Taylor GS Mini-e Mahogany Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural

The Taylor GS Mini-e Mahogany acoustic-electric guitar pairs a portable body with the rich voice of a full-sized instrument. The 23-1/2" scale length makes forming chords effortless, yet provides enough tension for tuning stability and a rewarding acoustic experience. Its mahogany top creates natural compression, emphasizing fundamentals with a direct, even response. The arched back maximizes resonance from the compact size, while layered sapele wood sides and back provide a sturdy yet responsive platform for the guitar's vibrating energy. The GS Mini-e includes Taylor's Expression System Basic pickup for pro-level plugged-in tone with an onboard preamp and three-band EQ.

Mahogany Top Provides a Warm, Balanced Tone

The GS Mini-e's solid mahogany top produces a warm, balanced tone with clear lows, rich mids and smooth highs. Mahogany's natural compression evens out the instrument's attack for a linear response, emphasizing fundamentals. This wood is also highly responsive, transferring string vibrations efficiently for maximum resonance and sustain in the guitar's compact body.

Layered Wood Back and Sides For Durability and Tone

The GS Mini-e's layered sapele back and sides create an ideal balance of responsiveness and sturdiness. Layered wood provides a receptive platform for the vibrating energy from the top, generating resonance and projection, while resisting changes in humidity that can affect tone. This durable and toneful wood combination allows the GS Mini-e to withstand the rigors of travel and regular use.

Onboard Electronics for Plugged-in Performance

The GS Mini-e includes Taylor's Expression System Basic pickup, incorporating piezo elements from the ES2. Powered by an onboard preamp with a built-in tuner, the ES-B provides pro-level plugged-in tone with a three-band EQ for sculpting your sound. Conserving battery life with an automatic shutoff, the ES-B gives you maximum control and performance for any playing situation.

Premium Appointments and Portability

Premium touches on the GS Mini-e include a mahogany neck with genuine West African ebony fingerboard and bridge, chrome hardware and a NuBone nut. A padded gig bag is included, providing comfortable portability for your premium travel-ready acoustic.
