Taylor GS Mini-e Koa

The Taylor GS Mini-e Koa is thanks to its compact design excellent for use on the road. A high-quality electronics enriches the instrument in its functionality and creates the possibility to give the acoustic sound also amplified to the best. Despite its small size, the acoustic guitar produces a powerful and midrange-rich sound that unfolds quickly and over a wide area. In addition, the short neck allows an easy grip in all 20 frets, which intonate cleanly with the help of finely crafted Hardware. A thick padded bag is included and protects the instrument perfectly from shocks.

Construction and woods

The GS Mini-e Koa gets its name from its round shape, which corresponds to the proportions of the Taylor Grand Symphony. The instrument is very lightly built to develop a rich sound despite its small construction. A solid Koa top thus provides powerful midrange frequencies, while a curved, laminated Koa body enriches the basses with a warm note. At the same time, a flat Sapele neck with an ebony fingerboard guarantees a distinctly comfortable feel.

Hardware and Finish

Chrome-plated die-cast tuners are set into the characteristic Taylor headstock to ensure precise tuning of the 6 steel strings. In addition, a Micarta bridge inlay and a 42.8 mm wide Nubone nut ensure very accurate intonation over the entire scale. The coarse-grained instrument is rounded off by a wafer-thin matt finish and a three-ring soundhole rosette that perfectly matches the 4 mm dot inlays in the fretboard.

Electronics

The Taylor GS Mini-e Koa is equipped with a user-friendly ES-B pickup system that can be individually adjusted via a frame preamp. The system also includes an integrated tuner with LED display. The active pickup is powered by 2 button cells ( CR 2032 ), which promise a playing time of approx. 300 hours.
