Description
Compact Size. Bold Style. Big Sound.
The Taylor GS Mini-e Special Edition, Paisley Burst takes the world’s most popular compact acoustic guitar and adds an eye-catching, vintage-inspired flair. This stunning model features an intricate paisley pattern beautifully rendered across its torrefied Sitka spruce top, finished in rich brown hues that evoke a timeless, classic charm with a modern edge.
Beneath its artful design, this guitar delivers the versatile, full-bodied tone that has made the GS Mini family a global favorite. The solid torrefied Sitka spruce top—roasted for enhanced resonance and warmth—combines with layered sapele back and sides to produce a balanced, lively tone with impressive projection and a sweet, aged character right out of the box.
Designed for effortless playability, the scaled-down Grand Symphony body, slim-profile Taylor neck, and 23½-inch scale length make the GS Mini-e both approachable and inspiring for players of all skill levels. Equipped with Taylor’s ES-B pickup and preamp system, featuring a built-in digital tuner, this guitar is performance-ready wherever your music takes you—on stage, at home, or by the campfire.
A structured Taylor gig bag is included for convenient protection and portability.
