The Taylor GS Mini-e Koa Plus combines a solid Hawaiian Koa top with layered Hawaiian Koa back and sides in a beautiful shaded edgeburst finish. As a tropical hardwood, a koa top will project a warm and focused tone, with a touch of sparkle in the high end presence, creating a sweet bloom of midrange overtones. Equipped with Taylor's legendary ES2 active electronics system, the GS Mini e Koa Plus is stage and recording ready. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned professional, the GS Mini e Koa Plus is the perfect starter, travel, and companion guitar. Crafted with responsibly sourced West African ebony for the fretboard and bridge, the guitar ships with a new, ultra-sturdy Aerocase.

The Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) is a revolutionary pickup design that delivers the latest in Taylor's ongoing innovation in acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the Expression System 2 is Taylor's patented behind-the-saddle pickup, which features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. The location of the sensors enables a more dynamic range of acoustic sound to be captured than ever before. Together with Taylor's custom-designed "professional audio"-grade preamp, this system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. On stage through a PA, plugged into your favorite acoustic amplifier, or direct into recording software, the Expression System 2 faithfully conveys the voice of your Taylor guitar.

The compact Mini's scaled-down design blends read more ultra-portability with the voice and projection of a full-size guitar, while Taylor's patented The Taylor neck guarantees signature Taylor playability.
