Born in 2010 from the innovative mind of Bob Taylor, the GS Mini has become our most popular acoustic guitar. To celebrate our 50th Anniversary, we’ve given this best-seller a fresh look and added unmistakable touches of elegance that elevate its visual appeal. The GS Mini-e Rosewood SB LTD sports a torrefied, custom vintage sunburst top and striking firestripe faux-tortoise pickguard. Together, these visual elements make an attention-grabbing impression.
Legions of GS Mini fans have fallen in love with the comfortably scaled-down Grand Symphony body shape and hand-friendly 23-1⁄2-inch string scale length, along with the bold tones that defy its compact proportions. Here, the torrefied spruce top contributes to a played-in sound with a well-balanced and articulate tone profile. The chocolate and caramel hues of the layered Indian rosewood back and sides visually complement the look of the vintage sunburst top and add depth to the guitar’s sonic character. This wood pairing yields a warm low end, punchy midrange, and clear, glimmering highs, while the thin matte finish allows for lively resonance.
Whether you’re strumming chords or fingerpicking intricate melodies, the GS Mini-e Rosewood SB LTD makes an inviting and versatile companion for musicians looking for a compact yet sonically powerful instrument.
Celebratory 50th-anniversary appointments include exquisite diamond fretboard inlays in Italian acrylic, gold Taylor tuners, ebony bridge pins with gold acrylic dots, and a commemorative 50th-anniversary back label.
The guitar comes equipped with Taylor’s onboard ES2 electronics, ideal for amplification in recording and live settings, and ships with a tan structured gig bag.
