Along with Martin, Taylor is a global leader in the acoustic guitar industry.
Their instruments are favored by numerous artists, including Christopher Cross, Tony Iommi, John Petrucci, and MIYAVI.
Taylor combines cutting-edge technology and craftsmanship to create innovative guitars, and in 2014 was the number one-selling acoustic guitar brand in the United States.
While most acoustic guitars feature a set neck joint, Taylor guitars feature a detachable design called the NT (New Technology) neck joint.
Furthermore, a wooden spacer called a shim is placed between the body and neck, and the pickup 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 maintaining an authentic 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.
As a Special Edition, it is a limited-edition model.
The body top is made of solid Sitka spruce, a standard wood used by famous brands such as Gibson and Martin for their standard models.
The top is finished in Trans Black, and the Firestripe pickguard adds to its gorgeous look.
The back and sides are Sapele, the neck is Mahogany, and the fingerboard is Ebony.
The 23.5-inch scale and narrow neck shape provide 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 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 playing at high volumes when connected to an amplifier.
It produces a truly authentic sound that is hard to imagine from its small body.
This guitar is recommended for beginners, those looking for a second guitar, those looking for outdoor use, composition, stage use, and electric players looking for their first acoustic guitar.
