Taylor GS Mini-e Walnut Special Edition Acoustic-Electric Guitar Shaded Edge Burst

The Taylor Special-Edition GS Mini-e Walnut continues in the bold-voiced tradition of the GS Mini with a package featuring a solid walnut top and layered walnut back and sides, and a gorgeous shaded edgeburst. This appointment combination brings a lustrous visual dimension, adding an alluring organic appeal that elevates the GS Mini’s artistic personality. Players will hear rich projection and clarity with enough power to cut through an instrument mix, making this model a great choice not just for practicing at home or on the road, but also for playing with other musicians. There's something undeniably inviting about the Taylor GS Mini's scaled-down size, yet a single strum reveals the impressive voice of a full-size guitar. That mix of portability and musicality has proven to be a winning combination that fits into so many scenarios in life, from the couch to the campfire to the concert hall. The shorter 23.5" scale length makes forming chords a breeze yet gives the instrument plenty of snap and tuning stability for a rewarding playing experience. Tone Woods Walnut is sonically similar to mahogany. It produces a clear, woody voice with a splash of top-end sparkle and a bit more tonal support in the lower register. Onboard ES-B electronics make plugging in easy, and with the built-in digital tuner, players will have everything they need for an inspiring playing experience. A Taylor gig bag is included for easy portability and ultimate protection.
 
The GS Mini is amplified via the Expression System Basic (ES-B) system, which incorporates piezo design elements from the flagship Taylor ES2 system. It's powered by an onboard preamp that includes a built-in digital chromatic tuner, an LED display for tuning and low battery indication, and Tone and Volume controls. The preamp/tuner is powered by two button cell 3v lithium (CR2032) batteries. Two new batteries will provide approximately 300 hours of use. The ES-B conserves battery life using a standard on/off system that will automatically turn off if left on over 3 minutes. A low battery indicator on the LED display (located on the preamp circuit board) will display an “L” when the battery reaches 4.5 volts.
