Taylor GS Mini-e Mahogany Electro-Acoustic Guitar
Series: GS Mini Series
Body Shape: Compact GS Mini
Orientation: Right-Handed
Finish: Natural Matte
Overview
The Taylor GS Mini-e Mahogany is a compact electro-acoustic guitar that delivers an impressively full sound in a portable, comfortable design. Combining Taylor's renowned playability with a solid mahogany top and built-in electronics, it is an excellent choice for travelling musicians, songwriters, beginners and experienced players looking for a versatile everyday guitar.
The solid mahogany top produces a warm, focused sound with a strong midrange and clear fundamental notes. Layered sapele back and sides complement the top with balanced resonance, creating a rounded acoustic voice that works particularly well for fingerpicking, chord accompaniment and songwriting. Despite its smaller dimensions, the GS Mini-e Mahogany offers satisfying projection for home playing and informal jam sessions.
A tropical mahogany neck and West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard provide a smooth, comfortable playing experience. Its 23.5" scale length offers a relaxed feel that makes fretting easier, while the compact GS Mini body is convenient to carry on trips, to rehearsals or between home and the studio.
Taylor's ES-B electronics capture the guitar's natural acoustic character when amplified, with a built-in digital chromatic tuner for convenient tuning. Finished in Natural Matte, the GS Mini-e Mahogany features understated styling and a three-ring soundhole rosette. A structured gig bag is included for convenient storage and transport.
