Small Body, Big Heart: GS Mini Tone With A Mission
Photos are of the actual guitar, sitting in our Evansville shop right now. This Taylor Guitars 4 Vets GS Mini Americana Special Edition turns the already legendary GS Mini into a compact tone machine that also honors those who served.
Taylor’s ongoing work with Guitars 4 Vets uses music as a tool for healing veterans living with PTSD and other service related challenges. This special GS Mini carries that spirit in a super comfortable package that is ready for the couch, the campfire, the writing room, or the road.
Torrefied Spruce Top With Open, Broken In Punch
The solid torrefied Sitka spruce top gives you that seasoned, played in response right out of the box. Notes bloom fast, chords feel big and three dimensional, and the high end stays sweet instead of brittle.
Layered sapele back and sides add a woody midrange and focused low end that keeps things tight, not boomy. It all works together so this little GS Mini sounds way bigger than it looks, especially when you dig in with a flatpick.
GS Mini Dimensions That Go Anywhere
The GS Mini body is one of those designs that just hits that sweet spot between comfort and tone. Compact enough for travel or the couch, but still deep and wide enough to move real air when you strum.
The 23.5 inch scale keeps string tension relaxed, which makes bends easier and long practice sessions less work on your hands. At about 3.5 pounds, this thing is so light and balanced that you almost forget it is on your shoulder until you hear how big it sounds.
Easy Playing Taylor Neck For Any Skill Level
Tropical mahogany for the neck and an ebony fingerboard is classic Taylor: stable, smooth, and fast under the fingers. Even if you are a newer player, this neck feels friendly and predictable, not like you are fighting the guitar.
More experienced players will appreciate how cleanly it tracks up the neck and how consistent the response is string to string. Real talk, if you are used to full size acoustics, this will feel like taking the ankle weights off.
Special Edition Americana Details
This is not just another GS Mini off the rack. The Americana Special Edition brings custom artwork that visually nods to the Guitars 4 Vets mission and the people it serves. It looks unique without getting gaudy.
Italian acrylic dot inlays keep things clean and classic, while the matte finish on the body and neck adds a smooth, broken in feel with no sticky gloss. Chrome die cast tuners, black pickguard, and understated appointments round it out so it feels like a serious instrument, not a toy.
Ready To Play, Gig Bag Included
This GS Mini arrives with D’Addario XS coated phosphor bronze mediums, so it has that punchy, clear response but still feels smooth. Taylor includes a structured gig bag with built in backpack straps, which makes this an easy grab and go rig whether you are walking to class or flying cross country.
Every guitar that leaves Moore Guitars gets a full pro level inspection three times and a Player Perfect setup tailored to real world playing. There is only one of this exact Americana Special Edition in our shop, so if it is speaking to you, do not wait too long.
