I have a GS Mini-e Koa Plus with a shaded burst finish, and I couldn't be happier. I've got it strung up with 13's and it sounds great. It can be a bit smaller for my over 6' friends, but I'm very comfortable with it. I use it mostly for chord work and rarely stray above the 10th fret, so I don't find it difficult to maneuver.
1/2/23. Just watched this the other day. Took your advice. I went out and picked up a gt on clearance for 1399. Got the Koa gs for the 299 add on. Got both for about the same as the gt retail. Playing the gt and its great. Koa gs, I'm not sure if I'll keep or sell it in the box yet. Great channel guys. Baxter, you pay for ambience. $8 for a pbr in the right dive. Worth every penny.
Very good review! I just bought a GS Mini and wasn't sure how it would compare to my Alvarez Mahogany guitar. The more I play it the more I like it. It has a really big sound for its size.
Beautiful! I’m really more of a Martin fan although I love all American made guitars ( Acoustic as well as electric ). These things must be a fantastic couch guitar and as tempting as these maybe I’m most probably still going to go with the 12 fret Martin 000-15SM ( not sure if that number’s right? But the one that’s the 12 fret w/mahogany back and sides with the slotted headstock 🤙 I think for around 1,700 that’s a,pretty good ‘Bang for the buck’ guitar and especially since I don’t own a 12 fret yet. Really dig the show you two, I watch it practically daily, thanks for all the great information you guys share with us!
One of the best guitars I own was a GS mini perfect couch Guitar you can leave it around and not worry about it too much , It sounds a whole lot bigger than what it is
Love the neck changes, body should have kept the body size and shape the same w solid woods … the body is what makes it so comfortable… great to see you playing together… great video
I'm 6'2" and I love my GS Mini Koa Plus. I gig with it and since I play both guitar and keyboards, my spot on stage is a bit crowded. I feel like a Mini gives me a bit more clearance in my space on the stage.
Oh man... I haven't had a jones for an acoustic since 2018, but that GT maple with the aged top, WOW! Baxter... your wife had your kids. She deserves the guitar she wants. Just sayin' Nice jam y'all. That was fun!
7-25-23 Taylor has the Sapele GS Mini on sale at this time for $500 minus the EZ Go pickup which is $100 more and install it yourself in 10 minutes if you want or need a pickup. No it's not a top of the line pickup but perfectly good for home playing or even busking. GREAT deal.
But Taylor is virtually the only competitor, in the history of their company, that has forced them to completely revisit and rethink everything they do…… You like your Martin because of Taylor’s uncredited influence……
I had a nice Taylor 317e (USA), picked it up used for a great price, sadly it had that odd 'note resonance' issue on the low G. GC was able to hook me up thankfully. I ended up picking up a Taylor Academy 10e (MIM)...holy crap, this guitar plays itself. Amazing sounding acoustically, great feeling, easy to play, and for the price nothing came close. To me it sounded better than guitars in the $1500 price range.
Same with me. I pick up the GS Mini before any other guitar. Mine is an older spruce top. I bought it for $350 mint used. Greatest achievement of Taylor for the money.
Played live and recorded with a GS mini, then financial occurrences made me sell my spruce one and then further down the line my mahogany one....I'm a stupid stupid man ... and I miss them, my couch even misses them ..
I’m a definitely a Taylor guy I own a 224 koa and is the best guitar I ever owned..that being said I also own a Alvarez in the size of the baby Taylor please do us a favor and compare the Alvarez with the Taylor you will not be disappointed the Alvarez is a real bang for your buck
For an all solid smaller bodied guitar, how do you guys think the Martin Dreadnought Jr. compares to the Taylor GT? I've had a Martin DJr.e. for about three years and am a big fan of it but haven't had the chance to try any of the GTs yet. Cool outro jam as well, would be good to have these included more often.
I have the 811E Great guitar , that sounds good with good bass response With the new bracing... Song writer studio guitar from heaven.. I prefer a deadnought for live use , but the 811E sounds good also live... Dosent really compare to the GS mini at all to me.. maybe body size is the only thing close in common..
I had a GS Mini and so badly wanted to love it, but I just couldn't get used to the 24" scale length. It was beautiful both visually and sonicly. My eyes and ears said yes, but my hands said no.
wild... came out in 2010... under $500... you could find them used for $300-$350 all day everyday... now they are $899.... and this grand theatre is $1500 plus... LOL LOL Bartender: that will be $8 for a pbr Baxter: That's ridiculous Baxter: $1500-$1600 for a gs mini style guitar.... perfectly acceptable !!!
I'll say it again here. A "GOOD" guitar has always been about a month's salary for the average American. The eastman stuff is good, but it's not a Taylor or Martin. I use this one on my kids all the time. Totally Cringeworthy, it makes them fold up like a cheap tent every time. Use with Caution. #DabMasterYeetBro!
Love hearing you guys play acoustic! More please (and thanks!)!
Loved that little ditty y'all were rocking at the end!!!🤘😎👍
You guys really can play! Sounds great.
One of my fave episodes yet !
Ok, fantastic...I'll go check them out, cheers
Nice ending, believe it or not. Baxter, Johnathan, you have skills.
Love my GS Mini Koa!! Great sound, plays nice. Last year around $699 was a good price. Can't go wrong.
Who's got two thumbs and loves Casino Guitars?
This guy.
rare look at Baxter and Jonathan playing together is awesome

I own a left handed version of the GS mini mahogany...I play it more than anything!! I love it!!
You two made my Monday morning thank you.
You guys should play together more that was great.
I am sitting on my couch with my CEO 7,it's a keeper! 00 Adirondack top, 1 3/4 nut,24.9 scale and all that is good about a Martin.
Great playing as usual
After playing so many guitars over the years I settled on just two now. Taylor & PRS. They're the only two companies I do business with now.
Nice jam!!

I have had a GS mini since 2014! I liked it so much that I sold all my other acoustics including my Martin D-15..
Beautiful guitars👍and Baxter,that's the look.Light beard with the sides shaved down.🤘talking bout hair-wise,looks good!!!
You guys should consider doing the playing-together thing more often. Well done.

When I tried the GS Mini, I was really impressed (even the bass was nice). There's just no way I can justify it when I have a Big Baby

One of my fav guitars!! Love the GT just wish they would’ve added a cutout for higher fret access
Oh man... I haven't had a jones for an acoustic since 2018, but that GT maple with the aged top, WOW!

Baxter, Baxter, Baxter... Get the lady anything she wants!
Those mini guitars will last a lifetime
I got a Taylor, then I swapped that for a Martin and now I am happy.
I love my Taylor, best guitar I've ever had. But one day I'll have my Martin.
@@216trixie great idea
You will enjoy the journey
But Taylor is virtually the only competitor, in the history of their company, that has forced them to completely revisit and rethink everything they do……

Very cool...

I have a mini that is my pick up and play guitar too. The GT may be a super mini but it still feels different.
Same with me. I pick up the GS Mini before any other guitar. Mine is an older spruce top. I bought it for $350 mint used. Greatest achievement of Taylor for the money.
Nice sales pitch. I will try a GT as soon as possible and send you the bill.
Played live and recorded with a GS mini, then financial occurrences made me sell my spruce one and then further down the line my mahogany one....I'm a stupid stupid man ... and I miss them, my couch even misses them ..
I have both a GS Mini with Koa top and a 611e LTD with the Mission inlays.
Which do you prefer?
We want GS mini basses made in the USA.
I’m a definitely a Taylor guy I own a 224 koa and is the best guitar I ever owned..that being said I also own a Alvarez in the size of the baby Taylor please do us a favor and compare the Alvarez with the Taylor you will not be disappointed the Alvarez is a real bang for your buck
Think I need a gs mini now. And there's nothing wrong with wearing g your had backwards I still do it from the 90s
I agree. At least a quick jam every episode.
Hey Baxter, my father's grandparents were named Martin and Washburn. Guess what guitars I own...
Got to love the superhero cafe. Because I’m Batman
I’ve had GS minis my whole young life. So let’s see what y’all got 😊
I have a 2003 Taylor 310 looks almost identical to the 1st GT Jonathan was holding. I love it, plays like butta ....🧈🎸
For an all solid smaller bodied guitar, how do you guys think the Martin Dreadnought Jr. compares to the Taylor GT? I've had a Martin DJr.e. for about three years and am a big fan of it but haven't had the chance to try any of the GTs yet.

😎 Thanks Casino ⚓️ ! CRAIGSLIST ! New guitar (used) DAY ! 🎸 Epiphone 1963 J-45/VS (2014) > $100 😎 I am a huge CL fan.
Looks like a ukulele on Jonathan 😄
I have the 811E
Great guitar , that sounds good with good bass response
With the new bracing...
Song writer studio guitar from heaven..
I prefer a deadnought for live use , but the 811E sounds good also live...
Dosent really compare to the GS mini at all to me.. maybe body size is the only thing close in common..
They are a perfect tool for songwriting and playing/practicing on the couch
Gs mini or gt if you had to pick miney not an issue?
GS Mini is great! Original songs with Taylor Guitars: th-cam.com/video/55NvFfUchuQ/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=DoubleHarvestDays
Mike Hawk!
Seems convenient
Do you guys buy used guitars?
This CAT, that CAT, CATS everywhere
Shush
I had a GS Mini and so badly wanted to love it, but I just couldn't get used to the 24" scale length. It was beautiful both visually and sonicly. My eyes and ears said yes, but my hands said no.
I agree also the nut width the gt is better.
What's wrong with it bozo
@@CocoKoi321 dumb comment
Don't they have one?
I gave up my GS mini Koa plus to buy a GTe Urban Ash. I have absolutely no regrets. I have nicer guitars, but the GT is just so fun and easy to play…
......and a Martin player would say???
Baxter, love ur wife bro. Chill
Can you deliver it to me that piece I love it Taylor gs mini I will buy if you could able to deliver it I'm from Indian, manipur
@8:55 Fucked up joke, bro
I hate the gs minis midrange tho
wild... came out in 2010... under $500... you could find them used for $300-$350 all day everyday... now they are $899.... and this grand theatre is $1500 plus... LOL LOL
Bartender: that will be $8 for a pbr
Baxter: That's ridiculous
Baxter: $1500-$1600 for a gs mini style guitar.... perfectly acceptable !!!
I personally hate the GT. Love the mini, and most full size. But the GT feels clunky.
Lol buy a gs mini and get a PBR for a penny!
I'll say it again here. A "GOOD" guitar has always been about a month's salary for the average American. The eastman stuff is good, but it's not a Taylor or Martin.
I use this one on my kids all the time. Totally Cringeworthy, it makes them fold up like a cheap tent every time. Use with Caution.
