Product Description
Inspired by memories of writing songs on her own Baby Taylor, Taylor Swift collaborated with Taylor Guitars to design the Taylor Swift Baby Taylor (TSBT). Based on our compact 3/4-scale Dreadnought, the TSBT is crafted from a resilient sapele laminate body with a solid Sitka spruce top. Swift's custom, screen-printed rosette design features the word "Love" three times among a delicate vine motif. The personalized design also features the title of her album Fearless inscribed along with her signature above the bridge. With a slim 1 11/16-inch neck and a compact shape, the guitar is just right for a young player's hands and anyone who likes to pick up and play on the go. TSBT comes with a gig bag.

Best travel guitar avaliable, and a fine guitar as well. February 5, 2010

I have several Taylor guitars, and have owned a Big Baby for several years. I own several travel guitars (including the Martin) and the Taylor is the only one that sounds like a real guitar. Another reviewer suggests her Taylor doesn't stay in tune, but also mentions it was damaged in transit. My Big Baby is used for Youth Group bible study and has sat out on a stand for years and I can say it rarely needs retuning unless it's played a lot and hard. Then again, I maintain a consistent relative humidity in my house. Bottom line, it's a quality though relatively inexpensive instrument. You're not going to find anything any better in this price range. Like any wood instrument it will be impacted by changes in temperature and humidity.
How small is it? Well, it's smallish, yet very playable. If the person playing it is on the smaller side it is a perfect size. Far better than trying to play my Taylor full-size dreadnought.
As far as the Swift commemorative design, that is a matter of taste. The regular Baby Taylor is a bit boring looking, as all of the effort was put into making a quality product as inexpensive as possible. I personally think the Swift looks nice. And if Swift's meteoric rise in popularity doesn't go to her head, this model may be desirable some day. I suspect a high-end Swift commemorative may follow.

I've had this guitar for a couple of weeks. My first impression is that it is cheaply made, but still pretty sturdy. The tone is ok for such small guitar and the gig bag and size are great for throwing it in the car for a quick trip. Overall, its not a bad guitar, the neck is smooth and easy to play, and it's plenty loud for campfires. But, for some reason I just can't seem to keep it in tune. I tune it up and the next day, its out of tune again. If I play for an hour, its out of tune already. So, mainly for that reason, and it came to me damaged in shipment, I am going to return it and continue on my search for a quality guitar that I can travel with as well. I hate to return it because I'm a huge taylor fan, as I have 3-4 Taylors and I wanted to remain loyal to my brand, but in this case, I'm going to have to pass. I may try to get an older USA made one to see if that makes a difference. But, I still recommend this guitar to y'all if you don't mind tuning it up more often. :-)
High quality guitar February 2, 2010

This is a beautiful high quality guitar that I purchased for my daughter because of her love for Taylor Swift. The Taylor Swift signature and logo have been beautifully added. My daugher's guitar teacher is a seasoned professional and he is very impressed with the quality of sound from this small guitar. The size is perfect for a young person just starting in music, it is easily handled and her arms fit easily around it. It comes with a great case that is light weight and easy to carry. I would definitely recommend this guitar to anyone interested in purchasing a guitar for a child and it is also good for adults that want a small guitar to play while riding in a vehicle or while in some other small space.

Taylor Guitars did a really nice job on Taylor Swift's first signature model and the sound is really articulate for such a small guitar and would recommend highly and really like the fact that it has a solid spruce top and will get better as the guitar ages...Always wobndered why there where so many fans of the baby taylor line but this guitar can give you the sound of a dreadnought but in a much smaller size...like the fact it has an ebony fretboard and the silk screen rosette looks really good on the guitar and recommend this guitar for everyone..
