Taylor Big Baby Taylor BBT Walnut

The Taylor Big Baby Taylor BBT Walnut at a glance.

Excellently equipped for on-the-go use, the Big Baby Taylor BBT offers a comprehensive sound experience that is impressive despite its smaller size. This is helped by the flat dreadnought construction with a slightly arched back, which gives the tone a rich note. Meanwhile, the solid walnut top provides extra thrust and distinct midrange frequencies, making the instrument suitable for both strumming and Pickings. Laminated walnut back and sides further complement the character with warm basses and provide a tremendous soundstage. The flat maple neck is equipped with an ebony fingerboard, which is extremely easy to use. Therefore, all 20 frets can be reached comfortably and the 6 steel strings can be picked in all pitches. The discreet dot inlays serve as orientation. In-house chrome-plated die-cast tuners are inserted into the headstock, which bring the guitar precisely into tune. The compensated saddle made of Micarta and the 43 mm wide Nubone nut guarantee clean intonation over the entire scale length of 648 mm. Visually, the acoustic guitar is rounded out by the gauzy matte finish, which provides an unobstructed view of the exciting texture of the grain. The scope of delivery includes a robust bag.

Taylor - The epitome of fine quality

As one of the largest guitar manufacturers, Taylor is truly an authority in the production of first-class instruments. Thus, professional manufacturing by skilled craftsmen results in the very finest products for life, whose value is always maintained - or even increased! This is due in equal part to exquisite tonewoods, which do not warp due to long storage and selected quality and as a result can hardly be surpassed in terms of high quality. Only spruce, mahogany, cedar or Koa of proven quality are used for the tops. By the way, careful production in combination with the best materials does not only apply to guitars. Guitar bags and all accessories are also of first-class quality. Finally, a conscientious final inspection does not let even the smallest defects pass and ensures absolutely flawless guitars even before shipment.

And that's not all: Taylor also attaches great importance to environmentally conscious actions.

Ebony & Koa: Sustainability at Taylor Guitars

Uncontrolled clearing of forests and overexploitation lead to massively endangered wood species, which can no longer regenerate due to the high pace of mining. These include ebony and koa in particular, whose dwindling stocks and the resulting ecological problems have prompted a rethink at Taylor Guitars.

Siglo Tonewoods Project

Koa acacia populations have also suffered severe losses over the last 20 years. Unsustainable forestry as well as overexploitation led to a decline that can only be stopped by proactive action and reforestation. Therefore, Taylor Guitars together with Pacific Rim Tonewoods founded the Siglo Tonewoods project, which aims to rebuild the Hawaiian virgin forest. This is a large cultivation area for koa acacia and other species, which allows the use of koa wood on a controlled scale.
