Taylor GS Mini Sapele Acoustic w/Gig Bag
Top Wood: Torrefied Spruce Back & Side Wood: Layered Sapele Weight:3lbs 11oz/3.7lbs Serial: 220315160
Notes from the Moore Staff
The Taylor GS Mini - one of the world's most popular acoustic guitars: a smaller body and a compact feel with a big, bold tone that punches far above its size. Based on a scaled-down version of the original Taylor Grand Symphony body shape, this guitar has sold more units then some competing brands total output! That's saying something! Whether you're looking for a songwriting tool, a campfire guitar, or just a great-sounding acoustic that's up for anything, the GS Mini has you covered.
Anyone can make a small guitar - that's the easy part. The hard part is making one that is only 36" long, that has tremendous sound output while using the smaller body; one that can be tuned to accurate pitch, and most importantly - one that actually plays in tune! That's where Taylor succeeds and others quite frankly, don't. In most cases, shorter scale guitars have trouble "playing in tune" - but you won't find that issue here at all - there are many pro players that will actually perform with these guitars, and they are always at the ready!
Taylor GS Mini Acoustic Sapele Mahogany: This Sapele model features a solid torrefied spruce top paired with layered sapele back and sides, yielding a bold, clear response that punches far above its weight for a shorter-scale guitar. Taylor has perfected the special roasting process for the top so it adds a touch of extra warmth and sweetness that you'd normally only expect in a more mature, played-in guitar. Players will appreciate the slender neck profile and low action, providing a relaxed feel that's accommodating to players of all skill levels. And with the included gig bag, you're all set to take the GS Mini on the road for any occasion. There are many versions of the Taylor GS Mini, but this model gets you started on a whole new musical guitar playing journey!

We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.
