Product Description

Big Tone in a Small Package

Don’t let the size fool you. This pre-owned Taylor BT1e Baby Taylor is a serious instrument with a voice that punches way above its weight class. We were immediately impressed by its excellent condition. It’s clear this guitar has been well cared for. The torrefied spruce top gives it a played-in, mature character right out of the box, offering a snappy attack and a surprising amount of volume for a 3/4-size dreadnought.

Travel-Ready, Studio-Worthy

The compact, 22-3/4″ scale length makes this the ultimate travel companion, but it’s more than just a campfire strummer. The layered walnut back and sides provide a sturdy, resilient foundation for the solid top, focusing the tone and making it surprisingly record-friendly. The mahogany neck is smooth and comfortable, with an ebony fretboard that feels fantastic under the fingers. Whether you’re a songwriter looking for an inspiring couch guitar or a traveling musician needing a reliable partner, the BT1e delivers.

Plug In and Play

When you’re ready to hit the stage or the studio, the onboard Taylor ES-B electronics have you covered. This system faithfully translates the guitar’s natural acoustic resonance into a clear, dynamic plugged-in tone. It also includes a built-in digital tuner, so you’re always ready to play, no matter where you are. It’s a simple, effective system that captures the essence of this fantastic little guitar.

Anatomy of a Tone Machine

Perfect for: Folk • Pop • Songwriting • Travel

Tone

Bright and punchy with a strong fundamental note attack, thanks to the torrefied spruce top.
Balanced midrange with a focused character that records exceptionally well.
Responsive to a light touch for fingerstyle, yet holds its own with moderate strumming.
The ES-B electronics provide a natural and clear amplified tone, perfect for open mics or recording.

Playing Feel

Lightweight and incredibly comfortable to hold, making it easy to play for hours.
The shorter 22-3/4" scale length results in lower string tension, making chords and bends feel effortless.
A slim mahogany neck profile that's accommodating for players of all sizes and skill levels.
The smooth ebony fingerboard provides a slick, fast playing surface.

Versatility

Excels at articulate fingerpicking and vocal accompaniment.
The compact size makes it an ideal, inspiring songwriting tool to keep within arm's reach.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

Torrefaction is a special roasting process that ages the wood, giving it the rich, warm, and responsive character of a vintage guitar. You get a broken-in sound from day one, with more dynamic range and clarity.

Absolutely. The smaller body and shorter scale length make it incredibly comfortable and easy to play, which is great for new players. Plus, its quality Taylor construction means it’s an instrument you can grow with for years.

Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.

This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.

Orders ship same day in most cases and arrive within 1-4 business days with free, insured shipping. We’ll get it into your hands as quickly as we can.

Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.

Player-Perfect™ Setups

Every guitar we sell is dialed in by seasoned musicians. We obsess over the details—perfect intonation, immaculate fretwork, and ideal action—so your guitar is ready to rip right out of the case. No exceptions.

Advice From Real Players

Call us and you get a fellow musician, not a script. We'll help you compare neck profiles, talk tone, and find the right guitar for you—even if it's not this one. Our reputation is built on honest conversation.

49+ Years Of Trust

Family-owned since 1976, we stand behind everything we sell. That's why we have a 72-Hour Love-It Guarantee. If you're not inspired, send it back on our dime for a full refund. Your satisfaction is our legacy.
