The Taylor GS Mini-e Koa Plus 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 thickly padded aero case is included and protects the instrument perfectly from shocks.
The GS Mini gets its name from its rounded design, 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 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 mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard guarantees a distinctly comfortable feel.
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 precise intonation over the entire scale length. The coarse-grained instrument is rounded off by a wafer-thin matt finish with Edgeburst finish and a three-ring soundhole rosette that perfectly matches the 4 mm dot inlays in the fingerboard.
The Taylor GS Mini-e is equipped with a user-friendly ES-2 pickup system that can be individually adjusted via a side preamp. It also includes three separate pickup points, each aligned for a pair of strings. The active pickup system is powered by a 9-volt block battery.
