With a total length that’s just over 36 inches, the GS Mini is a perfect travel companion for road trips, subway rides, and even flights.

Full projection and rich sound





The Limited-edition GS Mini Sapele acoustic guitar’s big sound has made it an undisputed favorite among acoustic players of all stripes. Making little guitars isn’t hard ? what’s hard is obtaining quality volume and tone from that little guitar’s smaller wooden chamber. That’s where the GS Mini succeeds with its careful planning and features like an X-braced soundhole and premium tonewood selections. Whether you’re picking it up for the first or the hundredth time, the limited-edition GS Mini Sapele plays with a consistent clarity that’s hard not to love. Think of the GS Mini as a modern-day parlor guitar that's portable but retains the rich, full sound of a much bigger instrument.
