Taylor Guitars - GS MINI-E KOA

Description

This alluring all-koa version of the GS Mini pairs a solid koa top with layered koa back and sides, serving up an inspiring blend of looks, feel and sound. The compact Mini's scaled-down design delivers ultra-portability for players on the go and couch-friendly comfort for picking at home, while the rich, bold sound punches well above its weight for a smaller guitar. The patented neck design guarantees signature Taylor playability, and the shorter 23.5-inch scale length makes forming a chord a breeze. The built-in ES-B pickup offers clear, natural amplified tone and includes a digital tuner with an easy-to-read LED display. The GS Mini-e Koa ships with a structured gig bag.

Features

* GS Mini Shape packs a ton of tone into a comfortable travel size, giving you a guitar that's full-voiced and incredibly fun to play.

* Hawaiian Koa Top Wood - A koa top's visual beauty is instantly inspiring, while its sonic rewards unfold over time, as warm, sweet overtones gradually emerge.

* Layered Koa Body Wood - Beautifully figured and durable, layered koa provides attractive visuals and tone at an accessible price.

* ES-B Electronics - The ES-B electronics incorporate Taylor's Expression System 2 piezo design elements and features a multifunctional onboard preamp with a built-in digital chromatic tuner and active tone-shaping EQ control. The preamp/tuner unit features an LED display for tuning and low battery indication, along with a Volume control and 3-band EQ. The preamp/tuner is powered by a 9v battery. With an alkaline battery, battery life expectancy when using the preamp only is over 500 hours, and when using the tuner is over 50 hours.

* Non-cutaway - The clean, symmetrical look of a traditional acoustic guitar.
