n A ¾-scale Dreadnought, the Baby Taylor is designed to yield a ton of volume for its small size A layered sapele back is pressed into a slight arch, providing strength and helping produce the Baby’s full, rich tone.

It’s also remarkably versatile for special applications, whether played in alternate tunings or high-strung; with a capo or a slide And it’s the perfect travel companion or starter guitar for young kids.

n Taylor’s ¾-size mini-Dreadnought helped spawn the travel guitar market with a well-crafted design that blends musicality and playability Its small size also makes it a great starter guitar for kids and an ultra-compact songwriting guitar, and adds a unique acoustic flavor to a music mix.

n Sitka Spruce n Origin: Northwestern North America (Coastal Rainforests of Alaska and Canada) n As a guitar soundboard, or top, Sitka spruce is the tonewood standard of the modern era It’s used on 85-90 percent of the guitars that Taylor makes.

Its combination of strength and elasticity translates into a broad dynamic range, yielding crisp articulation and allowing for everything from aggressive strumming and flatpicking to fingerpicking Sitka spruce is Bob Taylor’s personal favorite for an all-around great guitar.

n Layered Walnut n We use layered woods for the back and sides of some of our guitars for their blend of sound quality, durability, and affordability Layered wood construction also enables us to preserve tonewood resources.

Although layered wood guitars won’t yield quite the same level of tonal complexity as an all-solid guitar, all are paired with a solid wood top to produce a rich, responsive voice that will continue to improve with time and extended play Layered walnut provides a strong backbone for our 100 Series, adding subtle touches of high-end sparkle together with midrange presence.

An outer layer of walnut is overlaid onto a poplar core (with a layer of sapele on the other side) The layering process also allows us to bend an arch into the back for extra strength and produces a durable that travels well.
