Custom rosewood meets a foundational Mini-e chassis
Famous for its throaty acoustic warmth and resonance, Taylor opted for premium Indian rosewood when adorning the 50th-anniversary GS Mini-e's back and sides, fortifying the guitar's body style with resilient tone for immediate, first-class playability. On the instrument's top rests torrified spruce, rounding out the GS Mini-e's warmer edges with a balanced and high-clarity vocal sheen. Layered over it all is a super-smooth matte finish, amounting to a guitar that's just as comfortable to hold as it is to listen to. If you're a particular fan of Taylor's proprietary acoustic sound, there's no going wrong with this 50th-anniversary edition.
Classic acoustic comfort and control
Though a shorter size among its contemporaries, the 50th-anniversary GS Mini-e surfaces zero sacrifices in proprietary Taylor maneuverability. Its neo-tropical mahogany neck is carefully shaped to Taylor's standard carve profile, which is comfortable and accessible — especially for players with smaller hands. Additionally, the neck's matte finish, along with a supple West African fingerboard, guarantees accurate positioning and navigability around all 20 frets. It's all topped off with specialty 50th-anniversary faux pearl and Italian acrylic diamond inlays, garnering a sightly and celebratory visual appearance that exemplifies the spirit of true Taylor performance.
Capped with Taylor ES2 electronics
Taylor's Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics have long been admired at Sweetwater for their authentic acoustic projection and deep tone-setting expertise. By positioning the pickup just behind the saddle, ES2 electronics supply every nuance of sound without aggressive frequency interference — perfect for combating stage and studio recording situations where accurate sound representation is key. Paired with a simple three-knob configuration featuring volume, treble, and bass controls, you'll have more than enough sonic room to define the specifics of any acoustic voice. Small but mighty, the 50th-anniversary GS Mini-e Rosewood is more than capable of tackling any use case, from tour bus practice sessions to live performances.
