Born from the boundless creativity of one of the most exciting modern guitarists, the Taylor Jacob Collier GS Mini 5-string redefines what an acoustic guitar can be. Part of Taylor’s acclaimed GS Mini family, this compact powerhouse blends torrefied spruce warmth with Collier’s adventurous spirit, resulting in an instrument that’s both familiar and delightfully new. Its torrefied Sitka spruce top and layered sapele body produce a remarkably full voice for such a small guitar, while the unique five-string design unlocks all-new sonic possibilities. With its playful yet refined design, the Jacob Collier GS Mini invites players to explore, compose and reimagine what’s possible—whether onstage, in the studio or in the writing room.
Torrefied Sitka Spruce for Aged-In Warmth
The GS Mini’s torrefied Sitka spruce top gives this model its instantly engaging tone, balancing crisp articulation with aged warmth. The torrefaction process pre-ages the wood through careful heat treatment, enhancing resonance and adding a mature, played-in sweetness from day one. Layered sapele back and sides lend midrange focus and touring-grade durability—ideal for the traveling artist. Despite its compact size, this wood pairing delivers surprising projection and balance, making it just as at home accompanying vocals as it is inspiring solo exploration. Each strum feels harmonically rich, carrying the unmistakable clarity and liveliness that define Taylor’s signature sound.
Compact GS Mini Body, Expansive Voice
At the heart of the Jacob Collier GS Mini lies its most defining feature: a five-string setup tuned to D–A–E–A–D. This unique voicing creates lush harmonic layers and resonant drones, offering a new dimension for songwriting and improvisation. The familiar 23.5" scale keeps the playing feel relaxed and comfortable, while the GS Mini body shape ensures a balanced tone that punches far above its size. Lightweight and perfectly portable, it’s built for life on the move—ready to accompany spontaneous jams, creative sessions or full-blown performances. The result is a guitar that encourages experimentation without sacrificing the tactile comfort that Taylor players love.
Mahogany Neck and Ebony Fretboard for Smooth Playability
The Jacob Collier GS Mini's neo-tropical mahogany neck ensures easy playability across the fingerboard, with a sleek, slim profile that feels instantly natural in the hand. The ebony fretboard adds smooth, fast action and a responsive touch, perfect for intricate chord voicings or upper-register explorations. Despite the unconventional tuning, the GS Mini 5-String maintains an intuitive layout that invites players of all skill levels to dive in. Whether you’re exploring layered textures or running through exotic scales, the neck’s comfortable contour and satin finish make every note feel effortless. It’s a design that reflects both Taylor’s precision craftsmanship and Collier’s fluid approach to musical creation.
A Modern Design to Match Collier’s Signature Style
Visual flourishes inspired by Jacob Collier’s vibrant artistry make this GS Mini stand apart. A custom rosette with colorful geometric accents mirrors his multi-dimensional approach to music, while the matte finish and minimalist detailing keep the look modern and refined. The headstock’s copafera overlay and understated inlays strike the perfect balance between subtlety and character. Die-cast tuners ensure reliable performance, and Taylor’s meticulous construction promises durability for years of play. Every detail—from the satin sheen to the tactile feel—reflects the joyful curiosity that defines both Collier’s music and Taylor’s design ethos.
