Torrefied Sitka Spruce Top w/Custom Sunburst - Indian Rosewood Back & Sides - 23-½ Inch Scale Length
The Taylor GS Mini-e Rosewood SB is a compact yet powerful acoustic-electric guitar that delivers a rich, vintage-inspired tone. Featuring a scaled-down Grand Symphony body, a torrefied Sitka spruce top with a custom sunburst finish, and layered Indian rosewood back and sides, this guitar offers a balanced and articulate sound with surprising projection. Its comfortable 23-½ inch scale length and thin matte finish make it incredibly playable, while subtle appointments like a 3-ring rosette and Italian acrylic inlays add a touch of elegance. Ideal for travel, practice, or performance, the GS Mini-e Rosewood SB is a versatile instrument with a big voice.
Since its arrival in 2010, the Taylor GS Mini has carved a unique space in the guitar world, becoming a favourite amongst players of all levels. Its travel-friendly size and surprisingly robust voice have garnered numerous awards and a devoted following. Now, building on the success of the 50th Anniversary GS Mini-e Rosewood SB LTD, Taylor is introducing the GS Mini-e Rosewood SB to its standard lineup, offering a blend of portability, rich tone, and classic aesthetics.
The GS Mini-e Rosewood SB boasts a scaled-down Grand Symphony body shape, making it incredibly comfortable to hold and play, especially for those with smaller frames or those seeking a travel companion. The 23-½ inch scale length further enhances playability, reducing string tension and making chords and stretches easier to manage. Don't let its compact size fool you; this guitar delivers a powerful and resonant tone that belies its dimensions.
At the heart of its sonic character is a torrefied Sitka spruce top. Torrefaction, a process that simulates the ageing of wood, results in a top that exhibits the tonal qualities of a well-played vintage instrument. This translates to a balanced, articulate tone with a sweet, broken-in sound right out of the case. The custom sunburst finish adds a touch of vintage visual appeal, complementing the rich tones emanating from the guitar.
The layered Indian rosewood back and sides not only contribute to the guitar's stunning visual aesthetic but also enhance its sonic depth and character. The layered construction provides stability and durability, making it an excellent choice for players who frequently travel or perform in varying climates. A thin matte finish allows the wood to resonate freely, maximising the guitar's tonal potential and ensuring a smooth, comfortable playing experience, whether you're strumming powerful chords or delicately fingerpicking intricate melodies.
Attention to detail extends to the guitar's understated appointments. A 3-ring rosette, 4mm dot fretboard inlays in Italian acrylic, black bridge pins, and chrome tuners create a sophisticated and refined look. The firestripe pickguard adds a touch of classic flair.
The GS Mini-e Rosewood SB also comes equipped with Taylor's ES-B electronics, providing a clear and natural amplified tone for stage or studio use. It's protected by a structured tan gig bag for easy transport and storage.
In summary, the Taylor GS Mini-e Rosewood SB offers a compelling combination of portability, playability, and rich tone. Its vintage-inspired aesthetics and thoughtful appointments make it a truly special instrument for players of all styles and skill levels.
