Taylor GS Mini-e Mahogany

The Taylor GS Mini-e Mahogany 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 of 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. Furthermore, 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 gets its name from its roundish construction, which corresponds to the proportions of the Taylor Grand Symphony. In order to develop a full-bodied sound despite the small construction, the instrument is built very light. A solid mahogany top thus provides powerful midrange frequencies, while an arched, laminated body made of Sapele 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

The characteristic Taylor headstock features chrome-plated die-cast tuners that 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 rather simple matt lacquered instrument is rounded off by a generous tortoise-shell pickguard and a three-ring soundhole rosette, which is perfectly matched to the 4 mm dot inlays in the fingerboard.

Electronics

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