Rating: 5.0 / 5

A small-bodied guitar with a big, premium sound. The grab-it-off-the-wall guitar that punches far above its size.

Small body, huge sound

The GS Mini is a scaled-down Taylor that delivers astonishing volume and richness for its compact size. The solid mahogany top gives a warm, woody tone, and Taylor''s superb playability makes it the guitar you actually pick up every day.

It costs more than a starter dreadnought, but the build, tone and comfort are a clear step up — and it doubles brilliantly as a travel and couch guitar.
