GS Mini-e Koa Plus
The GS Mini-e Koa Plus is the successor to your favorite travel-size guitar and now comes with a new elegant look. Koa is a wood that is known for its beautiful appearance and the Plus version’s Shaded Edgeburst finish further emphasizes this. Also the sonic properties of this tonewood are unique. It has an articulate sound with a lot of warmth and depth to it. The solid top will open up the more you play the guitar, expanding the midrange further. That’s an excellent motivation to play this guitar every day! Don’t judge this guitar by its size, the GS Mini-e Koa Plus has a loud and full voice. That’s largely due to the arched back creating extra space to resonate. Whenever your sitting on your couch, in the studio or at the tour bus and inspiration strikes, the Koa Plus is there to put your ideas to riffs or chord structures. This GS Mini is equipped with Taylor’s Expression System 2 pickup system, just like his bigger brothers. So that means whenever you plug in amp the acoustic tone is translated in a natural way. If you want to colour your sound you use the onboard bass, treble and volume controls. For protection and ease of transport the GS Mini-e Koa Plus comes with Taylor’s lightweight Aerocase.

Layered Koa
Layered Hawaiian koa offers players a gorgeous visual aesthetic paired with long-lasting resilience and vibrant tone. Though less sonically complex than solid wood, layered koa ensures clarity and balance while remaining strong and stable through travel and humidity changes.
Hawaiian Koa
A hardwood top such as koa produces a natural compression, so there tends to be more of a controlled, sustaining “roll-in” effect to a note. An all-koa guitar will produce a strong fundamental focus, with a splash of top-end shimmer. As a tropical hardwood, a koa top will initially project a bright and focused tone, especially together with koa back and sides, but as it's played, it matures into an increasingly warm, rich, sweet sound with healthy overtone ""bloom,"" especially in the midrange. A common mistake is when a ""bright"" player buys a koa-top guitar in part for its visual beauty, finds it to be too bright, and doesn't play it enough to allow the wood to develop its resonant tone. Goes Well With: Fingerstylists who play more with the pads of their fingers and tend to have a meatier touch. Bright players need to be careful because of koa's existing brightness.
ES-2 Pickup
If you need to amplify your sound, you'll love the revolutionary onboard ES2 pickup system. The 3 individual sensors located behind the saddle combine with the pro-grade preamp to deliver an unmatched dynamics, perfect for live or studio.
