Portable, Professional and Sonically Soothing


Classic Taylor construction, on a slightly smaller scale

When it comes to acoustic guitars, Taylor has always been synonymous with quality, craftsmanship, and innovation. And with good reason. The Taylor GS Mini series which, for over 10 years now has been a continuously inventive part of their lineup, brings these qualities to a more compact and portable package without compromising on sound or playability.


They're just gorgeous

The Taylor GS Mini series is designed for musicians on the move but these guitars are perfect companions for all occasions. Let's briefly highlight some key features that make them stand out, and then let's look at some guitars.

  • Impressive Sound (as always) : Don't let the small size fool you. The GS Mini guitars deliver a surprisingly rich and vibrant tone that will captivate and delight both players and listeners. Taylor's usual commitment to tonal excellence shines through in these smaller bodies, making them ideal for recording, jamming, intimate live performances, or just about anything really.
  • Travel-Friendly: The GS Mini's compact size makes it perfect for travel. Whether you're going on a road trip, heading to a campfire jam, or embarking on a world tour, these guitars are easy to carry and won't take up much space. Plus, they come with a padded gig bag for added protection.
  • Always Top End Materials: Taylor doesn't compromise on materials. You'll find solid wood tops on many GS Mini models, which enhances the guitars' resonance and projection. As with all Taylor guitars, this attention to detail ensures that your instrument will age beautifully and sound even better over time.
  • Variety of Options: The GS Mini series offers a range of models to suit different preferences. Whether you prefer the warm tones of mahogany, the bright and clear sound of spruce, or the versatility of layered wood options, there's a GS Mini out there for you. You can also choose models with Taylors ES-B pickup/preamp system for handy amplification
  • Playability: Taylor is renowned for its comfortable neck profiles and smooth playability, and the GS Mini series is no exception. No matter what type of player you are, these guitars truly are a joy to play.
  • Taylor Reputation: When you choose a Taylor guitar, you're not just buying an instrument; you're investing in a legacy of excellence. Taylor's dedication to innovation and quality has made them a trusted name in the music industry for decades.
