Taylor GS Mini Acoustic Travel Guitar
Taylor GS Mini Mahogany Acoustic Guitar (Natural)
Taylor GS Mini Mahogany Lefthand
Thanks to its compact design, the Taylor GS Mini Rosewood is excellent for use on the road. Despite its small size, the acoustic guitar produces a powerful and mid-rich sound that unfolds quickly and broadly. In addition, the short neck allows an easy grip in all 20 frets, which intonate cleanly with the help of finely crafted hardware. A thick padded bag is included and protects the instrument perfectly from shocks.
The GS Mini gets its name from its roundish construction, which corresponds to the proportions of the Taylor Grand Symphony. In order to develop a full-bodied sound despite the small construction, the instrument is built very light. A solid Sitka spruce top thus provides powerful midrange frequencies, while an arched, laminated rosewood body enriches the basses with a warm note. At the same time, a flat Sapele neck with an ebony fingerboard guarantees an exceptionally comfortable playing experience.
The characteristic Taylor headstock features chrome-plated die-cast tuners that ensure precise tuning of the 6 steel strings. In addition, a Micarta bridge inlay and a 42.8 mm wide Nubone nut ensure very precise intonation over the entire scale length. The rather simple matt lacquered instrument is rounded off by a generous tortoise-shell pickguard and a three-ring soundhole rosette, which is perfectly matched to the 4 mm dot inlays in the fingerboard.
Taylor GS Mini RosewoodTaylor is my dream acoustic guitar brand. And I always like the versatility and sound of a GS Mini in all versions: Mahogany, Spruce and also, Koa. Mine is Spruce 100% acoustic.
It is worth to mention some details about how to extract the best sound of it:
1. The recommended string gauge is .13. Pay attention to all demos and YouTube video reviews. All of them use .13 string gauge. I recommend Elixir 16182 Phosphor Bronze Nanoweb HD Light Acoustic Strings 13-53. You can find here https://www.musicstore.de/en_DE/EUR/Elixir-16182-Phosphor-Bronze-Nanoweb-HD-Light-Acoustic-Strings-13-53/art-GIT0030955-000
2. For recording use two mics to get the best of it. See some youtube videos how to do it.
3. Increase the playability using a light strings. See the link in item 1.
Pros
1. Excellent full sound. Easily mistaken for a full body western guitar because of the sound.
2. Highly portable
3. Excellent satin finish
4. Despite the size the playability is awesome with a more lighter string set
5. Despite to be not recommended to play on the sofa, it is so easy play on the couch with this guitar. Kinda made for it.
6. Comes with a well made not so soft bag, but still bag.
Cons
1. Price, little bit steep
2. The back of the guitar is arched or little bit rounded. I’m sure this is by design to increase the resonance of the instrument but in some circumstances the guitar slips when playing it.
