Little in Size, Big on Taylor Tone

Looking for Taylor quality in a small-sized guitar? The Taylor GS Mini Rosewood 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’s Grand Symphony body shape delivers punch and resonance that’s twice its size. This model features a Sitka spruce top, rosewood 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

Taylor's award-winning GS Mini Rosewood is a scaled-down version of their popular Grand Symphony guitar shape. With a total length that’s just over 36 inches, the GS Mini Rosewood is a perfect travel companion for road trips, subway rides, and even flights. It’s 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 Rosewood 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, thanks to careful planning and features like an X-braced soundhole and premium tonewood selections. Whether you’re picking one up for the first or the hundredth time, the GS Mini Rosewood plays with a consistent clarity that’s hard not to love. Think of the GS Mini as a modern-day parlor guitar that captures superior portability but retains an iconic 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 Rosewood is no exception. The GS Mini-series is built with only premium tonewoods — this model features a real Sitka spruce top, layered rosewood back and siding, 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 Rosewood's authentic tonewoods deliver exceptional character and sustain while adding durability and unmatched aesthetics.

Taylor GS Mini Rosewood Acoustic Guitar Features:

  • Scaled-down Grand Symphony-style body shape
  • Unmatched clarity and projection in this size range
  • Solid sitka spruce top
  • Layered rosewood back and sides
  • X-braced soundhole
  • Ebony fretboard and bridge
  • Short 23.5-inch scale length
  • Premium GS Mini gig bag included

GS Mini Great Quality!

This guitar packs a punch, really ergonomic neck. It has a great tone for its size and the quality can be felt. Definitely a nice little guitar for travel and at home.
Rated 4.5/5

Just what I wanted!

This is a great little guitar. I could not quite give it 5 stars though just because of slightly misleading advertising from Taylor.
The GS mini is a wonderful practice and travel guitar. That is just what I wanted. It plays beautifully and is a small guitar that is easy to tote around and easy for a smaller guy like me to play with no effort. I had Sweetwater set the guitar up, which makes it really sweet to play. Being a shorter scale, the strings are easier to fret, of course.
Taylor infers that you will be shocked by the tone and volume coming out of this guitar, and I was not. Don't get me wrong, it sounds good, but it does sound like the smaller guitar that it is. It lacks the tone, color, and volume of a full-sized dreadnought, and I would not attempt to use it on stage or for recording, unless you hook it up to an amp and give it some help with volume and equalization. I did not buy one with electronics, so I can't fully comment on that.
This is a great little guitar, made with the same level of quality that everyone has come to expect from Taylor. It is fun to play and unbeatable as a practice and travel guitar, but you need to look for a guitar with more size, like a full sized Taylor guitar, before you will get the sound that really makes you smile.
