Taylor GS Mini-e Special Edition Sakuraburst

Originally created for the Japanese market and now available in extremely limited quantities here in the U.S., the Taylor GS Mini-e Special Edition Sakuraburst is a bold new take on one of the most popular guitars in the world. Named after the iconic Japanese word sakura (桜), meaning cherry blossom, this guitar blends eye-catching aesthetics with inspiring tone and playability.

The Sakuraburst finish features a unique fade from an opaque edge to a translucent center, showcasing the straight-grain detail of the solid torrefied Sitka spruce top. Paired with layered sapele back and sides, this Special Edition delivers a focused, balanced sound with impressive volume and a warm, broken-in character thanks to the torrefied top. Whether you're practicing at home, writing on the road, or performing on stage, this GS Mini is built to go wherever your music takes you.

Its compact body, shorter 23-1/2” scale length, and 1-11/16” nut width make it extremely comfortable to play, while the West African Crelicam ebony fretboard and bridge offer smooth, responsive feel. Outfitted with Taylor’s ES-B electronics and a built-in digital tuner, it’s performance-ready right out of the box. A deluxe padded gig bag is included.
