Taylor GS Mini-e Koa Grand Symphony Acoustic Bass New

GS Mini-E Koa Bass with ES-B Electronics

If you’re looking for a quick, easy-playing way to add a totally fresh sound to your acoustic toolkit, the GS Mini-e Koa Bass offers a fun take on the acoustic bass guitar sound. Specially formulated nylon-core bass strings (designed by D’Addario specifically for the GS Mini Bass) offer punchy bass tone with a relaxed, slinky feel that goes easy on your hands regardless of your skill level. This model boasts a solid Hawaiian koa top and layered koa back and sides for a warm, snappy sound and beautiful visual character. The GS Mini-e Koa Bass includes built-in ES-B electronics featuring a digital tuner with an easy-to-read LED display and tone controls. This mini guitar ships with a structured gig bag.

A Word On Wood

A koa top’s visual beauty is instantly inspiring, while its sonic rewards unfold over time, as warm, sweet overtones gradually emerge. The layered koa body is beautifully figured and durable and provides attractive visuals and tone.

The ES-B Pickup

The ES-B pickup incorporates Taylors Expression System 2 piezo design elements and features an onboard preamp with a built-in digital chromatic tuner. The preamp/tuner unit features an LED display for tuning and low battery indication, along with Tone and Volume controls. The preamp/tuner is powered by two button cell 3v lithium (CR2032) batteries. Two new batteries will provide approximately 300 hours of use. The ES-B conserves battery life using a standard on/off system that will automatically turn off if left on over 3 minutes.
