Taylor Special Edition GS Mini-e Acoustic Electric Guitar – Translucent Black

Compact Size with Bold, Premium Sound – The Taylor Special Edition GS Mini-e Acoustic Electric Guitar in Translucent Black

Featuring a slightly transparent black soundboard that reveals hints of its underlying spruce grain, the GS Mini-e Special Edition, Trans Black brings a stylish new look to the award-winning GS Mini Series. Paired together, its solid torrefied Sitka spruce top and layered sapele back and sides yield a clean, well-balanced sound with plenty of projection. Our special roasting recipe for the top imparts a splash of aged-in sonic sweetness while a firestripe pickguard adds a dash of visual flair. The scaled-down, matte-finished Grand Symphony body, slender Taylor neck and shorter scale length ensure a fun, comfort-focused playing experience. Whether you’re traveling, gathered around the campfire, or relaxing at home, the award-winning GS Mini is up for whatever you are. Geared up for both studio and stage, the built-in ES-B pickup offers clear, natural amplified tone and includes a digital tuner. This special-edition model comes in a structured gig bag.
