{"product_id":"taylor-gs-mini-e-koa-plus-acoustic-electric-6201","title":"Taylor GS Mini-e Koa Plus Acoustic-Electric #6201","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Taylor GS Mini-e Koa Plus tops the GS Mini line with a solid Hawaiian koa top and layered koa back and sides carrying a shaded edgeburst finish, giving it the deepest color contrast in the series. It uses the same travel-scale body and X-Bracing as every other GS Mini — not the V-Class bracing on Taylor's full-size instruments — so it stays in the same tonal family as the rest of the line, just dressed up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKoa's compressed, midrange-forward character comes through clearly here, with a touch more sparkle on top than the standard GS Mini-e Koa thanks to the same tonewood pairing — the difference between these two models comes down to looks and electronics, not tone. It earns its keep on travel, practice, and backup duty: songwriting sessions, tour-bus downtime, campfire sets. It doesn't replace a full-size guitar for stage volume or projection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Koa Plus steps up the hardware with Taylor nickel tuners and nickel buttons in place of the standard die-cast chrome, and it swaps in Expression System 2 for the ES-B found on the standard GS Mini-e Koa — Taylor's more refined onboard system, still paired here with no pickguard. It ships in a rigid grey AeroCase instead of the gig bag that comes with the rest of the line, fitting protection for the nicer finish and hardware. Every GS Mini-e Koa Plus 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 the nicest GS Mini available with plug-and-play electronics and true portable protection, the GS Mini-e Koa Plus is the one to buy.\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.
