Solid top
At the heart of the GS Mini-e Rosewood SB is its solid top made from torrefied spruce, a tonewood prized for its crystal-clear articulation and broad overtone spectrum. The thermal treatment enhances the wood’s resonance and responsiveness, making the guitar sound open and mature right out of the box. The laminated Indian rosewood back and sides contribute a rich low end and warm mids while offering durability and resistance to humidity and temperature changes – a perfect balance of tone and stability.
Grippy body and short scale length
Designed with portability and comfort in mind, the GS Mini-e is ideal for musicians on the move or players with smaller hands. Its compact body shape fits easily against the body, and the short 597 mm scale length makes for relaxed fretting and reduced string tension – perfect for extended play or beginners looking for ease of use. The mahogany neck with a 42.8 mm nut width and smooth ebony fingerboard offers excellent playability and quick access across all 20 frets, making fast chord changes and melodic runs feel natural and fluid.
Flexible Taylor ES-B pickup
Equipped with Taylor’s ES-B pickup system, the GS Mini-e Rosewood SB delivers faithful, dynamic amplification. The system features clear and accurate signal transmission that preserves the guitar’s natural acoustic tone. A built-in preamp, complete with volume control and a 3-band EQ, allows for precise tone shaping, while the integrated tuner ensures you're always in tune – making this guitar a reliable choice for live performance or studio use.
Sunburst finish
The top’s stunning sunburst finish is a visual highlight, giving the guitar depth and richness reminiscent of a glowing sunset. Paired with a bold Firestripe pickguard and the naturally finished rosewood back and sides, the instrument showcases Taylor’s dedication to aesthetic excellence and premium craftsmanship. It’s a guitar that sounds as good as it looks.
Taylor - The epitome of the finest quality
As one of the largest guitar manufacturers, Taylor is a true authority in the production of first-class instruments. Professional production by trained specialists results in the finest products for life, whose value is always maintained - or even increases! This is due in equal part to the exquisite tonewoods, which do not warp due to long storage and selected quality and are therefore hard to beat in terms of high quality. Only spruce, mahogany, cedar or Koa of proven quality are used for the tops. Careful production in combination with the best materials does not only apply to guitars. Guitar bags and all accessories are also of first-class quality. Finally, a conscientious final inspection does not allow even the smallest defects to slip through and ensures absolutely flawless guitars before dispatch.
As if that were not enough, Taylor also attaches great importance to acting in an environmentally conscious manner.
Ebony & Koa: Sustainability at Taylor Guitars
Uncontrolled deforestation and overexploitation lead to massively endangered wood species that can no longer regenerate due to the high rate of extraction. These include ebony and koa in particular, whose dwindling stocks and the resulting ecological problems have prompted a rethink at Taylor Guitars.
Sustainable ebony cultivation in Cameroon
As ebony is particularly finger-friendly due to its hard, supple texture, it has long been the preferred choice for the production of fingerboards. Its attractive appearance is also extremely popular for bridges, headstock overlays, bridge Pins and Bindings. However, the high demand and the flourishing black market outstripped the stocks, so that ebony ended up on the Red List of endangered species in 1994. In addition, only the deep black heartwood, which makes up only a fraction of the tree, was used, resulting in a disproportionately large amount of waste in production. To protect the forests, Taylor has been working with the Crelicam Wood Mill in Yaoundé, Cameroon, since 2011 to promote controlled consumption by processing waste products. Thus, Taylor guitars not only contain black ebony elements, but also the different colored, more clearly grained parts of the tree. This complete recycling is an effective method of preserving the stocks and successfully counteracts their dramatic decline and the associated negative ecological effects.
"We need to use the ebony that the forest gives us" - Bob Taylor

Siglo Tonewoods Project
The koa acacia population has also suffered heavy losses over the last 20 years. Unsustainable forestry and overexploitation have led to a decline that can only be halted through proactive action and reforestation. This is why Taylor Guitars, together with Pacific Rim Tonewoods, founded the Siglo Tonewoods project, which aims to rebuild the Hawaiian jungle. This is a large cultivation area for koa acacia and other species, which enables the use of koa wood on a controlled scale.
