I just received today my
first impulse guitar purchase. (I know what caused it, after my last purchase, I declared publicly it might be... my last guitar purchase.) Oh well.
I have always thought I could use a travel guitar, given we have a place at the beach and usually not a lot of room to pack a full size guitar and also not having an inexpensive acoustic that I'm not afraid of dinging up or having to worry about. I've come to quickly love the sounds and look of Koa with my K24ce and this all Koa GS Mini FLTD recently introduced caught my attention. (Yes, aware the sides and back are Koa laminate.)
So one night last week I was surfing the web and just stumbled on to this. Just sat there looking at it thinking, can that guitar really look that nice? Can the flame on the back of that GS Mini really be that awesome? I stepped away, but when I came back, it was there, staring at me. Telling me, "you can send me back if you don't think I'm all you hope I would be...."
Mashed a few buttons (as we say in the South) and voila, a few days later it shows up.
Sounds and plays great, I don't know that I can add anything that hasn't already been said about GS Minis. And I don't have much knowledge of the others to compare the sound with them unfortunately. As you can see, it has the ES-T pickup/preamp system, but haven't tried it yet.
But I do know I can't stop smiling when I look at it and play it....
