The GS Mini-e Koa Plus in the Lineage of Taylor's "Travel Companions"
Designed as the high-end evolution of the GS Mini, the "Plus" version carries forward the salon/road-ready guitar concept that made the series successful, while adding a solid koa top, premium finish, and ES2 electronics. It stands as a portable reference, ready for stage, home, or studio use.
Who is this guitar for?
Ideal for motivated beginners up to experienced guitarists seeking a compact acoustic without compromise. Its quick response and clear definition suit fingerstyle, pop/folk strumming, blues, and modern accompaniment. The short scale facilitates barre chords and stretches, perfect for long playing sessions without fatigue.
The Sound
The solid koa top initially offers controlled brightness and strong fundamentals, then gains warmth and richness as you play. The laminated koa back and sides provide stability and clarity, while the arched back increases perceived volume and projection. The GS Mini format focuses the midrange for a present sound in the mix, with natural sustain and precise articulation. Plugged in, the ES2 faithfully captures the woody grain and dynamics, easily shaped via onboard controls.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
- Medium phosphor bronze steel string set 13-56 (matching the original setup), to preserve tension and tonal balance.
- Capo for steel-string acoustic guitar, standard 6-string format.
- Standard strap for acoustic guitar (classic strap buttons).
- Soundhole humidifier to protect the koa and woodwork during humidity changes.
