Big Koa Voice In A Take Anywhere Package

If you want real acoustic tone that actually fits in your life, the Taylor GS Mini-e Koa 272 hits that sweet spot. Compact enough for the couch or the van, but with a solid Hawaiian koa top that rings out with way more volume and richness than its size suggests.

Solid Hawaiian Koa Top, GS Mini Comfort

The magic starts with that solid Hawaiian koa top. It gives you a bold, focused voice with clear highs, warm mids, and a tight low end that never gets woofy. As you play it in, koa sweetens up and starts to bloom, so this is a guitar that gets better the more you bond with it.

The GS Mini body is small enough to be truly travel friendly, yet still feels like a real guitar, not a toy. Whether you are on the tour bus, in a hotel room, or just grabbing a few minutes of practice between life obligations, it feels natural and inviting every time you pick it up.

Short Scale Feel That Makes You Play More

The 23 1/2 inch scale length lowers the string tension just enough to make chords easier and bends smoother, without feeling floppy. If you have smaller hands, are just getting started, or just want something that feels effortless after a long day, this neck is a breath of fresh air.

Sapele neck and West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard give you that familiar Taylor slickness under the fingers. Notes fret clean, chords ring in tune, and the whole thing just feels dialed in from the first strum.

ES-B Electronics With Built In Tuner

Plugged in, the ES-B pickup system keeps things honest. It delivers a clear, natural version of what the guitar already does acoustically, so your koa tone actually comes through the PA or your acoustic amp.

The onboard digital tuner with easy to read LED display is a real life saver. No more digging for your clip-on at the gig or campsite. Hit the tuner, get silent tuning on the spot, and get back to the song.

Road Ready, Gig Bag Included

Layered koa back and sides keep it stable when the climate changes, which is exactly what you want in a travel and everyday guitar. Toss it in the included structured gig bag and you are ready for rehearsals, flights, or campfire hangs without stress.

Real talk, this thing punches way above its weight as a writing tool, a travel partner, and even a stage guitar. Pictures are of the actual Taylor GS Mini-e Koa 272 you will receive, serial number 2210102272, and there is only one in stock.

Dialed In By Players, For Players

Before this Taylor leaves our Evansville, Indiana shop, our techs give it a full free pro setup so it feels like a guitar that has already earned a few miles with you. Action, intonation, playability, all sorted so you can just focus on making music.

You also get fast free 2 to 3 day shipping, a 14-Day Return Policy, price match help if you need it, and the option to work trades. This little koa cannon may be your couch guitar on day one, but do not be surprised when it starts following you to every session and gig.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

Think of it as comfortably smaller, not tiny. The GS Mini body is more compact than a full-size dreadnought, so it is easier to handle on the couch, in tighter spaces, or if you have a smaller frame. But with its solid koa top and smart body shape, it still moves plenty of air and sounds like a real guitar, not a travel toy. Most players are shocked by how big it sounds the first time they dig in.

Koa has its own thing going on. Out of the box you get a clear, focused sound with tight lows, sweet mids, and chimey highs. As you play it over months and years, the top opens up and the tone gets warmer and more complex. So this GS Mini-e Koa already sounds great now, and it has plenty of room to grow with you.

The ES-B is built to be simple, reliable, and musical. Plug straight into a PA or acoustic amp and you get a clear, natural version of the guitar’s acoustic voice without a bunch of harsh top end. The onboard tuner is a gigging lifesaver, and the controls are straightforward so you can focus on the set, not menu diving.

Yes. The photos you see are of the exact Taylor GS Mini-e Koa 272 we have in the shop, serial number 2210102272. Koa grain is unique on every guitar, so we shoot the real instrument. There is only one in stock, and it ships with its Taylor structured gig bag and a full pro setup from our techs.

Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.

This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.

If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.

Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
