The Taylor GS Mini-e Koa is not only an excellent travel guitar, it's also a stellar-playing and -sounding guitar in its own right. Modeled after Taylor's big and bold Grand Symphony-sized guitar, this is a scaled-down version made from Hawaiian Koa, with a Sapele neck and an Ebony fingerboard. The scale is slightly shorter than standard at 23 1/2" long, while the nut is a comfortable 1 11/16" wide. This little guitar has incredible tone and nice volume, especially for its diminutive size, and Koa body gives it additional high-end chime not usually found elsewhere. It also has Taylor's Expression System-T preamp system built in to it, so you can plug in and play anywhere without sacrificing its tone for volume. An incredible guitar overall, the Taylor GS Mini-e Koa is a great option for players of all experience levels - from students and adults, novices to experts. This killer grab-and-go guitar includes a full setup from our luthiers and a GS Mini hard gigbag.
