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 bass guitar - that's the easy part. The hard part is making one 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! In a bass that makes it even harder since the strings have a wider diameter! 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! Andy Powers worked closely with D'Addario and designed strings that are made specifically for the mini basses - they work so well even other guitar companies use them! They are D'Addario Coated Phosphor Bronze Bass (.037 - .090) offer punchy bass tone with a relaxed, slinky feel that goes easy on your hands regardless of your skill level.
The GS Mini-e Koa BASS brings the vibrant sound and organic beauty of Hawaiian koa to Taylor's ultra-popular reduced-scale acoustic bass guitar. The GS Mini's compact proportions make it a great choice for players who take their music on the road, and with a solid koa top, this model serves up a rich, bold sound that punches well above its weight for a smaller guitar. The built-in ES-B pickup offers clear, natural amplified tone and includes a digital tuner with an easy-to-read LED display. The GS Mini-e Koa Bass ships with a structured gig bag. This is the PERFECT bass for bassists of all levels - New players or players of smaller stature will absolutely love the comfort and playability that this instrument brings to the table. Don't think of this only as a "travel bass"! It is MUCH MORE then that. Gig Ready, Studio ready, OR travel ready!
