Big-hearted GS Mini tone in a compact guitar that gives back
This Taylor Guitars 4 Vets GS Mini Americana Special Edition turns the already addictive GS Mini into something deeper. You get that huge-for-its-size Taylor voice, an easy playing neck, and a design that visually honors the veterans who use music to heal through the Guitars 4 Vets program.
A GS Mini With A Mission
Taylor has been partnering with Guitars 4 Vets for years, putting instruments into the hands of veterans working through PTSD and other service related trauma. This special edition GS Mini is part of that story, with custom Americana inspired artwork that looks right at home on stage, at a campfire, or on your living room wall.
Real talk, this is the kind of guitar that feels good to play in more ways than one. Every chord, every song, is a nod of respect to the people who have served.
Torrefied Spruce Top With Big, Open Voice
The solid torrefied Sitka spruce top is the secret sauce here. Torrefaction pre ages the wood so it behaves more like a well loved vintage top, with a quicker response, extra warmth, and a touch of dry sweetness in the mids.
Paired with layered sapele back and sides, the result is a bold, dynamic voice that punches way above its size. Strum it hard and it has plenty of cut and shimmer. Back off and you get a warm, intimate sound that blooms under your fingers for fingerstyle and softer singer songwriter work.
GS Mini Comfort, Anywhere You Go
The GS Mini body has become a modern classic for a reason. It is small enough to throw in the car, on a plane, or across your shoulder, but it still feels like a real guitar when you sit down to play. At around 3 and a half pounds, it is light on the shoulder and easy on your back.
The 23.5 inch scale length drops the string tension just enough to make bends easier and chords feel a little more relaxed, without getting floppy or weird. Perfect for couch sessions, campfires, hotel rooms, and long writing days.
Taylor Playability For Any Skill Level
The easy playing Taylor neck is a big part of why these guitars are so addictive. The neck carve, fretwork, and setup all work together so you are not fighting the guitar, you are just making music. Beginners feel instantly at home, and experienced players can rip all night without hand fatigue.
The ebony fingerboard feels smooth and fast, while the ebony bridge and quality Nubone and Micarta components keep the tone focused and intonation solid. Die cast chrome tuners hold tune like champs, so you can focus on the song, not the hardware.
Special Edition Details And Ready To Roll
Beyond the artwork, this GS Mini Americana Special Edition is dressed in classy, understated details. You get 4 mm Italian acrylic dot inlays, a clean black pickguard, a matte finish on the body, neck, and peghead, and a simple paddle style GS Mini headstock that looks as good as it feels.
It ships in a structured Taylor GS Mini gig bag with built in backpack straps, so grabbing it on the way out the door is a no brainer. From quick jams to serious gigs, it is ready when you are.
