If you are looking for a travel guitar that doesn't compromise quality for mobility, you've found it. Deep rich lows, crisp bright highs, and size that makes it travel EASY. Additionally, the gig bag is SOLID. Amazing overall!

You won't believe the sound that comes out of this little guitar! It is full and bold. The travel bag is high quality you won't regret this guitar. Setup is a typical Taylor east to play.

Product Review
I am a beginner guitarist:) I previously had a small Cordoba travel guitar. It was very nice, but too small for me.
I have tried the Taylor GS mini mahogany guitar and it is more comfortable to hold. It's not too small. I have a classical nylon string guitar, but the neck is too wide for me to get G and G7 chords comfortably. I do wish that the GS mini came in a nylon string version. I have had the GS mini for 2 days. It meets my expectations. I decided to try the GS mini and I was pleased at how well I can reach more challenging chords. I am still adjusting to steel strings but I see that I will get used to the GS mini easily:)

Worth buying when it was on special

I was buying a 214 CE DLX when this guitar was thrown in for an extra $199. It is totally worth it. I call it el cannonito. The little cannon. It really projects. It comes strung with .13s which took a little getting used to but worth the pain for the purity of sound you get. I am heading out of town for 12 days and I will take this guitar so that I can keep playing. It comes with an awesome gig bag that will fit in the overhead bin on a plane. The ergonomics take a little getting used to from a full size guitar. The sound on this really blew me away.

When I 1st got this GS mini I had mixed emotions,gave it ap kinda crappy review, unjustly so I might add, it grew on me over the period of a few days. It is a great little guitar and I can only see it getting better though time. It has awesome wood that will age beautifully. I would most definitely recommend this little guitar.

You couldn’t ask for a better affordable Taylor. The sound quality is amazing, while the body size is smaller and easier to play than most acoustics. Tuning stability is a non factor in this and that’s with hours of playing. For someone that’s beginning to play acoustic or at an intermediate level I would 100% recommend the Taylor GS Mini.

I absolutely love this thing and just ordered another but the acoustic electric version. Took very little fine tuning to get the action super low but it stays there and it plays like an electric. Super comfortable guitar with a huge sound for any acoustic but it just feels so right. It’s inspired so much creative writing since I’ve been playing it and I can’t play any of my other acoustics now as they just don’t feel or sound right anymore. I’d buy this guitar 100x at the double the price. I’ve been playing for 24 years and I’ve finally found “the one”...

As a ukulele player, I was hesitant to put money into a guitar that I may or may not play. After reading reviews, I decided to do it - and I am happy I did! The guitar, itself, is beautiful. It’s the perfect size, has a smooth satin finish, and sounds FANTASTIC! Boy, does it sound good. Fearing that my hands would not be strong enough to make the chords, I was amazed by how well the guitar was set up. The action was great; and the neck and strings were perfectly aligned. Chords were a dream to make. The Taylor GS Mini has sustain for days, and the tone is rich and mellow. Overall, it’s an excellent instrument and I have no regrets making the shift from ukulele to guitar!

Thanks AMS,
This Is My Second Taylor, And My First Mini.
This Little Guitar, Works, And Sounds Just Like It’s Full Size Sister ! Incredible Quality, Playability , And The Sound Of The Mahogany Already Sounds Rich, Can’t Imagine What It Will Sound Like In A Year Or Less. Oh It Also Fades Into Your Quiver, If You Have Several Guitars, So The Wife Won’t Notice Another Axe In The Lineup.LOL, With AMS Making It Easy To Pay For In 12 Monthly Payments, Its Very Easy To Afford. Great Travel Guitar, Or Just Knocking Around The House , Or Work.
Don’t Hesitate, This Is The Mini Guitar If You’re Looking For One. Cheers

Few things in life live up to the hype. The GS Mini not only lives up to it, it goes beyond it. This little guitar packs a big punch. It sounds amazing, feels perfect and plays like a dream. I didn't believe it could possibly be as great as people say, until I bought my own. The Mahogany version is the perfect mix of warm and bright tones. It's easy to play and so enjoyable you won't want to put it down. If I had to come up with something to not like about this deal, it would be the included gig bag. It provides okay protection I would invest in a hard case.

Once tuned it has the warmth and pure sound of a full size!! It's so easy to play and Taylor doted every i and crossed every t. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT AND YOU WILL TO???

I have five guitars (1 Les Paul Electric, a Gibson Hummingbird Acoustic Electric, a Gibson Epiphone Pro 1 Acoustic - one played by Glenn Frey of the Eagles, A Gibson Acoustic Cutaway, and this new Taylor GS Mini parlor guitar with a grand auditorium sound). The Taylor has a great bassy sound for playing the blues and folk music, sound hole same size as my standard guitars, all mahogany top side and back. Beautiful playing guitar. Hard to beat a Taylor, even harder to beat AMS on service and quality.

String buzz

Beautiful guitar. I suppose without the string buzz it would sound beautiful. Very excited to receive this guitar. I couldn't wait to play it. I thought being a Tayolr I'd pull it out of its case and be amazed. But string buzz on the 1st and 2nd string at the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd frets ruined that. What a shame. Minor prob? I suppose. But being a Taylor it should be playable right out of the box.

Amazing sound, looks and play-ability! I used to have a 314ce. I had to sell it a while back and yearned for another Taylor. I like this better! It is small enough to have hanging around wherever you go and the sound is amazing. It is also better looking than the picture. The top is really a thing of beauty.

This Taylor is ridiculously easy to play and has gobbs of tone
Great perfectly crafted instrument
The smaller design is almost like a parlor guitar so it's
The easiest most playable acoustic I own
Tone is outrageous.....the mahogany body balances out the smaller shape so the result is
A well balanced sound with tons of projection.....you would never know this is a smaller setup
The mahogany finish has this awesome "3D" appearance.
The value is huge.....if so eons told me this was a $1000 plus guitar I wouldn't even flinch
Perfect set up....just plug and play....well just play no adjustments needed

Best Guitar I have ever owned

The Taylor Mini is very well made. I could find no flaws with mine.
I have only had it for about 2 months, but during that time I have played it daily. I find it better and better each time I pick it up.
Your general opinion of this product.
I want to buy another made of different wood just because this one is so great....another would be even better.
The neck feels just right for me even though it is a shorter guitar.
Lots of happy noise made with this guitar. Good sustain, good lows, good highs. It is amazing how much sound comes out of this small guitar.
Satin finish is very nice, but I think a glossy top might be nice too.
I have had no work done to it. It has a great action straight out of the box. Love this little guitar!
