Taylor GS Mini, Koa, (Used)

The Taylor GS Mini is a compact acoustic guitar offering full-bodied tone in a travel-friendly size. It features a solid koa top, paired with koa back and sides, a mahogany neck and an ebony fingerboard—materials typically found on larger instruments. With a shorter 23½" scale and smaller body dimensions, it's lightweight, easy to transport, and sits comfortably whether you're seated or standing.

Sonically, the GS Mini defies its size by delivering impressive resonance and clarity. The koa-bodied versions offer warm, detailed mids and a strong low end relative to their body size while maintaining bright and articulated treble response. The guitar projects well for its classification and performs admirably with both fingerstyle and light strumming, though it may break up if played aggressively in the bass register.

The playability is one of the GS Mini’s strongest points: the comfortable neck shape and low string tension make it inviting for beginners and experienced players alike. The short scale eases chord shapes and string bends, while the minimal setup out of the box means it’s ready to play immediately. It comes packaged with a quality gig bag, making it an ideal option for travel, rehearsal, or casual performance.
