Taylor GS Mini-e Koa: A Travel Guitar For Every Continent
Posted by Callum on 19th Apr 2021
The Taylor GS Mini-e Koa acoustic guitar is considered one of the best and most beautiful travel guitars ever made. Sleek, tuneful and portable, this little instrument is the backbone to many sing-alongs.
In the past, travel guitars have been guilty of aiding a tuneless kumbaya around the campfire. If the volume wasn't quiet then the instrument was unbearable to play. As a result, performing your favourite song became a painful, drawn-out affair. And, someone was indeed always crying, Lord.
Taylor identified the difficulties that countless players encountered and set about remedying them. Let’s face it, there’s nothing more beautiful than jumping in a car with your mates and a guitar in tow. You then pull up to a gorgeous sunset and sing each other a tune before skinny dipping in a lukewarm sea. But, without the guitar, it’s a completely different event altogether.
Three Reasons You Need A Taylor GS Mini-e Koa
- It can’t be accused of lacking volume, tone or depth. The GS Mini is a loud, big sounding instrument that guarantees a better performance. Because of its Grand Symphony Shape and beautiful tonewoods, the volume is remarkably like that of a full-sized acoustic guitar.
- The Taylor GS Mini makes playing a total breeze. It features a low, very comfortable action that lets you easily move across the fretboard. Whether you’re playing big chords or cheeky licks, or you prefer to fingerpick, the GS Mini is super comfortable.
- All Taylor Mini’s come fitted with an onboard ES-B Taylor pickup. This means you can plug into an amp as soon as the opportunity presents itself. Furthermore, it includes a built-in tuner. So, no matter how fun your campfire, you won’t have to rely on your ear to keep your strings in tune.
