Beyond the Gear: Taylor Guitars & Sweetwater


Ultra-portable acoustic





Taylor's award-winning GS Mini-E Mahogany is a scaled-down version of their popular Grand Symphony guitar shape. With a total length that’s just over 36 inches, the Mini-E Mahogany 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 Mini-E Mahogany 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-E Mahogany 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.





Expressive ES-B electronics





Taylor’s custom ES-B Expression system delivers rich 2-piezo amplification that’s authentic to your unplugged sound. The GS Mini’s onboard ES-B system’s low-profile design delivers up to 300 hours of use amplification via two 3-volt lithium batteries (CR2032) with frugal monitoring by ES-B’s onboard auto-conservation system for maximum value. Plus, the ES-B system features an LED tuner and a low battery indicator as well as dedicated volume and tone knobs for getting razor-sharp performance out of your GS Mini when plugged in.
