Taylor BT2E Western Guitar Mahogany natural

Ended up with the Koa model which was a bonus. Properly portable with very little compromise in sound and playability. Stunning finish and a genuine Taylor for little money. Amazing customer service from Reidys music

I'm in love with this thing, I have small hands so it's great for me as a main guitar, love the sound.

Great sound from a little guitar. Two air trips have so far led to no problems in taking on board as hand luggage

The guitar has a natural wood grain pattern on the fretboard that some people perceive as discoloration. If aesthetics are important to you, it is far better to buy this model in person at a store rather than online, because every piece of wood is unique and you cannot predict exactly how the grain will look in photos. The guitar itself is excellent, but buying it online is a gamble when it comes to the appearance of the fretboard

I'm no conaseur of guitars. I've just decided ( at 60 ) to finally take the time to learn to play. It's gonna be a long winter in lockdown. But I do love the size of this guitar, reminds me of the one my mother played. It just fits. Thoroughly enjoying the experience.

I got tired of lugging my nice guitars around on trips and vacations, so bought this to take along with me. Previously I'd had a Martin Backpacker, that i never liked. I didn't care for the sound, and the action was really awful. This guitar is great though, and sounds deceptively bigger than it is. It's got a nice warm sound, and is great for finger style. It sits well in your lap too...(far better than the backpacker), although it does have a lug for a standard guitar strap. The mahogany is well finished, and gets a lot of comments. It has good quality tuners that keep it in tune very well. I also looked at the Little Martin LX1, but didn't like the sound as much as I did that of the Taylor. The martin sounded a bit muddier, and not as well defined. The Taylor has a really nice warm rich sound to it... While not the same as a full sized Dreadnaught, it really does well. I do keep a humidifier in it (one of those sponge ones) to keep it from desiccating in the dry heat. I did hear from a friend who had one crack on them... apparently they did not keep it humidified. It came with a nice functional backpack style carrying case, which I used for several trips, but I as always paranoid the guitar would get smashed, as it was not a hard sided case, so I bought the SKB Baby Taylor case for it. Glad I did! You can't go wrong with this guitar. While not cheap, it would also be good for a child, as it is a perfect size, and the action is quite good, which will make life easier for their little fingers. I keep it at work when I don't have a trip, and play it just about every day at lunch. No negative comments at all. It's everything I hoped it would be. Stephen Boise, ID

Die Gitarre ist recht klein und daher nicht ganz so laut als eine normal große. Der Klang ist gut aber die Spielbarkeit ist besser. Klare Kaufempfehlung für Käufer, die kleine Hände haben oder eine Reisegitarre haben wollen.

Great for kids I'd say but I'm sooooooo glad I bought a Martin X series instead ...this guitar does have big sound for a miniature body but not the quality sound i was looking for at all .
