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.

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.
