Little in Size, Big on Taylor Tone

Looking for Taylor quality in a small-sized guitar? The Taylor GS Mini RW acoustic guitar gives you all that and more! While some smaller guitars pawn off their tone and sustain in the quest for portability, this Taylor’s Grand Symphony body shape delivers punch and resonance that’s twice its size. This model features a Sitka spruce top, rosewood back and sides, and an ebony fretboard, resulting in an exceptionally full sound. Grab one today and figure out why the GS Mini has become a Sweetwater favorite for work and play!

Ultra-portable acoustic

Taylor's award-winning GS Mini RW is a scaled-down version of their popular Grand Symphony guitar shape. With a total length that’s just over 36 inches, the GS Mini RW is a perfect travel companion for road trips, subway rides, and even flights. It’s great for camping, festivals, and gigs, but it’s also a reliable pick for new players who have smaller hands.

Full projection and rich sound

The Taylor GS Mini RW guitar’s big sound has made it an undisputed favorite among acoustic players of all stripes. Making little guitars isn’t hard; what’s hard is obtaining quality volume and tone from that little guitar’s smaller wooden chamber. That’s where the GS Mini succeeds, thanks to careful planning and features like an X-braced soundhole and premium tonewood selections. Whether you’re picking one up for the first or the hundredth time, the GS Mini RW plays with a consistent clarity that’s hard not to love. Think of the GS Mini as a modern-day parlor guitar that captures superior portability but retains an iconic rich, full sound of a much bigger guitar.

True hardwood character

Taylor cemented their legacy through crafting innovative instruments sold at prices that make sense: the GS Mini RW is no exception. The GS Mini-series is built with only premium tonewoods — this model features a real Sitka spruce top, layered rosewood back and siding, and an ebony fretboard and bridge for acoustic tone that’s familiar and rich at both ends of the neck. Whether you strum open chords or fingerpick, the GS Mini RW's authentic tonewoods deliver exceptional character and sustain while adding durability and unmatched aesthetics.

Taylor GS Mini RW Acoustic Guitar Features:

  • Scaled-down Grand Symphony-style body shape
  • Unmatched clarity and projection in this size range
  • Solid sitka spruce top
  • Layered rosewood back and sides
  • X-braced soundhole
  • Ebony fretboard and bridge

Beautiful Guitar

First I would like to say that Sweetwater is the perfect place to order a guitar. I like to shop locally, but since I play left handed, I am far less limited with Sweetwater than I am in local shops. The customer service I received from Sweetwater was amazing. I have no doubt I will do business with them again.
The guitar is beautiful. It has a very bright tone thanks to the solid Sitka Spruce top. I seriously doubt the rosewood veneer does anything for the tone; however, it is beautiful. I'm not a big guy, so the size of the guitar is just right. I find myself picking it up everyday. I am a beginner, so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but I think it is the perfect guitar to learn on because it's good enough for even an accomplished musician. I didn't want to waste my money on a so called "beginner guitar" only to spend more later on.
I highly recommend the GS Mini for someone who needs a smaller acoustic guitar.
Music background: Beginner.
