Taylor GS Mini Rosewood Acoustic Guitar Natural

The small scale takes getting use to, but I'm loving getting use to it. This guitar rings on the high tones. Feels great and fun to play.

I bought this as a travel guitar. I've had others, Martin Backpacker, Applause Travel, whose sound was flat. I'd compare my prior experience with small travel guitars as sounding like a cigar box guitar. The GS Mini is unlike those. It has a great sound, when I pluck, I can feel the vibrations against my abdomen and chest - this is always a good sign. The scale is a bit short and bit cramped up around the 9th fret and beyond, barre chords are problematic after the 8th fret for my hands. I expect that from a small guitar. The sound is big across all strings. The Taylor gig bag is high quality and very protective. I would buy this again and again.

I recently rekindle my enjoyment for guitar playing after several years of not playing any instrument and I just discovered this amazing little guitar that makes playing so much fun. For me it's all about playing in the porch or the backyard by the fireplace with my family as audience and this a perfect guitar for that and so much more.

Great travel/couch guitar

I travel for a living so I take this guitar on the road and it's great entertainment at night in my hotel room.

It sounds good and feels good. My complaints are just minor and are related to the body. The neck feel great. I can see the pencil marks used to line up the label. There is excessive joint filler around the neck joint. The sanding around where the binding would be on the back has a defect that I can feel but it doesn't look too bad. Just don't like the way it feels. It was sanded too deeply in one spot. For the price, these defects just seem sloppy to me. Not a deal breaker but disappointing.
