Channel the spirit of the legendary Sunset Strip with the Taylor GS Mini-e Sunset Blvd acoustic-electric guitar, crafted exclusively for Guitar Center. Inspired by the iconic Hollywood flagship store where generations of artists have found their sound, the GS Mini-e Sunset Blvd blends Taylor’s acclaimed playability with a nod to LA’s rich musical history. A torrefied Sitka spruce top and figured ovangkol body deliver a rich, lively voice far bigger than its size suggests, while gold Taylor hardware, Italian acrylic diamond inlays and a custom Sunset Blvd label give this special release an elevated feel. It’s a stage-ready, travel-friendly instrument that carries the energy of a true music mecca.
Figured Ovangkol Body With Big, Balanced Sound
The GS Mini-e takes the power of a full-size dreadnought and distills it into a compact frame built for effortless playability. The solid torrefied Sitka spruce top delivers warmth, clarity and that coveted played-in sweetness, while the layered figured ovangkol back and sides add shimmering highs and tight low-end punch. Despite the guitar’s smaller size, the bracing system is designed to maximize resonance. Combined with Taylor’s fine-tuned relief rout, it delivers surprising volume and balance across the frequency range. Whether you’re strumming campfire chords or fingerpicking intricate passages, the GS Mini-e Sunset Blvd packs a bold, dynamic voice into a highly approachable size.
Smooth-Playing Mahogany Neck and Ebony Fingerboard
Comfort is key with the GS Mini-e, and the Sunset Blvd edition continues that tradition. Its 23.5" scale length and 1.69" nut width make fretting effortless, while the slim Taylor GS Mini neck profile ensures a natural, relaxed grip. Crafted from neo-tropical mahogany with a matte finish, the neck offers stability and smooth playability in any position. The genuine African ebony fingerboard adds a premium feel, enhanced by Italian acrylic diamond inlays. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned player, this neck and fingerboard combination encourages long, comfortable playing sessions.
Taylor ES-B Electronics for Seamless Plugged-In Performance
Taylor’s built-in ES-B pickup system makes it easy to take the GS Mini-e Sunset Blvd from living room to stage. Featuring Taylor’s behind-the-saddle transducer design with adjustable sensors, the ES-B delivers a clear, dynamic sound that translates the guitar’s natural voice when amplified. The onboard preamp includes a volume control, three-band EQ and a digital tuner with LED display for added convenience. Powered by a 9V battery, it provides over 500 hours of performance on the preamp alone, with battery status easily monitored via the display. For practice, recording or live gigs, the ES-B ensures the GS Mini-e Sunset Blvd is always performance-ready.
Premium Taylor Hardware and Refined Details
Taylor outfitted the GS Mini-e Sunset Blvd with hardware and appointments that reflect its exclusive status. Gold tuning machines with matching buttons not only enhance tuning stability but also lend a touch of elegance to the copafera-capped headstock. The genuine West African ebony bridge pairs perfectly with the fingerboard, offering enhanced resonance and long-term durability. A custom Sunset Blvd interior label ties everything together, reminding players that this guitar isn’t just a GS Mini—it’s a tribute to a legendary musical destination.
