Taylor GS Mini-e Mahogany Acoustic-Electric Guitar

A marvel of scaled-down design, the Taylor GS Mini is a fun little acoustic cannon that has taken the world by storm. Sporting a rich, full voice that belies its compact size, the Mini is ultra-portable, yet just as comfortable to cradle in the comfort of your home, making it the ultimate modern-day parlor guitar. Featuring the Taylor NT neck, the Mini comes with either a solid spruce or mahogany top. And with the ES-T pickup system on board, you'll have a viable performance tool, too.

GS Mini Body Shape

Inspired by the big, bold sound of Taylor's Grand Symphony, the GS Mini scales things down without skimping on sound. The guitar manages to pack a ton of tone into a comfortable, travel-and couch-friendly guitar that's full-voiced and incredibly fun to play.

Tropical Mahogany Top Wood

As a top wood, mahogany produces a natural compression, so it won't yield as quick a response as a spruce-top guitar will. A mahogany-top guitar will produce strong fundamentals, with clear and direct focus. It might be characterized as having a woody, dry tone.

Layered Sapele Body Wood

Taylor's layered backs and sides incorporate three layers of wood, featuring a middle core of poplar with a veneer on each side. While layered woods won't produce quite as complex a sound as solid woods, they allow us to blend exotic looks with climate-resilient construction.

ES-T Electronics

The ES-T is a single-source, under-saddle transducer with individual elements for each string. It… read more features an onboard preamp and the same active controls found on the full ES. Featuring a custom-voiced EQ and dynamic response, the system is powered by a 9-volt battery, with a battery life LED power indicator (which is lit when the battery is being used). The pickup also has a Phase switch for feedback control, which is located on the preamp board inside the soundhole. read less
