As part of our limited Stio (ft. Taylor Guitars) collab, Stio Ambassador and local Jackson legend Jeff Leger transformed this GS Mini Guitar with original artwork of the jackalope, Stio’s elusive and scrappy unofficial mascot, which has a curious way of capturing the imagination.

Every Stio Mountain Studio dedicates a spot in the corner to a certain guitar—not just any old six-string, but one created by the talented artisans at Taylor Guitars. It’s a tribute both to our founder Sulli’s passion for plucking the strings, and to all the times when music has forged connections across campgrounds and tailgates with friends and strangers alike. This original design appears on a made-to-order Taylor GS Mini, chosen for its rich, resonant voice, impeccable quality standards and compact proportions that travel easily and fit any environment, from the cabin to the campfire to the back “porch” of an adventure van. This right-handed guitar comes with a lightweight structured gig bag equipped with internal and external pockets, a pair of handles, and built-in, adjustable backpack straps for easy portability.
