Taylor GS Mini-e Koa Steel String Guitar

The Taylor GS Mini-e Koa is a special version of the very popular Taylor GS Mini, a small body, short scale but top quality guitar. Using the same 23.5 inch scale length and 14-3/8 inch wide body as the GS Mini, the GS Mini-e Koa builds the body of Hawaiian Koa and adds the ES-B electronics package.

The GS Mini-e Koa is built for tone, playability, portability, and durability. The top is solid Koa, but the sides and back are a 3-layer Koa laminate with a Poplar core, and this will help keep it stable in the varied temperature and humidity conditions guitars of this type are often subjected to. The neck is Sapele, with Ebony for the fingerboard and bridge, and the headstock has an overlay of Copaifera wood.

A Taylor gig bag is included.

Here’s what Taylor has to say about the GS Mini-e Koa:

“This alluring all-koa version of the GS Mini pairs a solid koa top with layered koa back and sides, serving up an inspiring blend of looks, feel and sound.

The compact Mini’s scaled-down design delivers ultra-portability for players on the go and couch-friendly comfort for picking at home, while the rich, full voice belies its size.

Our patented neck design guarantees signature Taylor playability, and the shorter 23.5-inch scale length makes forming a chords a breeze.

Onboard ES-B electronics invite you to plug in whenever you’re ready, and feature a convenient built-in digital chromatic tuner with an LED display for tuning and low battery indication. “
