The Taylor BBT Big Baby Acoustic Guitar is the slightly larger sibling of the renowned Baby Taylor series, designed to deliver a comfortable playing experience in a compact, 15/16-scale Dreadnought body. This guitar features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with layered walnut back and sides, combining to produce a surprisingly full and resonant voice that defies its modest size.
The Taylor BBT Big Baby's Sitka spruce top plays a key role in its sound- Known for its exceptional tonal clarity and dynamic range, Sitka spruce sets the stage for a versatile and dynamic acoustic guitar. The layered walnut back and sides not only contribute to the guitar's aesthetic appeal but also enhance the overall tonal warmth, making for a well-balanced sound that suits a variety of playing styles.
The neck of the BBT is constructed from Hard Rock Maple, a choice renowned for its stability and durability. This ensures optimal playability and a neck that stands the test of time, delivering a consistently comfortable feel. The ebony fingerboard, adorned with Italian Acrylic Dot inlays, aids in easy navigation across the frets.
Designed with the player in mind, the Big Baby body shape strikes a balance between comfort and projection, a feature that Taylor has mastered. Its 15/16-scale Dreadnought design ensures a comfortable playing experience without compromising on the rich, full-bodied sound that defines Taylor guitars. The X-bracing pattern further contributes to the guitar's resonance and structural integrity, allowing the Sitka spruce top to vibrate freely and produce a robust, articulate tone.
Equipped with Die-cast Chrome tuning machines, the BBT ensures precise and stable tuning, allowing players to focus on playing without the worry of constant adjustments. The NuBone nut, with a width of 1.6875 inches, enhances sustain and resonance while providing a consistent and buzz-free performance. The Micarta saddle further contributes to the guitar's overall tonal clarity and sustain.
A satin natural finish not only showcases the natural beauty of the wood but also allows it to breathe and age gracefully over time. For the musician on the move, the Taylor BBT comes complete with a lightweight gig bag.
