Product Description

A Small Body with a Full-Sized Voice

Don’t let the compact size fool you. The Taylor GS Mini-e is a small-scale acoustic with a voice that punches way above its weight class. This Special Edition pairs a solid Spruce top with layered Indian Rosewood back and sides, a classic combination that delivers a rich, complex tone you’d expect from a much larger guitar. The unique Vintage Teal Burst finish gives it a look that’s as bold and inspiring as its sound.

Tone Woods That Inspire

The magic starts with the solid Spruce top, which provides incredible clarity, dynamic range, and a crisp articulation that brings out every nuance of your playing. Paired with layered Indian Rosewood, you get a lush, resonant low end and sparkling highs. This construction also ensures the guitar remains resilient against changes in humidity, perfect for the traveling musician. The result is a guitar that’s incredibly responsive, whether you’re gently fingerpicking or digging in with a flatpick.

Plug and Play with ES-B Electronics

When you’re ready to plug in, the onboard Taylor ES-B electronics capture the guitar’s natural acoustic voice beautifully. The system features a built-in digital chromatic tuner, volume control, and a 3-band EQ, giving you everything you need to shape your sound for the stage or studio. It’s an all-in-one system designed for a seamless, plug-and-play experience.

The Lowdown

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.

The layered Indian Rosewood back and sides give this GS Mini a richer, deeper low-end and more sparkling highs than models with sapele or mahogany. It adds a scoop to the midrange and a complexity to the overtones that you typically find in full-sized, solid wood guitars.
Absolutely. The smaller body and shorter 23.5-inch scale length make it incredibly comfortable to hold and play. The string tension is lower, so it’s easier on the fingertips and requires less effort to fret chords and play single notes, making it a fantastic choice for new players or anyone with smaller hands.
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.
Orders ship same day in most cases and arrive within 1-4 business days with free, insured shipping. We’ll get it into your hands as quickly as we can.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
