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 sandwiched 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-size guitars, and since its introduction in 2010, it has become a huge hit, with hundreds of thousands shipped worldwide.
The body is smaller than a standard guitar, but larger than a so-called mini guitar.
This creates a well-balanced design that is easy to handle and produces a solid acoustic sound.
While small-size guitars can often lack bass due to their construction, this model's rounded back design alleviates this issue.
The body top is made of solid Sitka spruce, a classic wood used in standard models by famous brands like Gibson and Martin.
The back is sapele, the neck is tropical mahogany, and the fingerboard is ebony.
With a short 23.5-inch scale length and slim neck profile, it offers excellent playability that suits a wide range of players.
It delivers a truly authentic sound that you wouldn't expect from its small body.
Recommended for beginners, those looking for a second guitar, those looking for outdoor use, composition, stage performance, and electric guitarists looking for their first acoustic guitar.
