Description

Designed to be the ultimate musical companion, wherever you go or stay.

There's something undeniably inviting about the Taylor GS Mini's scaled-down size, yet a single strum reveals the impressive voice of a full-size guitar. That mix of portability and musicality has proven to be a winning combination that fits into so many scenarios in life, from the couch to the campfire to the concert hall. It's not too big, it's not too precious, and it's not too expensive.

That broad-based accessibility has given it a resounding universal appeal, not to mention a built-in fun factor. The shorter 23-1/2-inch scale length makes forming chords a breeze yet gives the instrument plenty of snap and tuning stability for a rewarding playing experience. The acoustic-electric versions enjoy a sweet upgrade to ES2 electronics. All GS-Mini models include a durable hard bag built by Taylor for the optimal fit.

Tone Woods
A guitar's top is the primary filter and distributor of vibrating string energy through the guitar, which means it has a huge impact on its sound. Sitka Spruce is the most prevalent guitar top wood of the modern era. It blends stiffness and elasticity in just the right proportions which translates into broad dynamic range with crisp articulation. Layered back and sides create a sturdy yet receptive platform for the vibrating string energy sent by the guitar's top. Layered wood is less succeptible to changes in temperature and humidity, making it an excellent choice for players who travel with their instruments or simply require more durability.

What sets Taylor Guitars apart? Unmatched build quality, the most stable and playable necks, a vast array of tonal options, eco-conscious and ethically-sourced raw materials, and a lifetime of service and support.

An incredible little guitar

For a guitar of its size the Gs mini has incredible projection and depth of tone. At the time I bought it I was looking for a jumbo sized guitar, but when I played the Gs mini it was actually louder and deeper.

The Spa

One thing I must only say, it is so good for it's size. Name it, pro's use it and it can beat out some bigger acoustic guitars out there. I use it for stage everything feels comfortable on this guitar. The sound is so mind-blowing more than I expect. It rings like a dream and overall a very very useful guitar for bedroom, camping, stage, and name it what you want ready accompaniment guitar.

Greatest Investment I've ever made

This guitar is a bit pricy but the sound is amazing out of a travel size guitar. The pickup is a nice addition to the overall design and Taylor went above and beyond to make a guitar that is convenient while also maintaining the build quality that the brand is known for.

Awesome!

Super big sound and great sound especially for the price. I should've purchased the acoustic/electric version but that's on me. Size is also super convenient for gigging and travel.
