Introducing the Ben Harper GS Mini-e Special Edition -- the new artist edition delivers all the playing comfort and portability of the popular Mini, dressed in Ben’s preferred visual style.

A Beloved Artist Partnership, Revisited
Building on the successful launch of the Ben Harper Gold Label 512e Grand Concert earlier this year, we're excited to share an encore collaboration with the GRAMMY-winning singer-songwriter and guitarist: a GS Mini model that bears his distinctive visual character and reflects his 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, yielding a bold midrange response accented by a touch of aged-in warmth and sweetness from Taylor's proprietary roasting process. Medium-gauge strings lend a dash of sonic heft, helping this GS Mini deliver a sonic punch well above its modest size, while ES2 electronics provide pro-level amplified tone for live performance or recording.


A characteristically slender Taylor neck with an accommodating 1-11/16-inch nut width offers a breezy, relaxed fretting feel at any skill level, which beautifully complements the guitar s compact, lap-friendly profile. Its scaled-down frame also makes this model an ideal choice for travel, small gigs, campfire jams and everyday practice or songwriting sessions.

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