Overview
Not a full-size dreadnought, the Taylor GS Mini Sapele is the maker's small-bodied acoustic with a Sitka spruce top and sapele back and sides. A mahogany neck with Taylor's signature carve and an ebony fingerboard shape the playing feel.
Compact size with a balanced, full and punchy voice is what the maker sells, and a gig bag travels with it. Electronics are not listed, and the limited-edition status means supply is not assured.
Who it's for
Players who want one compact acoustic for strumming, fingerpicking and travel. Stage players who need to plug in, or those who prefer a dreadnought's bigger frame, should consider other guitars.
Pros and cons
- Compact small body
- Spruce top with sapele back and sides
- Mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard
- Gig bag included
- No pickup listed
- Short scale length
Performance notes
The sapele and spruce pairing is described as balanced and fit for all-purpose playing, and the small body is said to deliver punch and resonance beyond its size. Hard strums, fingerpicking and power chords are all named as suitable. The signature neck carve and ebony fingerboard shape comfort.
