Taylor Guiars are scheduled to make around 180,000 guitars next year. They are now the largest manufacturer of acoustic guitars – ahead of both Martin & Gibson.

The GS Mini model is recognised throughout the world as the best sounding “Travel” Guitar.  I was lucky enough to play a number of Travel Guitars at a shop (whilst overseas).

They included a Martin, Cort, an assortment of Chinese guitars, and a Taylor GS Mini.  The Taylor felt and sounded so much better than anything else !

Sorry (Martin), but the Taylor is easily twice as good.  Plus, look at the quality of the ‘soft’ gig bag.  Just fabulous.

Then, add Taylor’s  electric pickup.  Boy, it sounds great (and nearly as good as my Taylor Presentation Special guitar).  More photos below….

Perfect for life on the go. Or on the couch.

The award-winning GS Mini was designed to be the ultimate musical companion, wherever you go — or stay. Inspired by the big, bold sound of Taylor’s GS body shape, the Mini scales things down without skimping on sound, packing a ton of tone into a comfortable, portable size and giving you a guitar that’s full-voiced and incredibly fun to play. Think of the Mini as a modern-day parlor guitar, perfect for playing around the house but also built to fit an active lifestyle. With Taylor’s patented NT^® neck, you’ll always enjoy signature Taylor intonation and playability. So, wherever you end up, the GS Mini will be ready to play.
