      Been looking at the GS Mini for a long while now. But, yet to pull the trigger. Are you based in KL? Certainly look forward to chat more on your ownership of the GS Mini. Thanks!

    Managed to get an Edge Burst all Mahogany GS Mini 😍 but was tempted by the tone of the Ziricote. They are amazing and my premium acoustic guitars are going to be neglected for a while as the GS Mini is so good and fun to play. I swapped out the plastic bridge pins for a set of Tusq bridge pins (black with abalone dots) - looks awesome and definite improvement in openness and sparkle.

    The back and sides are the same on all the models, the only slight difference being the very thin OUTSIDE layer of laminate wood. As for which one; Mahogany electro for me.

    I've had a GS Mini Mahogany for 3 years. The sound is amazing, so amazing that I had no idea just how bad the set up was until I had taken it to a professional to give it a good clean.
    As for the Elixir gauge 13 strings, are not great for a beginner, really did not progress my playing.
    I actually now use Martin gauge 12 Eric Clapton strings, sound bette and far easier to play than the Elixir strings.
    Yes believe it or not you can use Martin strings on a Taylor guitar. Have no idea why Taylor insist on using the Elixir strings. I fell for that marketing myth for 2 years
    Thankfully my Taylor GS Mini has never sounded better

    Elixir strings required for the short scale with the bass version. I get it. How about the six string? I have a Taylor acoustic, but my wife who wants to play acoustic guitar finds it to be a bit too big.... bringing me to research these things. I have an affinity for mahogany resonance, especially solid mahogany (think 50s and 60s Gibson electrics), which these budget instruments probably don't possess. My Taylor has some kind of mahogany laminate sides and back, with a solid spruce top. All said, we're both in our sixties, and I just picked up the guitar again for the first time in well over a decade, and the better half wants to perhaps play. I had to change strings anyway, so put nickel electric 13-52s on the thing for bend and playability, and am not unhappy with the slight loss of tone, since I won't be playing anything in public at this point. I just want guitars I (we) can play. I suppose I should play the variants to compare tonal quality (which would differ using nickel strings anyway), but there's not a guitar store within 100 miles. I guess I'm asking but not asking for recommendations. The Koa is beautiful, of course, and no piezo pickup necessary to shape sound, in our situation. Whatever we decide upon will be on a stand in a corner with others regardless. Thanks for your review. Pretty instruments and nice playing.

      mini maton cant beat gs mini, because of its smaller, i agree that koa plus gs mini is have more low, clarity and loud.

      People doing reviews like these are simply giving you a comparison of the tonal qualities of the wood used in guitar build to the best of their abilities and recording technology. Different music or even different octaves on different instruments would not be a fair comparison. The exact musical passage is the only way to make the comparison. There's nothing sad about it, because it's not a recital or concert. It's just information to help the viewer to decide on an instrument. What's sad is that you and a few others want a concert. Pay for those performances. You'll never play anyway.

    Nice guitars that were very nice trees in Africa. Guitars are cheap nowadays because China is devastating tropical forests there, at a speed you can not imagine. They pay peanuts tu cut down one-hundreds-years giants, with square kilometres concessions. A nightmare. Try to buy second hand guys

      Exactly, plus there’s the fact that Taylor doesn’t have anything to do with China. They are an American company with guitar production facilities only in the US and Mexico.
      That being said there is no doubt that China is ruining the world and anyone who is buying Chinese made products when the option exists to buy the same type of product from another country of origin is just contributing to the problem. It is unfortunate that in many product categories we no longer have a choice, but in music gear fortunately will still have the option. Therefore, we need to make sure we do everything we can to keep that option available.

    I got a free rosewood ga mini with the black pickguards. I honestly don’t like it, I kinda preferred the sound of the academy Taylor for some reason. What a shame I can’t exchange it anymore. Wish I’d had taken the academy with the carve out for you arm. Very nifty add on.
