Pros: nice size, good volume
Cons: boxy sound, might wanna check setup.
Summary: well I've had this for about a month. The sound is boxy and with the included elixir strings the sound can become a bit muddled. I'll be trying some silk and steel strings next month to see if that makes a little difference. The action ... read more

Pros: Tone, volume, intonation, action, and great harmonics too.
Cons: Narrow fingerboard, awkwardish to hold.
Summary: I wanted a travel guitar and considered a number of options: Martin Backpacker? - odd shape, and I heard bad reports both in terms of holding the thing as well as its tone; I wondered about an eastern european instrument called a 'Troubador', a ... read more

Pros: Portability, reasonable price, good sound, solid construction.
Cons: Not much bass, doesn't stay in tune all that well.
Summary: Back in 1999, before heading for a month-long trip to Greece (wish I could do that again!), I decided that I would treat myself to a travel guitar. I had in mind a Martin Backpacker, which was pretty much the only one I knew about, but when I got myself ... read more

Cons: Scratchplate option would be good.
Bridge pins not of same quality.

Pros: Best possible bass response in a 3/4 scale guitar
Cons: Inherent design limitations, but they've been dealt with pretty well here
Summary: I have a confession to make—ever since I discovered that Taylor made different versions of the Taylor Baby using different woods, I’ve become slightly obsessed with laying my hands on each one in search of a meaningful bass response. The Taylor ... read more

Pros: Great form factor, not intimidating to kids, fantastic second guitar. Very well built/appointed.
Cons: Not a great chorded sound, less than fabulous appearance, requires light guage strings.
Summary: The Baby Taylor is a great little travel guitar. There are other manufacturers who hope to aspire to the travel guitar market. For example, Martin's Backpacker, Ovation's Travel guitar and a myriad of others. Appearance At first I was underwhelmed ... read more

Pros: Small size, big sound, very affordable
Cons: bolt on neck, not offered with electronics by Taylor, must install own electronics

Cons: small neck, not as loud as expensive dreadnought solid-tops, no pickguard
Summary: I love my baby Taylor. It's just fun to play, which is not something you can say about a lot of cheap guitars. It's got low action, so it's pretty easy to play, and a small, shorter-scale length neck, which makes it easy to get from place to place on ... read more

Pros: Very light and sturdy and great initial response.
Cons: Sounds like a ukulele on further listen next to Martin M.
Summary: Tried this and a Martin M today after I decided to replace my Washburn Rover. The Taylor had a great response when I strummed intially but there was no sustain and it sounded like there was no bass strings when I tried an E or G chord.
