Why?

Wasnt the main purpose of a GA to provide a smaller more manageable body size?

Isnt this kinda contained in the whole "Baby" thing?

Maybe not for some, but for me, a baby is just fine...Im really not looking for tonal properties and shape from a guitar like that...more just a "hey, sounds alright to me!" response.

I think Id like to see a Big Baby M or Big Babies in different woods before I saw a Baby GA...just seems a bit to novelty-esque for me...

Just my 2 pesos...

We were talking about Baby 12 strings too. I think they both are good ideas! Two more things for Bob to work on!

Baby GA - very creative. I hope they call it the Taylor Get-Go!

Acutally, there was a thread a while ago where someone mentioned that they thought Taylor should make a Big Baby 12 string. In fact, that might have been the name of it. In that thread, I mentioned that to complete the baby line, they need to make a GA type body Big Baby. So, nya, nya, I thought of it first first!

Oh well, great minds think alike!!

Maybe so. But the Baby Get-Go sounds better than the Baby Mike A...

For whatever it's worth, I was the first to mention a Big Baby 12-string. So there!
