The Taylor GS Mini acoustic guitar packs impressive sound into a small, comfortable package. Designed for players on the go, the GS Mini's compact grand symphony body shape is lightweight and easy to transport. Yet its solid torrefied Sitka spruce top projects with volume and clarity that belies its petite dimensions. The layered sapele back and sides add warmth and resonance to balance out the bright spruce top. With its short 23-1/2" scale length and slim, tapered neck profile, the GS Mini makes chords and playing up the neck smooth and comfortable. The 1-11/16" nut width provides familiar feel for players used to steel-string acoustics. Wherever your music takes you, the Taylor GS Mini delivers big sound in a perfectly portable package.

Lightweight Body With Impressive Projection

The Grand Symphony body style of the Taylor GS Mini may be smaller than a full-size dreadnought, but it projects with volume and clarity exceeding its compact dimensions. The GS Mini's comfortable, lightweight build makes it ideal for travel and hours of playing ease. Despite its petite size, the guitar's solid torrefied Sitka spruce top disperses vibrating string energy with efficiency for crisp articulation and great volume. Your sound shines whether you're composing around the campfire or performing on stage. The GS Mini punches above its weight class when it comes to beautiful acoustic tone.

Layered Sapele Back and Sides Provide Richness

Complementing the bright snap of the Sitka spruce top, the layered sapele back and sides lend the GS Mini sapele a smooth, rounded warmth. Sapele is a versatile, responsive tonewood that adds richness and resonance to the Mini's voice. The layered wood construction helps keep the guitar stable in fluctuating environments, critical for a travel-ready acoustic. Whether you're playing gigs across town or touring across the country, the GS Mini's layered sapele back and sides give your tone organic beauty and reliability.

Comfortable Short-Scale Neck

Designed for comfort and playability, the GS Mini sapele features a slim GS Mini neck profile with a shorter 23-1/2" scale length. The slightly shorter scale makes learning and forming chords easier across the smooth ebony fingerboard. A 1-11/16" nut width provides a familiar feel for players used to steel-string acoustic guitars. The satin finish on the nato neck allows for fast, comfortable movement up and down the fingerboard. The compact Grand Symphony body shape is also comfortable for smaller players. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned guitarist, the GS Mini sapele offers accessible feel and portability.

Built for Portability With a Gig Bag Included

Weighing under 4 lb., the GS Mini is designed for portability and travel. The mini body size reduces weight while still projecting impressively and the layered sapele back and sides make it more resistant to climate changes. The included Taylor gig bag has ample padding to protect your guitar and a comfortable handle for easy transport. Enjoy jamming at home, carrying it along to lessons or band practice or taking it on stage with the safe portability of the GS Mini.
