BTe Koa
The Baby Taylor has always inspired new and experienced players alike with its compact size and tuneful sound, and this model (BTe Koa) takes the design to the next level with all-Hawaiian-koa construction. The solid top serves up clear, vibrant acoustic tone with koa's distinctive sparkle, while the layered back and sides add a rich visual dimension thanks to koa's beautiful grain. This three-quarter-size acoustic guitar includes ES-B electronics with a handy digital tuner, and includes a lightweight gig bag, making it a perfect option for playing on the couch, jamming around the campfire or practicing on the road.

Beautiful gem of a guitar
I am so in love with this little guitar. I have steered away from Taylor in the past because I prefer warmer sounds to my guitars, but due to physical limitations I recently started my search for a small guitar - and this gem captured me from the moment I played it. Beautiful work, I am so excited!

Very playable, lovely sounding
Really nice guitar. Picked up for a sailing trip. Tried about four different Baby Taylor’s in the shop and likes this one for its balance or bass and treble, worth the extra IMO.
Wish it came with a had case for international travel, but there are expensive hard cases online.
Overall love it. By bro-in-law played it recently and he’s about 6’4” with big hands and thought it was the most playable guitar I own, it’s his fave (have Breedlove and another Jumbo).

So fun to play and sounds great!
I don't know why, but I find myself picking up this little guy MORE often than either of my 314-CE's. It's just a blast to play and the short scale keeps me noodling around with chords rather than taking off into lead guitar land (sometimes).
Absolutely love this beautiful guitar.
Horrible Workmanship
Horrendous workmanship on my latest purchase, the BTe Koa. Wood fraying on the inside and the truss rod clicking horrifically loud when playing.
Sent it back for repairs (or a refund if they can’t fix it!) and purchased a Martin LX1e.
