Marking a half-century of crafting premium acoustic guitars, the Taylor GS Mini-e Rosewood LTD 50th Anniversary 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.
