Here for sale we have a Taylor Baby Taylor BTe-Koa travel guitar in Satin Natural finish. Made in Mexico in 2019, this instrument features a bolt-on construction comprising a Solid Koa top, Layered Koa back & sides, Mahogany neck and 19 fret Ebony fingerboard with matching bridge. A Nubone saddle & nut are fitted, along with a set of Chrome sealed tuning machines. A Taylor ES-B on-board piezo pickup & preamp system are fitted, with shoulder mounted controls for master volume, master tone & an on-board tuner.
The Mahogany neck plays very well, with a rather shallow profile that might be described as a very soft 'V' or 'U' shape. Due to the bolt-on construction of the instrument, the neck heel is much slimmer than it would typically be, offering fantastic access to the upper frets. The open-pore Satin finish to the rear of the neck is pleasant to the touch and adds a tactile sensation to the playing experience. The Ebony fingerboard is a premium feature which adds a sense of luxury to the playing experience. The body is smaller than a typical dreadnought, and remains comfortable and practical in both standing and seated positions.
The acoustic voice of the Taylor BTe-Koa is very impressive for a travel-focussed instrument. The top projects well, delivering plenty of volume and a wide sensitive dynamic range. Whilst smaller than a dreadnought, there is still plenty of bass response and warmth on offer. The Layered Koa back and sides enhance the overall tone with a rich character, and along with the Solid Koa top which delivers ample brightness, the Taylor BTe-Koa is equally at home as a solo strummer or as part of an impromptu ensemble while on your travels.
Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.
