I can't tel you much as am a bit of a novice with acoustics, but I've got my brother's Baby Taylor 301 at the moment. It's a beautifully built instrument, absolutely perfectly finished all over, and it sounds great when finger picking it, but it really sounds toss if you strum it. Methinks it's because of the teeny body. I guess you're not going for a 3 quarter size anyway, but just in case it crossed your mind!
