Review: I love, love this guitar. I'm no proffesional but both my sons play so we have several guitars in our home and as players we range from novice to pro. My oldest son plays and performs in public, but when he comes home he always grabs my Taylor. And always remarks what a great tone it has for a smaller guitar. I ordered this because I am petite and have much smaller hands than my sons and I wanted something smaller and easier to play and learn on (and also hoping my boys wouldn't claim it as their own.) It looks beautiful and sounds wonderful. It's a favorite by all of the pickers in our home. And the size is perfect for me (smaller hands) and for traveling. I was a bit nervous to order this from desertcart, but I always rely on reviews and this didn't dissapoint. If you have a beginner in the house or a younger player with smaller hands, or just want a great sounding travel guitar I highly recommend!!! Review: Expensive, but really good quality. It really projects due to a clever design of having a bigger sound hole and a bevel in the rear. Potential buyers should be aware that the neck is really quite thin. It's very easy to mute strings unintentionally due to the thin neck. I have thin fingers too - the Elixir strings [that come with it] are also coated, so it is partly that fingers can kind of slide off the strings. The coating on these strings is impressive, I mean these strings really last; I bought this guitar some time ago before writing this. Soundwise, I recommend going on Youtube (or a guitar store) and seeing what they sound like. The GS mini comes in a few different wood types, so make sure you get the sound you want. They all have great sounds. The travel bag is really good too, light but well padded. The action standard is good, and the frets are quite big. So it's quite an easy guitar to play I find. I think this guitar would really shine for young people or women with small hands. This is such a good acoustic guitar if you've got small hands. I can play it fine with my hands, it's an adult guitar, but I play it and wish its neck was just slightly bigger. ## Features - Grand Symphony Mini - Mahogany solid - Laminated Sapele base and ribs - Black binding - X x Style bracing ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B007IVUOXM | | Back Material Type | Sapele | | Body Material Type | Sapele | | Brand Name | Taylor | | Color | Mahogany | | Connector Type | 1/4" jack (6.35mm) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (232) | | Fretboard Material Type | Ebony Wood | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00841060045279 | | Guitar Bridge System | Fixed | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | Piezoelectric pickup | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Included Components | Crate | | Instrument | Guitar | | Item Dimensions | 45.7 x 106.7 x 20.3 centimeters | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 45.7L x 106.7W x 20.3H centimeters | | Item Weight | 11 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Taylor | | Manufacturer Part Number | GS MINI MAH | | Material Type | Mahogany Wood | | Model Name | GS Mini | | Model Number | GS Mini Mahogany | | Neck Material Type | Sapele | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Scale Length | 23.5 | | String Material Type | NuBone | | Top Material Type | Ebony,Mahogany,Sapele | | UPC | 841060045279 | ## Product Details - **Back material type:** Sapele - **Body material:** Sapele - **Brand:** Taylor - **Colour:** Mahogany - **Top material type:** Ebony,Mahogany,Sapele ## Images ![GS Mini Mah Western Guitar - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zxYN0zxfL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do you guys ship them as in ready to use ? or will I have to do all the initial setting?** A: The guitars are checked and if needed a setup is done, so when you get the guitar, it will be ready to go out of the box, with the only thing you may have to do is tune it. **Q: Does this guitar come with a hard gig bag or soft gig bag?** A: The GS Mini comes with a Taylor gig bag. It's a soft, padded bag but a really sturdy one. **Q: What kind of polish should I use for the body?** A: Lemon oil is not typically used on the body of guitars. Save the lemon oil for the fretboard. Any type of commercial polish will work (like the Dunlop mentioned) and one small bottle will last years. **Q: Do the taylor gs mini or martin jr have better resell value, sorry serious question.. i am just not sure if i can commit to play (again) but will try!** A: I do not know about resale value of Taylor vs. Martin guitars. I own an Taylor mini and love it. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***Y on 10 November 2018* I love, love this guitar.

I wanted a guitar with a really great sound, because I see it as an essential component to developing an appreciation for music. If it doesn't make a quality sound, what is there to appreciate after all??? I'm sure a lot of people would find this a waste of money for a child, but I believe learning on toys is a big part of why kids quit so often... So, I trusted the reviews I read here on Amazon, and continued my research on YouTube. This travel sized guitar was a bit larger than the standard kids guitars (glorified toys...), but manageable for my average sized 7 year old son. This guitar can be heard from one side of the house to the other. The sound is beautiful, and really makes the pay off for him hitting his notes immediate. He loves it. I am extremely happy with this purchase. If you are unsure, I suggest looking up videos reviews of the baby Taylor, as well. This one is more likely to be used into adulthood, as a travel guitar, but the baby Taylor's reviews are good as well. ## Frequently Bought Together - Taylor GS Mini Mahogany GS Mini Acoustic Guitar , Sapele, Mahogany Top - Amazon Basics Adjustable Folding Guitar Stand, A-shape, Fully Assembled - For School Music Program, Concerts & Multiple Users, Black - WINGO Guitar Capo for Acoustic and Electric Guitars - Rosewood Color with 5 Picks --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/388250178-gs-mini-mah-western-guitar](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/388250178-gs-mini-mah-western-guitar) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
