Taylor GS Mini-e Koa Plus ES2
Blending comfortably compact proportions with a big, bold sound that punches well above its size, Taylor’s GS Mini series models fit virtually any situation—from passing it around a campfire to playing like a pro onstage. So, whether you’re looking for a starter guitar, an on-the-go travel companion, a new muse to inspire your songwriting, or just a great sounding Taylor acoustic, the GS Mini covers all bases.
Featuring a solid Hawaiian koa top, plus layered koa back and sides, this model serves up a rich, bold sound that punches well above its weight for a smaller guitar. Players looking for an elevated aesthetic and ES2 electronics will appreciate the refined appointments of the GS Mini Koa Plus.
ES2 Electronics
The Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) delivers the latest technology in Taylor acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the ES2 system is Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, featuring three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. The new positioning enables the piezo pickup’s crystals to respond more naturally to the guitar’s energy as it is transferred through the saddle, with three pickup sensors installed behind the saddle, through the bridge, with three tiny Allen screws that calibrate the position of the sensors in relation to the saddle. Together with Taylor’s custom-designed preamp, this ES2 system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness.
