Taylor cemented its legacy by crafting innovative instruments born out of a classic heritage, and the GS Mini-e Special Edition is no exception. This GS Mini-e is built with premium tonewoods, including a solid Sitka spruce top, layered sapele back and sides, a mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard for acoustic tone that’s familiar and rich at both ends of the neck. In fact, this run of the GS Mini-e boasts a torrefied spruce top for enhanced resonance and added top strength. Similar to combinations of spruce and mahogany, materials used in the GS Mini-e Special Edition deliver a classic tone that’s full-bodied, smooth, and suitable for practically any style of music. Whether you strum open chords or fingerpick, the GS Mini-e’s authentic tonewoods deliver exceptional character and sustain while adding durability and unmatched aesthetics.
The GS Mini-e Special Edition features a scaled-down version of Taylor's popular Grand Symphony body shape. With a total length of over 36 inches, the GS Mini-e is a perfect travel companion for road trips, subway rides, and even flights. What's more, it's ripe for camping, festivals, and gigs, as well as new players with smaller hands.
The GS Mini-e Special Edition’s big sound has made it an undisputed favorite among acoustic players of all stripes. Making little guitars isn’t hard — what’s hard is obtaining quality volume and tone from that little guitar’s smaller wooden chamber. That’s where the GS Mini-e succeeds with its careful planning and features like an X-braced soundhole and premium tonewood selections. Furthermore, the addition of Taylor’s Custom ES-B electronics system means this guitar can handle both unplugged and amplified sessions with equal aplomb. Providing rich 2-piezo amplification that remains authentic to your unplugged sound, the GS Mini-e’s onboard ES-B system’s low-profile design delivers up to 500 hours of use amplification, along with a digital chromatic tuner and active EQ controls for ensuring a razor-sharp plugged-in performance.
