Taylor Ben Harper GS Mini-e Special Edition

Building on the successful launch of the Ben Harper Gold Label 512e Grand Concert earlier this year, we’re excited to share another collaboration with the GRAMMY-winning singer-songwriter and guitarist: a GS Mini model that reflects his distinctive visual style and affinity for compact, expressive acoustics.

Big Sound, GS Mini Comfort

This unique take on the beloved GS Mini features a solid top of torrefied Sitka spruce, delivering a bold midrange response with added warmth and sweetness from Taylor’s roasting process. Medium-gauge strings add sonic heft, while ES2 electronics provide amplified tone for live performance or recording.

The slender Taylor neck and 1-11/16-inch nut width offer a relaxed fretting feel, complementing the guitar’s compact, lap-friendly profile. Its scaled-down frame makes it well suited to travel, small gigs, campfire jams, everyday practice and songwriting.

Finish & Appointments

The Ben Harper GS Mini-e Special Edition references the look of his Gold Label model, with a custom shaded edgeburst top, cream pickguard and cream-and-black rosette. Additional appointments include a gloss-finish body, matte-finish neck, traditional 4 mm Italian acrylic dot inlays, chrome tuning machines, a custom-designed interior label and a structured gig bag.
