Overview
GS Mini-e Rosewood Plus
Watch VideoFeaturing aesthetic and functional upgrades from its standard counterpart, the GS Mini-e Rosewood Plus offers an elevated take on our ultra-popular small-scale acoustic-electric guitar. Back and sides of layered rosewood are paired with a solid Sitka spruce top to produce a bold, punchy voice that performs beautifully across genres and playing styles, while its portable size makes it a great choice for everything from lessons and campfire jams to open mic nights. Upgraded ES2 electronics produce clean, organic live sound through an amplifier or PA, while the nickel tuners and a gloss-finish body elevate the visual appeal. The GS Mini-e Rosewood Plus ships with a brown AeroCase that's remarkably durable despite its light weight.

Perfect for smaller guitarists!
I have had mine for over a year and it is top of the line! I have had trouble holding normal-sized acoustics because I am a smaller guy, but this one has it all: big sound, comfort, and great craftsmanship! It's perfect!

Amazing Little Guitar with a Big Sound
Oh My God! It looked amazing in the picture and looks even better in person. It plays and sounds better than many guitars that are more expensive. I especially bought it for the ES2 electronics that are far superior than the ESB. Personally I think that all Mini’s that have electronics should have ES2 and not ESB Pickup systems. She plays and sounds amazing out of the box. The new case is exceptional too. This is a guitar for the new player as well as a more seasoned player. She sure is pretty to look at to.

My Mini Taylor
I recently bought a mini Taylor at a special sales event at their factory. I like its compact design and ease of playing. It’s a good choice for just sitting around and doing some leisurely playing. I admit it doesn’t have the same sound quality as my 514ce, but considering the price difference it was a good investment.

Great sound from such a small frame. This is an amazing travel companion!
Great sound from such a small frame. I bought this to be my travel guitar as I can't always haul my full size around with me. It played the Mini-e Rosewood, Koa, and the mahogany. This little cat had the best sound by far. I then had to compare it with the other makes of similar size. This is by FAR the best sounding and best looking in its class. I'm a big dude and was worried about not being able to squeeze my fat mits up and down the fretboard. Not an issue. This plays beautifully. I have not plugged it in yet so I can't speak to the ES2 electronics but I can't wait to give that a try. The flight case that comes with it is just shy of bullet proof. The only way I can see this getting damaged in the case is if you run it over. Just don't do that and you'll be fine for many years.
