Torrefied Sitka Spruce and Layered Sapele Deliver Big Sound in a Compact Form
The GS Mini-e’s sound begins with a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top, roasted to enhance warmth, responsiveness and dynamic balance while giving the guitar a seasoned, played-in character from day one. Layered sapele back and sides add a focused midrange and dependable low end, while increasing resistance to humidity and temperature changes—ideal for a guitar built to go wherever inspiration strikes. Taylor’s GS Mini body shape strikes a sweet spot between comfort and projection, delivering impressive volume and clarity for its size, while traditional X-bracing supports an even, punchy response that keeps chords full and single notes articulate.
Comfortable Mahogany Neck and Sleek Ebony Fingerboard
The GS Mini-e features a neo-tropical mahogany neck carved to Taylor’s GS Mini profile, offering a slim, approachable feel that supports confident fretting across the neck. A 1.6875" nut width provides comfortable string spacing for clean chord work, while the shorter scale keeps stretches manageable without feeling cramped. Genuine West African ebony is used for the fingerboard and bridge, delivering a smooth, responsive surface with excellent note definition. With its smooth matte finish, the neck minimizes friction and encourages relaxed technique during longer playing sessions.
Stage-Ready ES-B Electronics With Built-In Digital Tuner
Onboard ES-B electronics make the GS Mini-e Honeyburst easy to amplify and simple to manage on the go. The behind-the-saddle pickup captures the guitar’s natural acoustic character with clarity and balance, while the onboard preamp provides intuitive volume control and active tone shaping via a three-band EQ. A built-in digital chromatic tuner with LED display allows quick, accurate tuning without external gear, making this GS Mini a true plug-and-play solution for practice, travel or live performance.
Special-Edition Honeyburst Finish and Timeless Taylor Appointments
The GS Mini-e Honeyburst stands out visually with a warm, understated aesthetic that complements its inviting tone. The matte Honeyburst top adds depth and character without feeling flashy, while understated hardware keeps the focus on playability and function. The West African ebony bridge ensures clarity and sustain, paired with a NuBone nut and Micarta saddle for balanced string response. Die-cast chrome tuners offer smooth, reliable tuning stability, and the guitar ships with a Taylor structured gig bag for lightweight protection and easy transport.
