Hand-Friendly Scaled-Down Body With Big Tone
The Grand Symphony body of the mini Taylor anniversary guitar is carefully downsized for comfort, making it perfect for players with smaller hands or those who prefer a more portable instrument. But despite its reduced proportions, this guitar produces impressively bold and balanced tone that belies its size. The comfortable neck scale length lets you easily maneuver chords and melody lines. Whether strumming or fingerpicking, you'll appreciate how the mini Taylor projects with remarkable richness and articulation.
Vintage-Inspired Torrefied Spruce Top Provides Rich Articulation
This mini Taylor guitar has eye-catching vintage vibe with its torrefied spruce top in a custom sunburst finish. The torrefaction process gives the spruce top an amber patina, as if it's been played for years. As a result, you get superb vintage character with enhanced resonance and sustain. The spruce produces clear and articulate tone across the tonal spectrum. Combined with the thin matte finish that allows free vibration, this guitar sounds beautifully rich and "played in" right out of the case.
Warmth and Punch From Layered Indian Rosewood Back and Sides
The layered Indian rosewood back and sides look stunning with their chocolate and caramel hues that complement the vintage sunburst spruce top. Beyond aesthetics, the rosewood adds tonal depth and dimension. You get strong low-end punch, clear midrange attack and shimmering highs. Together with the torrefied spruce top, the rosewood creates a voice that's balanced and nuanced—ideal for fingerstyle playing or rhythmic strumming.
Plug in the Taylor ES2 Pickup System for Amplified Versatility
The Taylor ES2 pickup system lets you amplify your mini Taylor on stage or in the studio. Taylor's patented behind-the-saddle pickup accurately conveys the guitar's natural tone. The professional-grade preamp provides control over volume, bass and treble so you can shape your amplified sound. Whether using a PA, acoustic amp or recording interface, you'll appreciate how faithfully the ES2 captures your guitar's authentic acoustic voice.
Special 50th Anniversary Touches Make It Collectable
With its commemorative 50th anniversary label and stylish appointments like the diamond acrylic fingerboard inlays, gold tuners and faux tortoise pickguard, this mini Taylor guitar is a special collectable instrument. It comes in a limited run of only 1,974 pieces worldwide in honor of Taylor's founding year. The included Taylor gig bag lets you transport your anniversary acoustic safely to gigs and recording sessions.
