Purchase this Baby Taylor BT1 guitar on Amazon
My review: 5 stars. This is the Cadillac of student model 3/4 size guitars. Usually I recommend the more modest Yamaha JR1 (see my review of that model here), but you might want to splurge for this better-looking, better-sounding model if you meet the following criteria:
-The student is 12 years old or under (with the exception of those looking for a nice travel guitar).
-You’re okay with paying twice as much as the Yamaha.
-This guitar will do a better job holding its resale value when the time comes to transition to a larger instrument.
-There is also the option of retaining it to use as a travel guitar when you need to avoid the bulk of a full-sized model.
-You are reasonably certain that guitar is something the student will continue to pursue in the coming years.
