{"product_id":"taylor-gs-mini-e-koa-acoustic-electric-6583","title":"Taylor GS Mini-e Koa Acoustic-Electric #6583","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Taylor GS Mini-e Koa brings Taylor's travel-scale body into all-koa territory, with a solid Hawaiian koa top over layered koa back and sides. It shares the same X-Bracing pattern as the rest of the GS Mini family rather than the V-Class bracing on Taylor's full-size guitars — this line is voiced as its own thing, not a shrunken flagship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKoa tightens up as it ages, and even fresh off the bench it offers a compressed, midrange-forward character with less low-end sprawl than mahogany or spruce — good for fingerstyle definition and for cutting through in a small-group singer-songwriter setting. It makes an excellent travel or backup guitar and a fine practice-room instrument, but at this body size it doesn't substitute for a full-size guitar on a stage that needs real low-end push.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppointments match the rest of the GS Mini line — a matte-finished neo-tropical mahogany neck, West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard and bridge, faux pearl 4mm dot inlays, black hardware — with no pickguard, since the ES-B electronics take center stage here instead. The ES-B system adds an onboard preamp and a built-in digital tuner, so the GS Mini-e Koa plugs straight into a PA or interface without an add-on soundhole pickup. Every GS Mini-e Koa ships under our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/dread-not-guarantee\"\u003eDread-Not Guarantee\u003c\/a\u003e — a 30-day in-home trial and a full year to trade it in for 90% credit toward anything else in the store, backed by a free humidity monitoring kit. For a player who wants a genuine koa Taylor with plug-and-play electronics in a travel-friendly body, the GS Mini-e Koa is the clear step up from the entry GS Mini models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhotos shown are manufacturer stock images — this unit's own in-house photos will replace them once photography is complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Shoppe is an Authorized Taylor Premier Dealer and Gold Label Advantage Dealer.
