Overview
Players who want a small, easy guitar that still looks dressed up get a compact Taylor with a sunburst spruce top and layered Indian rosewood. Onboard ES-B electronics with a piezo element handle amplified playing, and chrome hardware and a firestripe guard plate add vintage style.
Portability with stage ready electronics is why to buy it, a small body that plays comfortably anywhere. The rosewood is layered rather than single piece, and the listing does not mention a gig bag or case.
Who it's for
Couch players, travelers and singer songwriters doing small gigs will enjoy the size and electronics. Players wanting full-size volume or non-laminated back and sides should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Compact, comfortable body
- Onboard ES-B electronics
- Ebony fingerboard and bridge
- Vintage style trim
- Layered rosewood back and sides
- Case not listed
- Less volume than full size
Performance notes
A spruce top over layered rosewood gives a clear voice with some warmth, and layered wood resists humidity swings. The piezo element under the saddle feeds the ES-B preamp for plugged in tone. Small body size limits bass and volume.
