Taylor's GS Mini-e Special Edition arrives in Blue Burst with a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top that delivers the warmth and depth of a well-played instrument straight out of the case. This acoustic-electric guitar features a distinctive blue burst finish fading from opaque edges to translucent at the lower bout, revealing the straight grain of the soundboard beneath. The compact GS Mini body pairs layered sapele back and sides with Taylor's slender neck profile, 23.5-inch scale length and narrower nut width for exceptional playability in a travel-ready format that doesn't compromise on tone. The ES-B electronics system includes a built-in digital chromatic tuner and delivers clean amplified acoustic tones that retain the guitar's natural character through any PA or amplifier. A neo-tropical mahogany neck joins a West African Crelicam ebony fretboard for stable, responsive playing feel, while the layered sapele construction offers durability alongside balanced acoustic response. The torrefaction process applied to the Sitka spruce top accelerates the natural aging of the wood, producing a mature tonal character with enhanced harmonic complexity from day one. Factory-strung with D'Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Medium strings (.013-.056), the guitar ships with a structured gig bag included.
