From Our Research Team:

The GS Goes Compact!

Taylor scales down their popular GS body shape and offers up the GS Mini. Crafted from Sapele laminate back and sides with a solid spruce top and ebony fingerboard, the GS Mini offers a stunning blend of warmth and presence. A great rhythm guitar that also fares well in other styles, the GS Mini is a great all-around performer. Just like you'd expect from Taylor, the GS Mini is a solid performer that will make any guitarist jealous. Just because it's smaller, doesn't mean it skimps on quality. Get the GS Mini and and take the Taylor sound anywhere!

Great tone in such a small guitar. Tried the Babys and Little Martins, but this beats them all, I also own a Taylor 414 and a Martin HD 28V which I'll never take out of the house and I needed someth... read more [+]ing for those nights away from home.

This is an amazing guitar. The sound is phenomenal. Fingerpicking with this guitar is very easy, and its loud when i want to use a pick. When I get home i can just pick it up and jam.

Sweet little guitar with the Taylor sound

by Gary from Fernandina Beach, Florida
January 16, 2012
Music Background: Hobbyist
Bought this guitar because I wanted a decent short scale guitar due to my having small hands with short fingers. Read all reviews and figured I'd give the GS Mini a try. First time I played it I cou... read more [+]ld not believe the sound was possible from this little guitar - sounds exactly like a Taylor (best way I can describe the sound). Not quite as much volume as my Martin D-28, especially when using a capo, but the tonal quality is excellent across all of the strings. I added the ES Go pickup that I play through a VOX 30 set to Boutique CL with reverb and the guitar/pickup combination is superb. The excellent sound coupled with the light weight and short scale make this a fun guitar to play. I did change strings from the Martin SP lights (same gauge as the Elixor's) but that was just due to my personal preference for uncoated strings.
Also have to add that my experience dealing with Sweetwater was OUTSTANDING. I was called soon after I place my order and all my questions were answered. The guitar arrived in perfect condition, double boxed and in the well padded gig bag that comes with the guitar. All I had to do was tune the guitar up. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.
