Taylor 50th Anniversary GS Mini-e Rosewood SB LTD
Marking a half-century of crafting premium acoustic guitars, the Taylor 50th Anniversary GS Mini-e Rosewood SB LTD model celebrates the innovative spirit on which the company was built. This special-edition scaled-down version of the Grand Symphony body style puts a stylish twist on a perennial favorite. The compact GS Mini is outfitted with distinguished touches that make a visual statement. The torrefied Sitka spruce top in a custom vintage sunburst finish pairs elegantly with layered Indian rosewood back and sides, producing a bold tone that belies its small stature.
Distinctive 50th Anniversary Appointments
As an homage to five decades of guitar-making excellence, the GS Mini-e Rosewood LTD sports premium features like intricate diamond fingerboard inlays, gold Taylor tuners and ebony bridge pins. A striking firestripe faux tortoiseshell pickguard provides an eye-catching accent. Together, these custom touches give this guitar an upscale, vintage-inspired vibe, and a look as unique as the memorable music you’ll make with it.
A Comfortable Companion
Like the original GS Mini, the scaled-down Grand Symphony body and hand-friendly 23-1/2″ scale length of the GS Mini-e Rosewood LTD make it a delight to play for hours. Whether you have smaller hands or simply prefer a compact instrument, you’ll appreciate how the slender mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard facilitate fluid playing. The guitar’s overall lightweight build also ensures fatigue-free practice and performance.
Bold Tonewoods, Balanced Tone
The torrefied Sitka spruce top and layered Indian rosewood back and sides selected for the GS Mini-e Rosewood LTD imbue it with a bold yet balanced acoustic voice. The Sitka spruce top, processed using a special heating technique, produces a warm, played-in tone with articulate highs. The rosewood back and sides add midrange punch and rich lows. Together, these premium tonewoods yield a versatile sonic palette well suited to any musical style.
Simple Yet Powerful Electronics
The Expression System 2 preamp provides simple yet effective control over your amplified tone. Adjust the volume, bass and treble to tailor the sound to your preferences or performance needs. The preamp’s design prioritizes a natural, resonant acoustic tone, so plugging in won’t strip the life from your instrument’s inherent voice.
