The GS Mini-e Koa gets a facelift

Taylor GS Mini-e Koa Plus Acoustic Guitar with Pickup

Travel guitars and parlour guitars can be found everywhere. These instruments are usually smaller than standard designs, which means they don't always quite measure up in terms of sound and looks. With the GS Mini, Taylor has created its own product category: Smaller and easier to handle than a normal-sized guitar but with a fuller-sized body than a travel guitar and, most importantly, a sound that makes no compromises. Taylor makes all this possible by combining a relatively large but still easy-to-handle body with a solid top, which in the case of the GS Mini-e Koa Plus is made of stunningly grained koa wood. And as if that wasn't enough, it is also equipped with Taylor's ES-2 pickup system as standard (an upgrade compared to the normal Koa version). What is more, the GS Mini-e Koa Plus features machine heads in an improved design.

The little twin brother

The Taylor GS Mini-e Koa is a scaled-down version of the Taylor GS and gets its round, voluminous appearance from the same model. It features a scale length of 23.5" - a full 2" (five centimetres) shorter than that of full-sized instruments - and a top made from beautifully grained Hawaiian koa wood (which on the Plus version comes in an attractive "Burst" finish). The guitar's "Relief Route" and sophisticated X-bracing system ensure a rich and dynamic sound. The back and sides are made from laminated wood with an outer layer of koa. The sapele neck is joined to the body using Taylor's proprietary screw joining system, and like all Taylor models the guitar features an ebony fingerboard. This combination of woods gives the GS Mini-e Koa a deep sound that retains its presence by emphasising the upper midrange, making this a well-balanced guitar that lends itself equally well to both fingerpicking and strumming.

Great sound even on the road

Guitarists who are truly passionate about the instrument don't want to leave theirs behind when they travel - and that is where the Taylor GS Mini-e Koa Plus is ideal. Its scale length of just under 60cm makes it pleasantly compact and provides unparalleled playing comfort. Other travel guitars may be significantly smaller - they may even fit into a rucksack - but players who are truly serious are relucant to compromise when it comes to their sound. Despite its name, the GS Mini-e Koa Plus has a full, rich sound that can compete with that of an OM model. And the scope of delivery also includes a sturdy soft case for when you DO hit the road.

About Taylor Guitars

Taylor Guitars was co-founded by Bob Taylor in California in 1974 and from the outset specialised in the construction of high-quality acoustic guitars. By focusing on state-of-the-art manufacturing methods and very high standards of quality, Taylor Guitars has made it into the top echelon of fine guitar makers. Names such as Taylor Swift, Leo Kottke, Prince, David Gilmour, and former US President Bill Clinton are a testament to the popularity of the instruments, which are also reputed for their playability. The creation of a second workshop in Mexico has meant that Taylor guitars are also in the mid-priced segment.

Perfect for those living room jam sessions

It goes without saying that travel guitars are made for travelling, and the Taylor GS Mini-e Koa Plus's handy size and robust laminated construction make it ideal for doing just that, no matter whether you end up playing it in front of the campfire at a beach party or in front of the fire at your chalet. That is not all, however: The GS Mini-e Koa Plus is great wherever and whenever you need to have a compact-sized guitar to hand - reclining on the sofa (don't try THAT with a dreadnought!) or at your desk for a quick songwriting session. What is more, the enhanced pickup that this model boasts compared to the standard version means that it is perfect for use on stage.

Absolutely in love with this guitar!
Flamingo Lane 06.06.2022
I fell head over heels for this guitar in the first few days after it arrived. It plays amazingly sweet and produces a rich sound for its size. Looks great too, the Koa wood is stunning.
Plugged into a Fishman amp it sounds decent, though it will need some EQ to soften the harshness of the pickup sound (as is true for any acoustic guitar, I guess).
The size makes it the perfect guitar for couch and travel guitarists, but I'm taking this one with me for live shows as well, as it has become my number one go-to guitar.

A good Quality Guitar but.....
Sammy_Beezle 22.06.2024
The GS Mini Koa-Plus is honestly a good guitar with a good quality sound.
With my honest opinion and why I took one Star out is, it should come with a Pickguard because, even though I bought mine at very new price, it came with a sign that someone has tried playing it with the top board showing a sign of the Guitar being slightly used.
PickGuard addition will make it better for a long newly look preservation.
The scratches of it being used won't show.

The Aero Case is very fantastic.
The Sound is just tremendous. ES-2 Sound system when plugged in is fantastic.

In general, it is a great product, however it is not cheap even at a Promo rate.

Extremely Playable, Wonderful Sound
ARMLV 04.06.2021
It is expensive, yes. But it is the best guitar I have, no doubt. Superb quality in every detail.
For an acoustic it is extremely fun to play even for an amateur such as your humble narrator. The short scale makes it also very handy to just grab and use on the couch for example.
Despite its small size, it has a warm, full tone but not lacking the bright ring that makes you love it. I am not sure how far it projects sound but for room playing it is quite loud.
They give you a special travel case with this one, which is light, yet very hard. Apart from the zipper, which is a bit rough and skips it is exactly what you need when you travel. I have no doubt the quitar is very well protected.
Ah, last but not least, it is BEAUTIFUL.
