I know people have been asking for this for years, and Taylor ain't having it. But I'm going to make my case any way...
Let's remake the marketing image of the mini. It IS the Taylor parlor guitar. It's a well made, versatile instrument worthy of stage use that is also a good fit for those with smaller stature, makes a great couch guitar, and is a wonderful travel companion. All for a pocketbook friendly price. Push the line up a bit.
Start by loosing the lexan laminate on the head. Why not go with the same look as is used on the 100 series?
Offer a 1 3/4 nut width neck as a field install option. Possibly make that neck the default on Mahogany tops for finger pickers.
Let's see a cedar top model.
Finally, my wish list topper. A Mahogany on Blackwood SEB with that 3/4 neck. I might break my hand getting my card out....
Am I alone?
