Taylor GS Mini-E Ovangkol

GS Mini body shape gives great sound in a mini package

The award-winning original GS Mini was designed to be the ultimate musical companion. Inspired by the big, bold sound of Taylor’s Grand Symphony (GS) body shape, the Mini scales the GS body down without skimping on sound — packing a ton of tone into a comfortable travel size and giving you a guitar that has a full voice and is incredibly fun to play. At Sweetwater, we think of the GS Mini as a modern-day parlor guitar, perfect for playing around the house but also built to fit an active lifestyle.

The richness of ovangkol and the brightness of Sitka spruce

Ovangkol offers clear treble coupled with a powerfully woody bottom end that mellows and deepens over time. This Taylor GS Mini has layered ovangkol back and sides that offer the crispness and heft of ovangkol along with enhanced resistance to changes in humidity — a must-have for many traveling musicians at Sweetwater. The miniature Grand Symphony body style further enhances the wide-ranging tone and excellent balance. But let’s not forget what some would consider the most important part of any guitar; this Mini-e is built with a solid Sitka spruce top. Sitka spruce, Bob Taylor’s personal favorite for an all-around great guitar, is adaptable for any playing style, and its tone will become richer and more complex as the years go by.
