The Taylor GS Mini-e
The GS Mini-e
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 rather plain 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.

What a fanatastic instrument. The small body (with such a big sound) is perfect for my small body (I'm only five feet, six inches in height) and the 3/4 scale is great too. The nut width and fret spacings are not inhibitory in any way and make stretching for those big chords doable even for my 'sausage' fingers. Everything about the instrument shouts 'quality'; from the satin sheen of the finish to solid and resonant 'clunk' when you plug in the guitar lead - the pick-up/amplification is really true to the unplugged acoustic sound. I've run out of room and superlatives. Thoroughly recommended.
