I agree; I played a Taylor GS mini in a musicstore some time ago and was blown away by the sound. Crisp clear high and middle tones. You wouldn't expect that from a guitar this size. To me, it's the Martin of travel guitars.👍

Yeah it still amazes me to this day how they managed to construct an instrument with such a remarkable sound at an affordable price. It’s still expensive but manageable I reckon. Thanks for watching 🤘🏼

Such an awesome guitar. I finally bought one after playing it at my local shop. Wonderful sound, feel, size, I honestly don't think I could find anything bad about it. It's truly a remarkable guitar at a great price point.

my dad blessed me with the same gs mini for christmas today, and this guitar is freaking awesome. the size is spectacular, im on the smaller side and it feels like it was sized just for me.. and the sound its superb. you can hear all the highs and the lows so evenly, it really is that more entertaining to play and listen to. this guitar is the first "nice" acoustic ive owned and nothing ive had before can compare

I’ve had my mahogany for over 10 years now. It’s my most played guitar. It sounds good and I can plug it in, but it’s not so expensive that I can’t play it around kids and worry about it. It’s been all over the country with me because it’s so easy to travel with. Thanks for the video.

Nice review man. I just got one of these as a backup and also to teach my kids how to play guitar--the 3/4 size is perfect for smaller hands. But honestly, I love playing it so much myself! Probably the easiest guitar to play out of the 100 or so I've played over 30 years. I did get the "Mini-e" version so it can be plugged in at church--it sounds even better plugged in!

I agree with the Mahogany model. While the Koa and Rosewood models have flashier looks, the Mahogany hits the spot for the intended purpose of the GS Mini. A grab and go campfire, party, couch guitar that cuts just right. Try one!

Hey! Great review! I’m very tempted, I’ve only been playing for a year or so but really want a guitar that’s a step up and that’s my own so this looks perfect. Quick question - what’s the action like? I’m currently playing on one that’s quite high so looking for something a little lower, does this suit? If not I may have to get it set up. Thanks!
@bmas0206 ай бұрын
Hey thanks for watching. The action on mine is but high and you cannot have it adjusted. There’s no truss rod. It also depends if you are planning on just playing chords or lead as well. If it’s just the chords then it won’t matter too much. But if you’re planning on gigging and doing lead work then I would recommend a bigger size guitar. The GS Mini has an excellent sound but it’s a small size guitar which I like to just play on the couch or while out and about traveling. The small bodied guitars also works better using a medium gauge strings. This gs comes with medium gauge set and it sounds great with it but be mindful the strings are thicker. The sound as I say it in my video is absolutely amazing. And so is the quality. It sounds better than the slightly expensive Taylor 100 and 200 series and some 300 series guitars. But you can’t adjust the action on this because there is no truss rod. Hope this helps your question.

No, I didn’t change the strings. And I think Elixir medium gauge strings are compatible with the small size guitar. For some reason it works better. You can try the light gauge set and see how you go.

I used to own a GS Mini (sold it about 5 days ago). I didn't find the sound to be my cup of tea. Plus it was impossible for me to find a position where I could rest my right arm comfortable on the body and I'm only 5'11. Oh well. I settled for a Seagull S6 instead and I'm loving how much brighter/comfier it is to play.
