Taylor BT1e Acoustic Electric Guitar

Big Tone in a Compact Body – The Taylor BT1e Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Baby Taylor helped launch an entire category of three-quarter-scale and travel-size acoustic guitars, and the original remains the standard for those seeking a portable instrument that can still produce rich acoustic tone. This model (BT1e) sports a solid spruce top that produces a punchy, clear tone that’s perfect for solo practice sessions, working through songwriting ideas or even playing with friends. On-board ES-B electronics make it easy to plug in and play through an amp, and the slender, comfortable neck design provides a smooth feel for your fretting hand. Baby Taylor models ship with a lightweight gig bag.
