Taylor Guitars 4 Vets GS Mini Americana Special Edition Acousitc Guitar - Custom Artwork

The GS Mini Americana Special Edition celebrates Taylor’s ongoing partnership with Guitars for Vets (G4V), a nationwide nonprofit organization that brings healing and renewal to United States veterans through music education. Pairing patriotic aesthetics with the bold voice of Taylor’s most beloved small-bodied acoustic, this limited-edition model features a torrefied Sitka spruce top with sapele back and sides, delivering tonal punch and resonance far beyond its size. A neo-tropical mahogany neck with Taylor’s signature carve and a sleek ebony fingerboard ensure smooth playability and agile fretwork. The result is an exceptionally full sound that guitarists trust for everything from hearty strums to delicate fingerpicking and ringing arpeggio passages. Finished with custom artwork, a weathered sepia motif, and a subtle edgeburst fade, the GS Mini Americana Special Edition stands as a fitting instrument to honor the brave men and women who have served the land of the free.

Taylor cemented its legacy by crafting innovative instruments born out of a classic heritage, and the GS Mini Americana Special Edition is no exception. This GS Mini is built with premium tonewoods, including a solid Sitka spruce top, layered sapele back and sides, a mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard for acoustic tone that’s familiar and rich at both ends of the neck. In fact, the GS Mini Americana Special Edition boasts a torrefied spruce top for enhanced resonance and added top strength. Similar to combinations of spruce and mahogany, materials used in the GS Mini deliver a classic tone that’s full-bodied, smooth, and suitable for practically any style of music. Whether you strum open chords or fingerpick, the GS Mini Americana Special Edition's authentic tonewoods deliver exceptional character and sustain while adding durability and unmatched aesthetics.

The GS Mini Americana Special Edition features a scaled-down version of Taylor's popular Grand Symphony body shape. With a 23.5-inch scale and a total length of just over 36 inches, the GS Mini is a perfect travel companion for road trips, flights, and other excursions. Though more compact than a traditional Grand Symphony model, the GS Mini Americana Special Edition provides a full-scale sound with rich harmonics, lush tones, and confident projection.

Guitars for Vets is a national organization dedicated to supporting veterans living with PTSD and other service-related challenges. Through free 10-week guitar courses, G4V harnesses the restorative power of music and community to help veterans heal. With September marking National Suicide Prevention Month, Taylor will donate a portion of the proceeds from every GS Mini Americana Special Edition to strengthen G4V’s PTSD treatment and suicide-prevention initiatives for US veterans. At Ted Brown Music, we’re proud to stand alongside Taylor and G4V in honoring those who have served and in recognizing the life-changing impact of music.
