Little in Size, Big on Taylor Tone

Looking for Taylor quality in a small-sized guitar? The Taylor GS Mini Mahogany acoustic guitar gives you all that and more! While some smaller guitars pawn off their tone and sustain in the quest for portability, this Taylor guitar’s Grand Symphony body shape delivers punch and resonance that’s twice its size. This model features a rich mahogany top, layered sapele back and sides, and an ebony fretboard, resulting in an exceptionally full sound. Grab one today and figure out why the GS Mini has become a Sweetwater favorite for work and play!

Ultra-portable acoustic guitar

Taylor's award-winning GS Mini Mahogany features a scaled-down version of their popular Grand Symphony body shape. With a total length that’s just over 36 inches, the GS Mini Mahogany is a perfect travel companion for road trips, subway rides, and even flights. Not only is it great for camping, festivals, and gigs, but it’s also a reliable pick for new players who have smaller hands.

Full projection and rich sound

The Taylor GS Mini Mahogany guitar’s big sound has made it an undisputed favorite among acoustic players of all stripes. Making little guitars isn’t hard — what’s hard is obtaining quality volume and tone from that little guitar’s smaller wooden chamber. That’s where the GS Mini succeeds with its careful planning and features like an X-braced soundhole and premium tonewood selections. Whether you’re picking it up for the first or the hundredth time, the GS Mini Mahogany plays with a consistent clarity that’s hard not to love. Think of the GS Mini as a modern-day parlor guitar that's portable but retains the rich, full sound of a much bigger guitar.

True hardwood character

Taylor cemented their legacy through crafting innovative instruments sold at prices that make sense — the GS Mini Mahogany is no exception. This GS Mini acoustic guitar is built with premium tonewoods, including a tropical mahogany top, layered sapele back and sides, and an ebony fretboard and bridge for acoustic tone that’s familiar and rich at both ends of the neck. Whether you strum open chords or fingerpick, the GS Mini Mahogany's authentic tonewoods deliver exceptional character and sustain while adding durability and unmatched aesthetics.

Taylor GS Mini Mahogany Acoustic Guitar Features:

  • Scaled-down Grand Symphony body shape
  • Unmatched clarity and projection in this size range
  • Solid mahogany top with a natural finish
  • Layered sapele back and sides
  • X-braced soundhole
  • Ebony fretboard and bridge

The big little guitar

Just got my Mini. Did a bunch of research before the buy and it is just like what l reviewed everywhere. This guitar has a deep low end for a small guitar. It isn't like a large dreadnought so don t think that. But it is full and warm sounding. I think part of the reason is the back is arched and doesn't t have any braces. The arch makes the body deeper and so helps produce that great low end. Very balanced between low and high end. The only issue l have is the high strings buzz so l ve got Boveda working to balance the humidity and l ll tweak the truss rod to raise the action a bit. I am extremely happy with this guitar.

After six months

I normally don't write a review. Taylor speaks for itself, but Sweetwater I will never buy another musical instrument from nobody except Sweetwater. They have the best and I'm saying this honestly the best customer service..

Taylor GS Mini mahogany

This is an instrument! I have had another mini, a walnut and spruce that I liked, but this mahogany just sounds so much better! I paid extra to have it set-up by the Sweetwater luthiers and could not be happier! Easier to play by far! I added a ES Go to it after I received the guitar and it's better than ever! Very happy! Thanks to Cameron McMullen!
