GS Mini-e Special-Edition Acoustic-Electric Guitar

The Taylor GS Mini-e special-edition acoustic-electric guitar in Blue Burst brings a bold new look to Taylor's beloved GS Mini series. Featuring a stunning Blue Burst finish, this guitar's soundboard fades from deep, opaque edges to a translucent center, allowing the natural grain of the solid torrefied Sitka spruce top to shine through. The torrefaction process enhances warmth and resonance, giving this compact acoustic-electric a rich, played-in character right out of the box. Paired with a layered sapele back and sides, this travel-friendly powerhouse delivers a clear, balanced tone with remarkable projection for its size. Whether you're a gigging musician, a songwriter or a dedicated home player, the GS Mini-e is ready for any musical adventure. Equipped with Taylor's ES-B electronics for natural amplified tone and a built-in digital tuner, it offers everything you need to plug in and play—at home, on stage or on the road.

Acoustic Electric Guitar With Solid Torrefied Spruce Top for Warm, Aged-In Tone

The GS Mini-e Blue Burst features a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top—a choice tonewood known for its dynamic range and crisp articulation. Torrefaction—an advanced roasting process—removes excess moisture, giving the wood a more aged, mature character with enhanced resonance and responsiveness. The result is a guitar that sounds warm, open and broken-in from day one. Supporting this vibrant top, the X-bracing with a relief rout optimizes vibration transfer, allowing the guitar to produce a full, well-balanced sound in spite of its compact size.

Layered Sapele Adds Long-Lasting Durability

The layered sapele back and sides create a sturdy yet responsive foundation for the GS Mini-e, complementing the tonal clarity of the torrefied spruce top. Sapele's tonal qualities are comparable to mahogany, offering a balanced midrange with a touch of brightness in the high end. The layered construction is resistant to temperature and humidity changes, making this guitar an excellent choice for players who travel frequently or perform in varying environments. This durable design ensures long-term reliability while retaining the warm tonal characteristics that make this special-edition GS Mini-e a joy to play.

Taylor ES-B Electronics With Built-in Tuner

The Taylor ES-B pickup system brings the GS Mini-e to life when plugged in, delivering natural acoustic tone with clarity and depth. Inspired by Taylor's flagship ES2 system, the ES-B features a behind-the-saddle transducer, preserving the guitar's organic warmth and dynamic response. The built-in digital chromatic tuner ensures your guitar stays in perfect pitch, with an LED display for easy tuning and low-battery indication. With simple tone and volume controls, dialing in your ideal amplified sound is effortless. The system is powered by two CR2032 lithium batteries, providing approximately 300 hours of playtime before needing a replacement.

Compact, Comfortable and Road-Ready

Designed for effortless playability, the GS Mini-e features Taylor's GS Mini neck profile with a narrower 1-11/16" nut width, allowing for comfortable fretting and smooth chord transitions. The 23.5" scale length reduces string tension, making it easier to perform wide bends and intricate fingerpicking passages. Finished in a matte coating, the neo-tropical mahogany neck offers a smooth, fast feel, perfect for extended playing sessions. To complete the package, Taylor includes a structured gig bag, ensuring your guitar stays protected wherever your music takes you.
