I was looking for a guitar small enough for transport. This one exceeds all my expectations: compact, lightweight, and superb sound quality

Two days of testing on this guitar.
I would say that since it is a small guitar to take with you, you should not expect the same sound as a larger guitar.
And that is not the goal.
That said, I am not disappointed at all: its own sound if you don't attack too hard and well balanced between bass and treble.
The goal is to continue playing while traveling so as not to lose the touch.
But I am not sure that it cannot be used on stage without being ridiculous (it all depends on the type of music you play).
So, if you play quietly, it seems very good to me.
The look, apart from these 2 Phillips screws that fix the neck and look makeshift and the lack of a pickguard, there is nothing to say.

Very fast shipping from woodbrass. Well done! However, a little mix-up from Chronopost who did not deliver it to the right place...
As for the guitar, I am really happy. The finish is very well done and it is very pleasant to the touch. Just the two visible Phillips screws at the bottom of the neck are a bit shocking given the quality of the rest.
Its small size makes it comfortable and practical to carry everywhere.
The strings are soft and it is easy to play. The sound volume when playing with a pick is really impressive given the size of the instrument. However, it is much lower when playing with fingerpicking.
Overall, the bass and midrange are rich and powerful, but the highs are very dry and remind of a "banjo" sound. Which is a shame because they are not up to the level of the rest. Maybe this can be corrected by changing the strings.
Overall, I find this Taylor very practical and comfortable. I really like its powerful and metallic sound.
I do not regret this investment which gives access at a low cost to the Taylor myth.

Superb guitar!
Visually very simple but very beautiful, you can see that it is solid wood, you can admire the mahogany grain.
The beauty seems somewhat fragile though, to be seen in the long term.
In terms of handling, it is immediate, the neck is ultra comfortable, short scale length, pure happiness! Recommended string gauge 12-53.
Sound-wise, I must say it's downright amazing, this is my 3rd travel guitar and I think I've found the right one, very good sound projection, balanced sound, loaded with mids for sure (let's not forget it's a small-bodied guitar) but the bass is well present! The mahogany really brings roundness and depth to the sound, which is very surprising and very appreciable for a guitar of this size.
Of all the travel guitars I've tried, this one has the most bass, and it's also the one that seduced me the most.
In short, very satisfied with this guitar,
only small downside: a truss rod adjustment would have been appreciated before shipping, it buzzes...

this little baby quickly found its place, never far from my knees. An astonishing power and projection for a guitar of this size, a perfect neck, an immediate grip, a warm sound thanks to the mahogany, even the basses are present. This Taylor baby has nothing to envy from many big ones. And all this at a rock-bottom price, run to try one!!!!

tested in store, I would say that on the fingers: it's very good and beautiful like the harmonics
the basses are weak but, precisely, we have more clear sounds
bronze string and small top
On the other hand with the pick, I didn't really catch on whereas in arpeggios or jazz, it was great.
to compare with the little martin or gs mini

I hesitated for a long time between this baby Taylor and the Martin LXK2, a bit more expensive and less easily available. I was convinced by its solid top, imagining it would improve with time... Upon receipt, after 1 week of intensive playing, I am really satisfied with this Taylor: the finish is sober and beautiful and the adjustments are quite good: neck with very well set action right out of its case, which is quite rare and worth mentioning as it easily saves 50 in luthier adjustments... the neck is very thin, easy to barre like on a Stratocaster and particularly accurate, another point that surprised me. The tuners are precise and the tuning is fine. The frets are well filed, no touch-up needed and the strings are Elixir (light gauge and soft coating), I find them quite pleasant with this guitar size.
The solid mahogany top is one piece, the back is very rounded, it's nice to see, and when you play it without pressing on its back you feel a lot of beautiful vibrations coming out. The register is very midrange in strumming but the basses still express a bit in picking. It also takes some adaptation to fit the fingers on the small frets but it's a guitar size that will delight small female or child hands. Ideal therefore to start folk guitar from 10-12 years old.
Finally, the case is very beautiful, the adjustment docs in English are nice and the 3/4 size really ideal to take on a walk or practice lying on your couch in front of a football match :)... eventually, I will consider equipping it with a piezo pickup because its warm and muffled tone suits well to fingerpicking songs: a good amp behind it would enhance its nice character. I can give it 5 stars since I had no bad material or auditory surprise upon unboxing.

Very very good product, easily portable, beautiful (even the cover is magnificent!), good sound for a 3/4! You get used very quickly to the neck and the smaller frets than usual... Only downside, those big screws on the neck :'( Very ugly!

Surprising this BT2 all mahogany ... Small guitar that has a clear and precise sound but necessarily lacks bass given the size of the body. A nice guitar. Thanks again to woodbrass for the ultra-fast delivery despite the Christmas holidays and bad weather!!!
