The Taylor GS-Mini is a true wound wonder and from the very first moment you pick it up you wont be able to put it down!
The GS Mini body is a smaller and more practical version oft he Grand Symohony body and is exceptionally suidted for any playing style. The Mini is very comfortable to play and with its more compact size it is great for on-the-go.
A selected, solid Sitka spruce top offers, despite the small size of this model the typical, modern Taylor sound with brilliant highs, precision and powerful bass. The body is made from laminated rosewood and not only looks good but also plays a role in creating the sound and providing stability to the guitar.
The GS-Mini is among the most popular Western guitars in Taylor’s line-up and is with its exceptional playability the perfect “anywhere” and “anytime” guitar.
The ES-T is equipped in the 100 and 200 Series and features a sensor with individual element son each side. The integrated, 9V battery powered Preamp is operated like an Expression System and offers and switch for phase reversal, to minimize undesirable feedback.
The perfect travel guitar, the sound is really well balanced, sometimes you wish you had more bass frequencies, but taking the guitar size in account the low frequencies are really good.
The ebony fret-board is butter to touch, in my particular guitar I wish they had done a better job with the guitar set-up, the strings are distancing from the fret-board as you go towards the bridge, but it doesn't compromise the play-ability at all, is just a matter of perfection.
The internal amplification is a handy feature, although the plugged sound is not that great.
The thick strings give the guitar a really bright, crispy but beautifully well balanced sound. you just fall in love every time you play it.
In the end those little "imperfections" are no opponent to all the perfect qualities the guitar has.
It is just a beautiful instrument that I really advise.
