    Very good guitar

    Taylor GS MiniPublished on 11/28/12 at 05:53
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    Made in Mexico.
    You can ask a microphone in the box, support is designed for.
    Small.

    UTILIZATION

    All of this guitar is very nice, the size, the handle, I have nothing to say about the ease of use and overall design of the instrument.

    SOUNDS

    It is suitable for many styles of music, pop, rock, blues, and more if you adapt your game
    She plans a lot, despite its small size, much more than other models of the same size.

    This can not be said not compare to a guitar with a body far more imposing, so that the sound can sometimes sound a bit muffled. Finally this is really picky.

    OVERALL OPINION

    OVERALL OPINION

    I used a few months because I did not have an acoustic guitar. Now making electronic music more than I did and I exchanged.
    I would do this choice if I try again an acoustic guitar.

    UTILIZATION

    The GS Mini is a nice little axe. It seems to be designed either as a terrific quality first instrument for budding young guitarists, or as a travel/camping guitar, or just as a guitar for smaller people in general. It certainly boasts the craftsmanship that the Taylor name should indicate, with excellent fit and finish, as well as fretwork. The string action was nice, and the shorter scale gave my big hands some great stretch chords that I usually can't play on standard-sized guitars. This guitar plays very well, and looks great doing it.

    SOUNDS

    This really is a good-sounding little guitar. I'd have given it an 8 if it was a touch louder, but the tone is fantastic. I look for volume capability in my acoustic guitars, as I want them to be able to keep up with other acoustic instruments should the occasion arise. This guitar may be a bit on the quiet side, so I'm not confident it could cut through in a multi-instrument setting. But this is what microphones and pickups are for, right? In a more intimate setting, this would be perfect.

    OVERALL OPINION

    This is a quality instrument from Taylor, and it hits the spot with the wallet as well; it's a great value in a sub-$500 guitar. Fingerstylists will enjoy the crystal clarity and rich mids coming from it, and the fact that it is a lot more portable than a standard guitar is an attractive feature. I'd recommend anyone to take a look at this guitar.

    This is a GS mini. It's a bit difficult to classify because it's small enough to be a travel guitar yet maybe big enough to sound like a good 000 esque fingerpicking guitar too. Made in Mexico I believe but you wouldn't even know if you played it.

    UTILIZATION

    There's no cutaway considering the size of this thing but it's not really meant for something like that anyway. It's a small body, quite comfortable, and yet thick so the tone is still quite good.

    The ES-GO pickup is quite convenient. Taylor made pickup that takes 5 minutes to put in and screw in and you're done. Very cool.

    SOUNDS

    For the size, it's quite thick! Most guitars approximately the same size usually sound thin and do not project. These GS minis are very suprisingly good, there's a lot of depth to the sound and it can project quite well. Of course it's nothing compared to a full size dreadnought guitar but for it's class of guitars it's quite good. I would basically consider this to be one of the best sounding travel guitars out there.

    It's thick and deep and projects.

    OVERALL OPINION

    A very unique guitar. Great for travelling with good quality sound. Or if you're one of those players whose got tons of different acoustics and wants to try something different and a little bit unique this may be it for you. I'd say it's good as a guitar to leave out and fiddle with on the couch sorta deal. For the price, including a custom gig bag and taylor made acoustic pickup? Pretty sweet deal I'd say!
