Along with Martin, Taylor is a global leader in the acoustic guitar industry.
Their guitars are beloved by countless artists, including Christopher Cross, Tony Iommi, John Petrucci, and MIYAVI.
Combining cutting-edge technology and craftsmanship to create innovative guitars, Taylor was the number one-selling acoustic guitar brand in the United States in 2014.
While most acoustic guitars feature a set neck joint, Taylor guitars feature a detachable design called the NT (New Technology) neck joint.
A wooden spacer called a shim is placed between the body and neck, and the neck angle can be adjusted by changing the shim's thickness.
This allows the string height to be lowered without sanding the bridge saddle.
Taylor's appeal also lies in its many innovative ideas, such as a UV finish that is resistant to fading and allows for a thin, durable paint job, and a unique pickup system that naturally reproduces the guitar's original sound.
This model is the GS mini, a scaled-down version of Taylor's signature Grand Symphony shape.
The GS mini is said to have popularized small-sized guitars, and since its introduction in 2010, hundreds of thousands have been shipped worldwide, making it a huge hit.
Its size is smaller than a regular guitar, but larger than a mini guitar.
This creates a well-balanced design that is easy to handle while producing a solid acoustic sound.
While small-sized guitars can often lack bass due to their construction, this model's rounded back design alleviates this issue.
The GS-Mini-e adds a pickup system to the GS Mini, making it even more versatile.
The body top is made of solid mahogany, and the back and sides are made of sapele.
It produces a distinctive mid-range sound that's a bit different from the standard spruce top.
The neck is made of tropical mahogany, and the fingerboard is made of ebony.
With a short 23.5-inch scale length and slender neck profile, this guitar offers excellent playability that suits a wide range of players.
The ES-B electronics incorporate elements of the Expression System 2 (ES-2) found in Taylor's higher-end models.
Instead of a piezo element being located under the bridge saddle, sensors are arranged behind the bridge saddle, allowing the guitar's natural sound to be output naturally.
This is ideal for connecting to an amp and playing at high volumes.
It delivers a truly authentic sound that you wouldn't expect from its small body.
This guitar is recommended for a wide range of players, including beginners, those looking for a second guitar, those looking for outdoor use, composing, stage use, and electric players looking for their first acoustic guitar.
