Taylor GS Mini-e Koa Plus
The Taylor GS Mini-e Koa Plus is proof that small guitars can deliver serious tone — and serious style. With its stunning all-koa construction and upgraded Plus appointments, this compact acoustic-electric feels every bit as inspiring as it looks.
Built with a solid Hawaiian koa top, back and sides, the GS Mini-e Koa Plus offers a beautifully focused, articulate voice with sparkling highs and a warm, punchy midrange. Koa has a unique tonal character — crisp and lively when new, but gradually opening up into a richer, sweeter sound the more you play it. It’s a guitar that truly grows with you.
Despite its compact footprint, the GS Mini body shape delivers surprising volume and depth. It projects far beyond what you’d expect from a travel-sized instrument, making it equally suited to songwriting on the couch, studio layering, or bringing along to sessions and small gigs. The slightly narrower waist and scaled-down proportions make it incredibly comfortable to hold, especially for smaller players or anyone who prefers a more relaxed playing position.
Taylor’s renowned neck design ensures smooth, effortless playability. Chords fret cleanly, single-note lines feel fluid, and the overall setup is precise and consistent — exactly what you’d expect from a Taylor. Whether you’re fingerpicking delicate passages or strumming with energy, the guitar responds evenly and musically.
Plugged in, the ES2 electronics capture the natural warmth and clarity of the koa body, delivering a balanced, authentic amplified tone for live performance or recording. It’s a reliable, stage-ready system that preserves the character of the instrument without harshness.
Visually, the Koa Plus lives up to its name. The rich, golden-brown koa grain paired with upgraded details gives it a premium, boutique feel. It’s the kind of guitar that turns heads before you even play a note — and then keeps attention once you do.
It’s a model that regularly catches the eye in Musicmaker when someone wants a compact acoustic that feels special, sounds rich and travels effortlessly.
