Tonally, an all-mahogany acoustic will respond with an earthy sound that has long been associated with blues and other roots music. Players can expect a dark, throaty midrange punch when digging in, yet there's also an underlying sweetness in that same register that can complement a single-note line. Visually, we've created a look that evokes a throwback Americana style, starting with a traditional mahogany stain, which gives the guitar a luminous deep-red tint. Tortoise shell binding adds the perfect touch of color harmony, while white purfling and an abalone rosette supply crisp counterpoints.

The GS Mini was designed to be the ultimate musical companion, wherever you go - or stay. Inspired by the big, bold sound of Taylor's award-winning GS body shape, the GS Mini scales things down without skimping on sound, packing a lot of tone into a comfortable, portable size and giving you a guitar that's incredibly fun to play. With Taylor's patented NT neck, you'll always enjoy signature Taylor intonation and playability.

The Taylor GA3-12 represents a contemporary take on traditional 12-string design. It has full 12-string tone despite its more slender, hour-glass Grand Auditorium shape. Signature Taylor performance, quality, and value make their sapele/spruce acoustic guitars a great introduction to the solid-wood Taylor experience. The resulting combination provides the perfect guitar for strong, rhythmic playing styles.Although the Grand Auditorium body style has the width and depth of a dreadnought, its narrower waist gives it the appearance of a smaller instrument, adds treble "zing" across the guitar's tonal spectrum, sharpens the definition of individual notes, and rests more comfortably in your lap. With less mass from the width of the braces, the guitar top moves faster, resulting in a snappy, bell-like tone.
