Big Tone, Small Package—All Koa Magic
Don’t let the compact size fool you. The Taylor GS Mini-e Koa Plus is a tonal cannon with the stunning looks to match. Built with a solid Hawaiian Koa top and layered Koa back and sides, this guitar delivers a punchy, vibrant voice that’s surprising for its size. It’s the kind of guitar that just begs to be picked up and played, whether you’re on the couch, in the studio, or on stage.
Solid Koa Top: The Heart of the Tone
The magic starts with the solid Koa top. This tropical tonewood is famous for its visual beauty and a sound that gets better with age. Right out of the box, you get a focused midrange and a brilliant top-end sparkle. But the more you play it, the more it opens up—blooming with warm, sweet overtones that add incredible depth and character to your playing. The matte finish doesn’t just look killer; it lets the wood breathe and resonate freely.
Expression System® 2: Natural Amplified Sound
When it’s time to plug in, Taylor’s revolutionary Expression System® 2 electronics have you covered. This isn’t your typical under-saddle pickup. The ES2 features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors behind the saddle. The result? A much more dynamic and natural acoustic sound that captures all the nuance of the guitar’s voice and your playing style. It’s your tone, just louder.
Playability and Comfort
With its scaled-down GS body and 23-1/2″ scale length, the Mini-e Koa Plus is ridiculously comfortable. The patented Taylor neck profile is slim and buttery, making complex chords and fast runs feel effortless. It’s the perfect travel companion, a fantastic writing tool, and a reliable stage partner, all wrapped in one.
