Taylor GS Mini Acoustic Guitar
The Taylor GS Mini packs the voice of a full-sized guitar into a fun, compact size at an affordable price point. The Mini features a scaled-down GS body shape and incorporates Taylor's latest-tone-enhancing engineering. Compared to the Baby Taylor, the GS Mini has a bigger, deeper body, longer scale length, and a bigger soundhole, which together yield incredible volume and a level of tonal richness that's comparable to a full-scale guitar without compromising portability.

It's small enough to fit an active lifestyle, yet with a voice that's big enough to be a player's primary guitar. The GS Mini also features Taylor's patented NT neck and other enhanced aesthetic details, including an inlaid rosette, top purfling, and a pickguard. Each Mini is also prefitted for a proprietary magnetic soundhole pickup, the Taylor ES-Go, which can be purchased as an after-market add-on and can easily be installed by anyone in minutes.

This little gem is well worth the price. My Taylor GS mini plays like a dream, the sound was great when it was new, but now that it has opened up, WOW. I for one, am quite thankful to be able to play this little beauty. Good job Taylor. Thanks Long & Mquade

This guitar has a beautiful bright tone and a solid build. Great for performing in a classroom and the portability is fantastic. The case it comes with is perfect for travel. It easily fit in the overhead and, more importantly, kept the instrument protected. Highly recommend it.

I bought one of these guitars a few years back. The guitar is lovely however, there is a problem with the optional pick up and the left handed guitar. The pick up clips in the sound hole which works great in most cases. The problem with this is if you're playing a lefty, the pick up clips in upside down. And since it's calibrated to pick up the different gauge strings a certain way, it's right outta whack on this guitar. I called Taylor on this but they assured me it doesn't matter. WRONG!! It totally does!!! When plugged in, my guitar sounded terrible. So I ended up returning the stupid pick up at a cost to me and having a permanent one installed under the bridge. It's totally fine now but it was a bit more $$..... Don't get the optional pickup if you're a lefty like me. The guitar rocks but they've failed on the pickup option.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
