What Reidys say...
'One of the finest travel guitars we have ever played the GS Mini, packs a huge sound in a diminutive package. It has a huge dynamic range from a delicate whisper to a mighty roar! Unlike many other travel guitars it has great intonation and stability... it plays with the same great action, tone and playability full size Taylor guitars are famous for!
The GS Mini is perfect suited for playing in the lounge or taking to jam sessions... it comes with a robust deluxe padded gig bag making it ideal for camping trips and holidays. The guitar is also perfect for younger players because of the shorter scale and smaller body (The shorter scale means that the frets are closer together and chords will be a little less of a stretch).
The body is compact but has a deepness of tone that is surprising for such a small instrument The guitar has a solid Mahogany top with a relief rout a feature normally found on much more expensive models. The rout is similar to that found on violins and means that the top can vibrate more freely.
The GS Mini is a favorite of many performers and has been used by Damon Albarn,
The Script, One Direction and many more!
Like all Taylor guitars the GS Mini comes with a peerless setup and
plays amazingly well all over the neck. Taylor believe so much in the
quality of their guitars that they offer a 12 year warranty if you
register your guitar!
