Music?\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuying Pre-Owned can make a quality Taylor electro-acoustic considerably more accessible while still providing the feel, portability and electronics that have made the GS Mini so popular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA carefully owned Excellent-condition GS Mini is particularly practical because this is fundamentally an instrument designed to be played, travelled with and kept close to hand rather than treated purely as a display piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Pre-Owned instrument at Fair Deal Music is individually checked and assessed

Sunburst\u003c\/strong\u003e is easy to understand once you play one: it manages to feel genuinely compact without sacrificing the impression that you are playing a proper acoustic guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe torrefied spruce top gives it a strong acoustic foundation, while the rosewood appearance and Sunburst finish make this version particularly attractive. Add ES-B electronics, a built-in tuner and the supplied gigbag and it becomes an extremely practical all-round acoustic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest suited for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Home players, singer-songwriters, travelling musicians and anyone wanting a comfortable compact electro-acoustic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCustomers usually upgrade from:\u003c\/strong\u003e Entry-level acoustics, Baby Taylor models and basic travel guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMost commonly paired with:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acoustic amplifiers, PA systems, loopers, acoustic preamps and recording interfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Don’t automatically fit very light strings because of the compact dimensions. The GS Mini is designed around comparatively substantial strings, which help the short scale produce a fuller acoustic response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShowroom feedback:\u003c\/strong\u003e The GS Mini’s biggest strength is that its small size feels like an advantage rather than a compromise.
