Exotic Grand Symphony Mini Acoustic-electric Guitar

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect Taylor GS Mini-e, this spruce-topped ovangkol model is a serious contender. Desired for its crisp highs and luxurious looks, the GS Mini-e features a solid Sitka spruce top and layered ovangkol back and sides. And thanks to the smaller body size of this acoustic-electric guitar, you’ll comfortably play it from the studio to the stage. The GS Mini-e features Taylor’s renowned ES-B pickup system with tone controls for incredible plugged-in sound.

GS Mini body shape gives great sound in a mini package

The award-winning original GS Mini was designed to be the ultimate musical companion. Inspired by the big, bold sound of Taylor’s Grand Symphony (GS) body shape, the Mini scales the GS body down without skimping on sound — packing a ton of tone into a comfortable travel size and giving you a guitar that has a full voice and is incredibly fun to play. At Sweetwater, we think of the GS Mini as a modern-day parlor guitar, perfect for playing around the house but also built to fit an active lifestyle.

The richness of ovangkol and the brightness of Sitka spruce

Ovangkol offers clear treble coupled with a powerfully woody bottom end that mellows and deepens over time. This Taylor GS Mini has layered ovangkol back and sides that offer the crispness and heft of ovangkol along with enhanced resistance to changes in humidity — a must-have for many traveling musicians at Sweetwater. The miniature Grand Symphony body style further enhances the wide-ranging tone and excellent balance. But let’s not forget what some would consider the most important part of any guitar; this Mini-e is built with a solid Sitka spruce top. Sitka spruce, Bob Taylor’s personal favorite for an all-around great guitar, is adaptable for any playing style, and its tone will become richer and more complex as the years go by.

Taylor’s ES-B delivers incredibly natural sound with full dynamics

Borrowing design elements from the famous ES-2 system, the ES-B electronics on the GS-Mini gives you an onboard digital chromatic tuner and preamp. An LED display aids in tuning along with showing when the batteries are getting low. A trio of uniquely positioned piezo elements behind the saddle capture natural, dynamic sound, with tone and volume controls for additional shaping.
