collapse expand iconDescription

The Taylor GS Mini acoustic guitar is all about full-sized sound in a scaled-down body, with solid mahogany for the top to deliver strong, rich notes with clear and direct focus. The arched back of the guitar generates more sound from the smaller body, and using layered sapele for the back and sides creates a sturdy yet receptive platform for the vibrating string energy sent by the guitar’s top. Layered wood is also less susceptible to changes in temperature and humidity, making it an excellent choice for traveling or if you require more durability.

This GS Mini is built with a shorter 23.5" scale length tropical mahogany neck, so forming chords is a breeze, but you still get plenty of snap and tuning stability for a rewarding playing experience. Additional appointments include a matte finish, West African ebony fingerboard and bridge, and chrome GS Mini tuners with chrome buttons. This GS Mini acoustic guitar comes with a Taylor structured gig bag.

Melodic Marvel - GS Mini Mahogany Acoustic Guitar Hits the

As an avid guitar collector who values both quality and convenience, I recently welcomed the GS Mini Mahogany Acoustic Guitar into my fold, and I couldn't be more delighted! Having been a dedicated supporter of Taylor's exceptional craftsmanship, this marks my third purchase from GuitarCenter, and once again, they've exceeded my expectations with this fantastic addition. The GS Mini Mahogany boasts an impressive array of warm, resonant tones, a hallmark of Taylor's meticulous attention to detail. Its compact size belies its robust sound, whether I'm strumming vigorously or coaxing intricate melodies. I'm particularly impressed with how well-balanced the tones are despite the guitar's smaller stature. The mahogany body imbues each note with a depth and fullness that's simply captivating. Beyond its tonal prowess, the playability of this guitar is unparalleled. The fretboard feels buttery smooth, the action is dialed in perfectly, and the neck profile ensures hours of comfortable playing. Taylor's commitment to excellence shines through in every aspect of the GS Mini Mahogany. From the flawless finish to the impeccable fretwork, it's truly a masterpiece that appeals to both the eyes and the ears. A big shoutout to GuitarCenter for their impeccable online service. From guiding me through the selection process to the seamless ordering, their professionalism is truly commendable. #sweepstakes

    being a senior beginning player I needed a smaller guitar that sound great. I traded my full size guitar for this 7/8 guitar and it made learning and playing much easier , enjoyable and fun like it should be. I now look forward to my lessons at guitar center and my daily practice. My progress is improving daily. If you are a beginning senior and are having difficulties with arthritis in your hands this guitar is a perfect option , easy to play and sounds great

  • I love my GS Mini Acoustic Guitar!

    I've had my GS mine for a few years and it just gets better and better. I use it to perform and performers are always curious how I get a deep full sound from a baby style guitar. It's simply an amazing design and a forever keeper. It's fine without an amp in merely acoustic practice sessions as well. It packs a mini-punch as acoustic only. And for me dealing with finger/hand aging issues it's truly a gift to have found this guitar. I put away all else and this is my go-to.

  • Amazing guitar!

    Outstanding size, quality and sound. I've wanted a smaller couch type guitar to keep handy for easy grabbing and this Mini more than delivers. You could perform with this. I also wanted a smaller guitar that would sound differently than my D-18 for when a friend was over for an impromptu jam. And the Mini is perfect - that's beautiful Taylor glassy sound and remarkably loud for its size. Quality throughout and so so easy to play - the action and set up is just perfection. It's such a keeper and the case with backpack straps too! Is very well padded, small and nicely done - no complaints here. Anyway super happy with this purchase- i rep you check it out if you're curious hard to put down seriously. #sweepstakes

  • Excellent product.

    Yes, a guitar tech would probably be able to do that. It would not be part of the order.

    Would this be a good choice for someone who has never played guitar? I want to learn to play and I am a smaller size guy (5'6) and don't want to try learning on a full size dreadnought. Please, let's hear your professional opinion.
Thanks
