If you’ve been waiting for the perfect Taylor GS Mini-e, then this koa model is the one. Desired for its resonant warmth and beautiful looks from the soul of a Polynesian paradise, the GS Mini-e Koa features a solid koa top and layered koa back and sides; one strum and you’ll be swept away in an... ocean of tone. And thanks to the smaller body size of this koa acoustic-electric guitar, you’ll comfortably play it in the studio and on the stage. The GS Mini-e features Taylor’s renowned ES-B pickup system, with tone controls, a built-in tuner, and a low-battery indicator so you never have to worry about losing power in the middle of a gig.

I've already found full size necks hard to use with my small hands. But I wanted Acoustic. This was recommended to me because of the C-shaped neck. I still cannot reach 4 frets but I at least can can close and accommodate as necessary.
Confessions of a Koa-holic

I started looking for a parlor guitar to add to my collection (guitar horde?!) a few months ago. There are many to choose from covering the entire cost spectrum. After many hours of listening, most fell into the 'one-trick-pony' sound category; great for one music genre, poor for anything else. After eliminating those, I filtered my choices based on country of manufacture. I… read more understand the global markets and marketing price points, but I do have my reasons. So how does it sound? Loud and balanced!!! I was surprised how much sound pours out of this thing. Larger than usual sound hole and bowed back work together to make this an acoustic powerhouse. A surprisingly light touch gets the top ringing. Sustain time can be measured in days (OK, so I exaggerate a bit). The electronics aren't ES2, but I preferred the bare koa to the burst finish of the Plus model and they work well with my Roland Micro Cube GX amp. The built-in tuner and strong gig bag complete the package. Rob (X1653) has been very helpful in addressing my many questions and made my decision much easier. Call him today. Oh, by the way, this is my fourth koa-topped guitar and second koa-topped Taylor. I like koa. It took lots of looking to find the koa pattern that called to me.

I am fairly new to the guitar world. This is my first guitar I've owned and I am still very much a beginner. I absolutely LOVE this guitar. It is beautiful, sounds amazing when played, and is the perfect size for me (5'2" with smaller hands). I received it as a gift from my boyfriend, and our Sales Engineer, Aaron Kinney, was amazing to work with and helped us find the perfect fit… read more for me. I can't say enough good things about this guitar or our experience. Thank you, Sweetwater, for helping me find my love of guitars!

This is my fourth GS Mini and it is great! The Koa not only is Eye Candy, but Ear Candy also! It is easy to play and easy to get lost playing. You never know where you will end up when you finally come up for air. This is also my second guitar purchase from Sweetwater and Ryan Haines did a great job helping me get the right guitar. Once again my guitar arrived ON time, in Perfect… read more Condition, IN TUNE, out of the box. How could you ask for anything more? I've included a snap of my nephew Sam test driving the new Koa GS Mini after he unpacked it for me. I had to wait about forty five minutes to get it away from him!

Decided to bite the bullet and get myself my first guitar after coming from an ukulele background... No regrets! This guitar looks and sounds beautiful. The craftsmanship is solid. I've been plucking away at it daily, learning more and more each day... It's hard to put down once you start playing it. The customer service from Sweetwater is unlike any other I have encountered before.… read more I'll continue to shop with SW for future purchases.
