What Taylor say...

This alluring all-koa version of the GS Mini pairs a solid koa top with layered koa back and sides, serving up an inspiring blend of looks, feel and sound. The compact Mini’s scaled-down design delivers ultra-portability for players on the go and couch-friendly comfort for picking at home, while the rich, full voice belies its size. Our patented neck design guarantees signature Taylor playability, and the shorter 23.5-inch scale length makes forming a chords a breeze. Onboard ES-B electronics invite you to plug in whenever you're ready, and feature a convenient built-in digital chromatic tuner with an LED display for tuning and low battery indication.

From the couch to the campfire to the concert hall, the new GS Mini promises big fun for everyone. Introducing a small-size guitar with a full size sound.

Taylor GS Mini-e Koa

Shape: GS Mini

Inspired by the big, bold sound of Taylor's Grand Symphony, the GS Mini scales things down without skimping on

sound packing a ton of tone into a comfortable, full-voiced, travel-friendly guitar.

Top: Hawaiian Koa

A hardwood top such as koa produces a natural compression, so there tends to be more of a controlled, sustaining

“roll-in” effect to a note. An all-koa guitar will produce strong fundamental focus, with a splash of top-end

shimmer.
