Well, i'm sure this has been covered ad naseum in this forum, but it's new for me. Walked into my favorite Taylor dealer the other day to buy a slide (got this bug now to try to learn to play slide..just what i need, another project) and the owner said "hey great you came in. we were just talking about you.. wanted to give you something to show you how much we appreciate your business..." and they said to pick out any Baby Taylor I wanted. How nice of them! So, I snagged a BT made from babinga (spelled right?) wood. Very nice grain. fun to play. not a bad guitar at all considering. Of course, i suggested that they give me a 614... but they laughed and said "have a BT". anyway, what's everyone else's experience with the BT's?

I've owned the mahogany and rosewood versions and had a chance to A/B all wood combo's at a shop a month or two ago. I came to the same conclusion that the maple version is the best of the lot. It seems to have just the right note definition and voicing for the size of the box. Never thought of buying all four though. I thought I had a GAS problem

I'd like someone's first-hand info of how small the Baby really is. I know its 33 3/4", but will it fit in the overhead bin of a commercial jet? I'm interested...but I really need something compact.
Thanks! Aloha, Garey

Check out my string "flying with baby" in the general discussion section. I found no problem with the airlines putting it in an overhead bin. I've only done it once, but I have spoken with several people with the same story. I love my baby. It is small, a little more picky with it's intonation, but it has the action and feel of a real Taylor. I'm kinda glad it's not solid wood. I would have to worry all the more about humidity...however I do realize that the table is solid spruce. I'd like to add the aformentioned parlour to my collection as well.
