Inspired by Taylor Swift's memories of writing songs on her Baby Taylor, the Taylor Swift Baby Taylor (TSBTe) is a three-quarter-size acoustic guitar that's especially suited to young players and aspiring tunesmiths. This model's solid spruce top serves up a balanced, clear sound, and the slender neck and fretboard offer an accommodating feel for new budding players. With the built-in ES-B acoustic pickup and digital tuner, you're all set to plug in and play through an amplifier. The custom rosette was created in collaboration with Taylor Swift herself, and features her signature along with a delicate floral design custom-printed on the top. The TSBTe comes with a gig bag for transport.
