Key Features

  • GS-Mini – A scaled-down GS that’s anything but small.
  • Layered Koa – Beautifully figured and durable, layered koa provides attractive visuals and tone at an accessible price.
  • The Taylor Neck – Introduced in 1999, the patented Taylor Neck offers legendary playing comfort, exceptional intonation and easy adjustability.
  • Hawaiian Koa – A koa top’s visual beauty is instantly inspiring, while its sonic rewards unfold over time, as warm, sweet overtones gradually emerge.

GS Mini

The GS Mini body shape is a scaled-down version of Taylor’s versatile Grand Symphony body. While you may get less volume and punch from the smaller body, you still get the versatility making a great guitar for strummers and fingerpickers alike. This guitar has a 23 1/2″ scale length which is just over an inch shorter than a standard Grand Symphony model. The slightly shorter scale cuts down on the size of the guitar and makes it easier to play thanks to the looser string tension and closer frets. The small body and shorter scale length make it a perfect travel guitar – small enough to easily take on the road with you without comprising the playing or tonal experience.

Layered Koa Body With Solid Top

The GS Mini Koa Plus has laminated-wood back and sides – an interior layer sapele, a core layer of poplar, and an exterior koa veneer layer. The top is made from solid koa for a richer, more complex tone. Solid koa is known for its initially quite bright tone, but as the guitar ages and matures you’ll find it mellows into a warmer and sweeter sound.

Expression System 2

The GS Mini Koa Plus features Taylor’s Expression System 2 (ES2) pickup system. Unlike a traditional undersaddle piezo pickup, the ES2 is located behind the bridge with three individually calibrated pickup sensors. The result is a greater dynamic range and less “squashed” sound from your pickup tone. The preamp is simple but effective with just volume, treble and bass controls for shaping your sound. There’s also an interior phase switch to help reduce low-frequency feedback. Whether you’re performing live into an amp or PA or you’re recording into an audio interface the GS Mini Koa Plus is ready to plug-in-and-play right out of the box!

Stuff About Acoustic Guitars

Acoustic guitars produce their sound naturally through the vibration of the strings and body, offering a direct and expressive playing experience. They come in a wide range of styles, including steel string and classical designs, each with its own feel and tonal character. Body shape, wood choice, and construction all influence warmth, projection, and balance, making acoustics suitable for everything from gentle fingerstyle to confident strumming. Whether used for songwriting, practice, or performance, acoustic guitars provide a simple, honest connection between the player and the music.

Stuff About Electro-Acoustic Guitars

Electro-acoustic guitars combine the natural sound and feel of an acoustic guitar with built-in electronics for amplification. Fitted with pickups and preamp controls, they allow you to plug directly into an amp, PA system, or recording setup while retaining an acoustic character. They’re ideal for live performance, rehearsal, and home recording, offering volume control and tonal adjustment without relying solely on microphones. Electro-acoustic guitars suit players who want the warmth and responsiveness of an acoustic instrument with the flexibility to play amplified when needed.

Stuff About Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.
