Whoa, Baby Taylor...

[Clover]

I walked into my local pawn shop and spied a 2011 MIM Baby in spotless condition. Not expecting much from the little munchkin, I picked it up.

I was floored. It was one of the best sounding and playing guitars I'd ever had the pleasure to acquaint. I laid down the $xxx.00 asked for and walked out with my prize. I felt like a thief.

The little beast sits tonally between my Taylor 410 and Gibson J-45. It's got both bark and thunk. It's an amazing instrument.

I don't know who made the tuners, but lord...they can stand a huge string beating before they up the ship.

I thank the poor unfortunate soul who didn't understand what a treasure (he/she) had. This little guitar is Heaven to me  .

I have my '99 BT that has been everywhere with me/the family.  A superb little guit that gives up little despite its diminutive size.  Once one gets past the tight fingering on a slender board, one realizes how cool they sound and how well they play.  One thing I noticed, though, is check the intonation: many I've seen (as was mine) were not intonated well ...even some current ones.  Still, it's an easy fix for a guitar tech (and free if you're the orig buyer).  Congrats on your BT ...it'll only get better with age

OH, and BTW, welcome to the board!

Weird, though the intonation is not the best, it's hardly noticeable. The Baby still rocks!!

From the load of other Taylors you have I believe you speak speak the truth of the Baby

Yes, I'm being honest. I pull that thing out of it's case and it's still fun to play. It was my first Taylor and was a surprise gift from my husband. It's responsible for my love of Taylors.

Kudos to your hubby, he's a wise man. He probably plays guitar and wanted to get you in on the love

Actually no, he doesn't play, but is a wise man and a very supportive husband. He appreciates my music and is my biggest fan. He also surprised me with a GS Mini last year and agreed to my ordering a 512ce about 2 1/2 weeks ago. So, I am a very lucky gal. He's lucky too,  to have me

Good for you and your love  We should all be so lucky to have  such a sweet relationship
