The body of the GS Mini-e Koa Plus electro-acoustic guitar is made of Hawaiian koa - solid wood front, laminated koa back and sides. The already beautiful wood grain is enhanced by the Shaded Edgeburst finish. Glued to the mahogany neck is an ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty frets. Tuning stability is guaranteed by the NuBone zero-fret string attachment in the ebony headstock and Taylor nickel die-cast mechanisms. The stylish look of the instrument is marred by traditional elements in the form of a rosette composed of black and white rings and a veneer on the headstock made of copafera wood decorated with a printed Taylor logo.
The sound pickup is handled by the Taylor Expression System 2. This is a completely unique pickup method that takes the possibilities of realistic sound reproduction to unprecedented proportions. Three specially designed independent piezoelectric pickups located behind the fingerboard are used for pickups. Unlike conventional pickups, they don't sense the up and down movement of the board, but the natural back and forth vibration of the grasshopper seat. This makes the sound much more natural, colourful and pleasing, and more responsive to the dynamics of your playing. At the same time, the new preamp makes the signal 25% stronger. Of course, feedback is eliminated and you can adjust the volume, bass and treble.
The guitar comes in a case (Aerocase).
The Taylor GS Mini is a high quality instrument that will serve any discerning musician well. Those who know what they want also know that all Taylor instruments are the right choice - it's simply about quality without compromise.
