mini delivers
By ljs
I bought the Mini to replace a Baby Taylor. It is a better guitar than the Baby Taylor I had, which I really liked for itssound quality and easy action. The Mini is a slightly different box. It plays easily as do most Taylors, deliversa pretty substantial bass for such a small guitar and intonates well. Flatpicking seems to bring out itssonant qualities and there is good separation between strings and between notes. It doesn't break upor sound like a collection of indistinct tones as some smaller boxes might when pushed. The Taylor gigbag is excellent as it was and is for the Baby Taylors. For the Mini it includes a neck support, a good safetyfeature. Taylor markets a pickup for this guitar and I could see using it in performance, but I will keepmine at home, right next to my bed, to pick up and play when a musical idea comes along. I recommendthe guitar to anyone looking for a decent travel size guitar with a big guitar feel. I won't give it five starsbecause the woods used are not high quality, and seem a little on the thin side (which gives it a biggersound, but makes it more prone to damage or climatic factors). But overall, a decent and enjoyable guitarat a good price.Disclosure: I have smallish hands, so I like the reduced scale. Those with bit mitts might find it alittle harder to play the Mini.

Great Little Guitar!
By David Futrell
The GS Mini is a terrific little instrument. Because of the Grand Auditorium shape, it doesn't look like a toy (e.g.,the Baby Taylor). The intonation is spot-on and with the short scale, it feels much "faster" than a full-sized guitar.The sound is not as full or rich as a regular-sized Taylor, but what it lacks in subtlety, it makes up in volume...it's amazingly loud for a miniature guitar.The gig bag is well made and has backpack straps, so there's no reason to leave it behind when you travel. I've had mine for about 3 weeks, and I haven't touched either of my full-sized guitars since I got it. It's really fun to play.My only reservation would be to guitarists with exceptionally large hands or fingers. The fingerboard can get a little crowded.Highly recommended and a great value.

Finally received my GS Mini (Which had been on order for 2 months) and it was worth the wait.I own a number of full-sized taylor guitars (a T5 and a 612-CE) and was looking for a lower-cost acoustic I could throw in the car and take with me when traveling.The GS mini comes with a nice soft-case (a step-above a gig bag IMHO) that has shoulder-straps and a big pocket on the front for tuner, cables, music, etc...The guitar itself is a reduced scale, yet doesn't feel like a "toy" or kids guitar. The sound is impressive. Maybe not a s deep or rich as a full-sized GS or Dreadnought, but plenty full for its size.The guitar arrived with basically a straight neck (no relief), which can cause some string buzz if you dig into it. But once the guitar acclimates to my house and the RH here in New England, I'll tweak the truss rod and give it a bit of relief.Very easy to play up and down the neck, and yet doesn't feel too cramped due to the reduced scale.All in all, for $500, this is a great guitar that I won't be afraid to drag with me on camping trips, airplanes, or wherever.
