Since its appearance 20 years ago, the Baby Taylor has been a great success. Its mini size Dreadnought was designed for thousands of children. To start on the guitar path with a Baby in their hands. But also to allow adults to have a guitar for real travel, that is, with a professional sound.

However, the guitarists have reinvented it adapting it to their own needs. And have turned it into an instrument with a unique sound with which to record and play live.

The BT1 has the most used wood as a soundboard today. Its mixture of rigidity and elasticity results in a wide dynamic range with a very clear articulation. It adapts to a wide variety of styles of touch.
