TAYLOR BT KOA [FREE GIG BAG]

Koa in Compact Taylor Form!

Whether you’re a smaller-bodied 6-stringer or seeking a compact companion for traveling and casual play, the Taylor BT Koa promises premier tones and a flawless feel for all players. As part of the Baby series, its 3/4-scale dreadnought body is matched with a solid koa top and maintains the familiar momentum and openness of a standard dreadnought, with exceptional midrange focus and phenomenal treble overtones. But its compact nature isn’t all that feels great across the BT Koa — so too does its standard carved hard rock maple neck and 15-inch radius Crelicam ebony fingerboard! Appointed with a set of die-cast chrome standard tuning machines, a smoothly responding Nubone nut, and a fingerboard-matching ebony bridge, you’ll pick and strum for hours on end with unwavering tonal appeal. The verdict among guitarists here at Sweetwater? The TBT Koa marries legendary Taylor quality with playability, unique tone, and beautiful aesthetics.

 

Knockout looks and tones

The immediate draw to the Taylor BT Koa is the characterful aesthetic of its solid koa top. From open mic sets to acoustic jams, the entirely unique patterned mixture of dark and light grains aboard this 6-string won’t go unadmired. And its sonics are equally impressive! Koa brings a top-end sparkle that will highlight the intricacies of your playing style with fantastically bright and articulate showmanship. In addition, koa also possesses remarkable focus in the midrange, meaning those gorgeous treble tones are backed all the way with a defined punchiness for delivering lead lines and authoritative riffs.

Fantastic feel for any player

A 3/4-scale acoustic done properly can often be a tall order, but that’s not the case with Taylor. The BT Koa absolutely nails the feel and enhanced resonance of a standard X-braced dreadnought in compact form, preserving that momentous energy to be expertly matched with a glorious koa top. Its neck of hard rock maple comes profiled with Taylor’s standard carve and topped with a 15-inch radius Crelicam ebony fingerboard that sports 14 frets to the body. With such excellent command and feel, the short-scale BT Koa is perfectly suitable for a wide variety of players, from youngsters and small-framed guitarists to traveling musicians and seasoned vets looking for a more manageable sizing.

Treated like a Taylor

Taylor's attention to detail is no secret, and the Baby BT Koa offers more of the same. Starting up at the headstock, you’ll find an exceptional set of die-cast chrome tuning machines to keep tabs on your intonation with superb dependability. Just below, a Nubone nut checkpoints each string with greater consistency and balance than a traditional bone nut, resulting in a smooth and pure string response with every strum. Finally, the lovely sustain of its ebony fingerboard comes matched at the bridge as well, allowing the BT Koa to ring out with strong song, no matter the musical space.
