    • This is a great guitar
This guitar sounds so freaking awesome, I cannot stand it! When I first got this guitar, I was disappointed because it had varnish issues that made it seem like it was not a $1,000 guitar, but a B-stock guitar. I was set on returning it. The guitar played and sounded nice that first day. A few days later, I visited Guitar Center, and I found that varnish issues are typical for this guitar. Still disappointed in this. And the more I play this guitar, the better it sounds. I will say that this guitar sounds so damn good! ... show more

    • I've always loved the sound of a good acoustic
Here, for a change, is a non-expert review (kind of). I've been playing for decades, but almost exclusively on electric guitars. I've always loved the sound of a good acoustic, but hated playing them. Too big and boxy, too hard to play Iron Maiden solos--you get it. This guitar is the perfect size for me, no grinding into the rib cage, and the playability is ridiculous. The action is very easy, perfect for solo picking, plus it strums like a champ. The sound that comes out of the guitar is the real story, though. I don't know how they did it, but acoustically it sounds like a much bigger guitar--one that happens to have amazing tone. The electronics are very good and the plugged-in sound is outstanding. I tried a friend's mahogany version and almost bought one of those but wound up ordering the koa version after reading reviews. Glad I did--as good at the mahogany GS Mini was, I think it's worth the money for the koa version--it just has that extra texture to the sound, more depth and sparkle at the same time. Materials and build are top-notch and it even comes with a really awesome rigid softcase. This is a ridiculous value for seven and a half bills. Highest recommendation. ... show more

    • but I think it's still a good looking guitar
Review Image by MBB
Bought this guitar to have something to play while working for a year in Kuwait. I was nervous having it sent through the mail, but I was surprised at the amount of packaging it arrived in. The guitar was in it's padded case and then molded foam was packed around that and there wasn't a ding on the guitar when I unpacked it. I didn't get the prettiest top, but I think it's still a good looking guitar. Pros: 1. This thing is loud. I played it in my room and was afraid I was annoying the neighbors. 2. Great tone. It's different than my Martin D-15, but I really like it's sound! 3. Very attractive wood. Cons: 1. I have massive hands and this guitar is a little hard for me to play, but I'll get used to it. (Not the guitar's fault!) 2. Strings. I believe they are mediums and I prefer lights. Easy fix. ... show more

Got the guitar used from amazon warehouse in very good condition. Shipping was fast and came in original packaging. The guitar was in its own soft case when I opened it and was like new with no damage on the guitar at all. Fantastic sounding and looks great! The fret broad was very comfortable for my small hands. The guitar that came was a 2018 version with the ES-B pickup instead of the ES-2 on older versions, which comes with an on board tuner but one less tone button. The ES-B uses two button batteries instead of a 9V. The action was slightly low on the guitar as typical for the Gs mini from what I have read, which makes it a little easier to play. Cons: plastic saddle, nut and bridge pins ( replaced mine with ebony with abalone dot) Little crowded in higher frets Laminate koa sides and back, not much flame on the solid koa top on the one I received ... show more

    • The Koa is an over-priced guitar that you will absolutely love to play
$1000 for a mini guitar with layered Koa back and sides? It’s way too much. I could have spent a bit more for an all solid-wood guitar. Even the Martin 000-10e is all solid wood and made in Mexico like the Taylor. But every time I picked one up, I loved it. It’s an over-priced Taylor that sounds great, and you’ll want to play. ... show more

    • Beautiful Rich sound and design
The BEST quality as expected from Taylor, in a small compact beautiful body. The tone is rich with deep, lasting resonance. This new model has a built in tuner which is great!!! Crafted in Tecate at Taylor’s beautiful manufacturing headquarters and hand signed. This guitar exceeds expectations!!!

    • Quality guitar!
I really like this small guitar. Other reviewers have expressed concerns about the guitar strap and the electronics sharing the same space on this guitar's body. I don't really care about that, as I don't use a strap. So, I love this guitar! It's loud, it's fun, it sounds great, too!
