Taylor GS Mini Mahogany 5-stars Reviews

Not only a travel guitar

I decided to purchase the gs mini because i wanted a travel guitar in size without the thinness of sound that usually accompanies the smaller size.When i tested the mini i was very happy to found a perfectly setup guitar with great playability and tone.the volume output is more than enough for me(surprisingly so i might say) but expectably it does lack a bit compared to a 714 for example.I would highly recommend it not only to people looking for a travel guitar but also to those looking for their first acoustic guitar in general

Taylor GS Mini Mahogany

Amazing instrument for everyone really! does not matter if you are a beginner or pro, traveler or couch idler. You will spend many enjoyable hours with this guitar in your hand and become much better player for it.

Great guitar

The guitar is amazing. Great value for the price. There are just 2 slight cosmetic imperfections - one small recess (1-2mm) along the trailing edge at the back and the pickguard is glued slightly crooked (1-2mm). Compared to the value of the instrument this is nothing and if I just wasn't expecting perfection from Taylor, I would've given 5 stars everywhere.

Using it as my main guitar, no regrets

Warm sound, the spectrum is rich and full. I wasn't expecting that kind of sound quality given the size of the instrument.

I was a bit hesitating to buy it as my first and main folk guitar (electric guitar player here), but it easily compares with a thousand euro full-size guitar in my opinion.

Taylor sound quality from this perfect small body travel/ couch guitar!

If you are looking for the legendary Taylor quality of sound but either you mostly need a travel/ small body guitar or your budget is limited but you do not want to compromise on quality: look no further! GS Mini will meet all your expectations! Love at first sight and sound for me :-) and I could not enjoy more my come back to playing guitar daily on my living room coach after a very long break.

PROS:

- high build quality

- crisp (but not too much), full, warm (probably thanks to mohogany solid top) and unexpectedly loud sound this small body can produce

- easy to tune

- looks more expensive than its reasonably "tailored" price

- easy to plug with a dedicated pick-up (not included)

- Elixir bronze phosphor strings

- you can take it on board of any plane

CONS:

- bit expensive against its close competitors but see all PROs above

- if you need/ want to go "plugged", it seems more reasonable to invest into GS mini-e with the built-in higher end factory pick-up system rather than to invest EUR 100 into the GS mini dedicated pick-up (no equalizer).

You cannot go wrong here!
