Taylor GS Mini-e Special Edition Vintage Teal Burst

Overview

The Taylor GS Mini-e Special Edition Vintage Teal Burst gives the beloved GS Mini an elegant new personality, pairing its famously compact dimensions and approachable feel with a sophisticated burst finish and richly grained layered Indian rosewood back and sides.

Compared with the exuberant floral models in this special-edition collection, the Vintage Teal Burst takes a more refined approach. Its torrefied Sitka spruce top features a smooth teal shading transition into a darker edge, creating a striking vintage-inspired burst. A contrasting light-colored pickguard provides an additional visual accent, while the dark grain of the layered Indian rosewood back and sides reinforces the guitar’s premium-vintage aesthetic.

The GS Mini’s compact proportions make it exceptionally comfortable to hold and easy to transport without giving up the lively response players expect from a Taylor acoustic. The solid torrefied Sitka spruce top brings warmth and sweetness from the first strum, while the 23-1/2" scale length and slender Taylor neck make fretting relaxed and inviting.

A mahogany Taylor NT neck is paired with an ebony fingerboard and Italian acrylic 4mm dot inlays. X-bracing with a relief rout supports the guitar's acoustic response, while the 1-11/16" NuBone nut provides comfortable string spacing for a broad range of playing styles. The body and neck receive a matte finish that complements the understated character of the Vintage Teal Burst treatment.

The GS Mini-e is also ready to leave the living room. Taylor ES-B electronics provide onboard amplification for performance and rehearsal, while chrome tuning machines and D’Addario XS coated phosphor bronze medium strings complete the setup. A structured gig bag is included, making this special edition an appealing companion for travel, songwriting, rehearsals, and spontaneous performances.
