Overview
Crafted as part of a limited run of premium GS Mini models, the GS Mini-e Koa boasts a pair of upgrades: a back and sides of exotic veneered Hawaiian koa, and Taylor's stage-ready ES-2 acoustic electronics, including onboard ES tone and volume control knobs. The compact Mini's scaled-down design blends ultra-portability with the voice and projection of a full-size guitar, while Taylor's patented NT neck guarantees signature Taylor playability.

"A briliant little guitar"

This beautiful little koa guitar has a great full sound. I bought it so I could do small gigs at bars, etc without carting my Martin D35. The GS Mini goes toe-to-toe with full-sized acoustics and the tone is remarkable. Bright with a solid bass. Excellent electronics. Highly recommended
Musical Background:
Been playing guitar and writing songs since late 1060's.
Musical Style:
