Compact body, big sound

Pure comfort, massive sonic footprint. And for smaller framed players, or life of the go, what could be better? Indulge yourself in an expressive Taylor voice that oozes class while packing fantastic volume. Such a big, impactful acoustic voice that can handle a multitude of genres and styles, as well as keeping up with other instruments too. All in a compact, scaled down GS body. It's just shy of a 7/8 scale, making it immensely comfortable, and perfect for sonic experimentation. Achieve string bends, fast-paced picking to more delicate styles, as well as chunky chords, with great ease. With such comfort, and heaps of tonal flavour, there's simply nothing to restrict your performance. And with lightweight, compact design, you're limitless, unstoppable, and ready to make outstanding music.

Premium Sapele construction

Taylor's layered Sapele construction combines three layers of wood - two veneers of Sapele enclosing a core of poplar. This composition, while not as complex as solid woods, offers a blend of exotic aesthetics and durability resistant to varying climate conditions. While the rich, unmatched tones of solid wood are distinctive, layered wood can still deliver excellent sound, making it a beautiful, robust, and affordable choice for musical instruments. Layered Sapele's unique advantage lies in its resilience against fluctuating humidity, making it ideal for travel-friendly guitars that are often exposed to diverse environments. Moreover, all Taylor layered-wood models, including the GS Mini Sapele, feature a solid wood top to enhance the tonal response, ensuring quality sound production.

Sitka Spruce top

Sitka spruce, hailing from Canada, has established itself as the modern standard for guitar soundboards, fitted to 85-90 percent of Taylor's guitars. Its unique blend of strength and flexibility results in an expansive dynamic range that delivers distinct articulation. This makes it perfect for diverse playing techniques, from vigorous strumming and flatpicking to delicate fingerpicking. It's no surprise that Sitka spruce is Bob Taylor’s top choice for crafting a universally outstanding guitar. When it comes to the Taylor GS Mini Sapele, the incorporation of Sitka spruce not only enhances the instrument's sound quality but also makes it suitable for all kinds of guitar styles and players.

Protection included

An instrument of such class needs protecting. Which is why this GS Mini Sapele comes with Taylor's GS Mini Hard Bag. Take your cherished instrument anywhere, with the peace of mind that it’ll be in pristine condition every time you play. Preventing scratching, scraping, or any other damage to your GS Mini, the hard bag allows you to say hello to stress-free transportation, and wave goodbye to travelling worry.
