds nearly identical to a full-sized dreadnought. Its slim, comfortable profile makes the Big Baby the perfect option for beginners or those who find the Baby Taylor or a GS Mini a bit too small for their needs.





Plug in anytime





The onboard Taylor ES-B electronics let you plug in Big Baby Taylor at a moment’s notice. The ES-B system is one of the most natural and warm-sounding acoustic-electric designs on the market because it’s based on elements of Taylor's acclaimed Expression System 2. ES-B’s separate EQ and volume sliders allow you to tweak your sound to perfection, and an onboard tuner ensures pitch-perfect performances every time.
