Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The Taylor BBTe ships with a lightweight Taylor gig bag included. 

Not exactly. The Big Baby has a slightly smaller Dreadnought-style body with a slimmer four-inch body depth, but it keeps a 25-1/2 inch scale length. That means the body feels more manageable while the neck still feels close to a standard full-size acoustic. 

Yes. The BBTe includes Taylor’s ES-B pickup and preamp system with a built-in digital chromatic tuner. The preamp also includes an LED display, low-battery indication, and Tone and Volume controls. 

The BBTe includes Taylor’s ES-B electronics, which add a pickup, onboard preamp, built-in tuner, and Tone and Volume controls. The BBT is the non-electric version. If you want to plug into an amp or PA, the BBTe is the better fit. 

Torrefied Spruce is spruce that has gone through Taylor’s roasting process. Taylor says the result keeps the clarity, balance, and projection expected from spruce while adding warmth and a more played-in character. 

Yes. Taylor describes the Big Baby as a popular choice for new learners because it has a slightly scaled-down body, narrower depth, and slender neck. The built-in tuner also gives beginners one less accessory to worry about. 

Yes. The BBTe has built-in electronics for plugged-in use. It is an easy plug-and-play acoustic-electric, so it can connect to an acoustic amp or PA with the right cable and setup. 

Layered Walnut means the back and sides use Layered Walnut construction rather than Solid Walnut. This construction is stable and durable, which makes sense for a guitar meant to be easy to carry and use in different settings. 

Yes, if you want something easier to carry than a full-size Dreadnought while still keeping a closer-to-full-size playing feel. The body is more compact, and the included gig bag makes it practical for road trips, lessons, rehearsals, and casual playing away from home. 

It may work well for older kids, teens, or smaller players who want something easier to hold than a full-size acoustic. It is larger than a Baby Taylor and keeps a 25-1/2 inch scale length, so very young players may still be more comfortable with a smaller guitar. 

The BBTe ships with D’Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light strings in a .012-.053 gauge.
