Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around Taylor’s compact GS Mini profile, the GS Mini-e Koa Plus pairs a solid Hawaiian koa top with layered koa back and sides in a right-handed six-string acoustic-electric format. Its 23-1/2-inch scale and smaller body make it suited to extended playing and transport-focused use. Plug in through the Expression System 2: the behind-the-saddle transducer uses adjustable sensors, with onboard volume, active bass, treble, and phase controls. A Taylor AeroCase is included for carrying the guitar.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Travel and other transport-focused playing where a smaller GS Mini body is useful
- Stage or recording setups needing onboard volume, bass, treble, and phase adjustment
- Longer playing sessions supported by the guitar’s smaller body size
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players
- Players who need a cutaway body
