Review: Looks beautiful, sounds great and the perfect size!! - I love, love this guitar. I'm no proffesional but both my sons play so we have several guitars in our home and as players we range from novice to pro. My oldest son plays and performs in public, but when he comes home he always grabs my Taylor. And always remarks what a great tone it has for a smaller guitar. I ordered this because I am petite and have much smaller hands than my sons and I wanted something smaller and easier to play and learn on (and also hoping my boys wouldn't claim it as their own.) It looks beautiful and sounds wonderful. It's a favorite by all of the pickers in our home. And the size is perfect for me (smaller hands) and for traveling. I was a bit nervous to order this from desertcart, but I always rely on reviews and this didn't dissapoint. If you have a beginner in the house or a younger player with smaller hands, or just want a great sounding travel guitar I highly recommend!!!
Review: I like it better than my 2001 Martin 00028 Eric Clapton Acoustic......Really!!! - After playing this guitar for 6 months, I can tell you that this is hands down my favorite guitar! Those are tall words because I have a 2001 Martin 00028EC acoustic in pristine condition that will shortly be listed on Ebay. Before you start typing up your comments on how crazy I am , give me another sentence or two to explain. I have really small hands and can play the Taylor technically better than my Martin because the neck is much wider causing lots of buzz and unwanted sounds. Because I can "play" the mini better and more precise it sounds better to my ear. Yes, the Martin will play louder with more punch and articulation but for shear playing enjoyment, I really love the mini!! I leave it around my house on the sofa, on my bed, it its around and always within reach. I take it with me wherever I go and didn't breakdown in tears when I got my first ding. Its portable, playable and sounds absolutely amazing to my ear. If your a beginner about to make your first purchase, this is absolutely the guitar for you. If your advanced, you should go play one. I did make a few minor adjustments to "tweak" the guitar. Mainly I sanded the bridge to lower the playing action and changed out the nut to a zero fret nut which makes playing cowboy chords louder and crisp. Taylor must be selling a ton of these babies because they are now made in like 6 different styles. I hope Taylor contacts me to be their spokesperson for the "Old Guys with small hands market segment", because I want a GS Mini in KOA!!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you guys ship them as in ready to use ? or will I have to do all the initial setting?**
A: The guitars are checked and if needed a setup is done, so when you get the guitar, it will be ready to go out of the box, with the only thing you may have to do is tune it.

**Q: Does this guitar come with a hard gig bag or soft gig bag?**
A: The GS Mini comes with a Taylor gig bag.  It's a soft, padded bag but a really sturdy one.

**Q: What kind of polish should I use for the body?**
A: Lemon oil is not typically used on the body of guitars.  Save the lemon oil for the fretboard.  Any type of commercial polish will work (like the Dunlop mentioned) and one small bottle will last years.

**Q: Do the taylor gs mini or martin jr have better resell value, sorry serious question.. i am just not sure if i can commit to play (again) but will try!**
A: I do not know about resale value of Taylor vs. Martin guitars.  I own an Taylor mini and love it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love at first strum!
*by D***Y on March 3, 2019*

This guitar is freaking awesome! I am absolutely taken by this guitar well done Taylor. I bought this travel guitar just to play around the house so I could strap it on my shoulder and play troubadour while watching my kids play from room to room. It is nice and compact so I could just sling it onto my back and pick up my toddler if she falls down or gets into something she’s not supposed to. It surpassed my every expectation and I instantly fell in love with it. The tone is simply brilliant from such a small size guitar. Taylor really went all out in the quality and fine craftsmanship of the GS mini. The ebony fretboard and elixir strings are as smooth as velvet which makes for easy chord progressions. The only thing I would change if I could would be the nut size I have fairly fat fingers and the smaller nut size makes it a little difficult for me to get my fingering right. If Taylor would make a special edition with a larger nut size I would definitely buy that one too.
