NGD the mini that finally made it home for good!
« on: May 10, 2014, 07:33:51 PM »
So I went down to my local Taylor shop and played the mini that restarted my mini fever awhile ago. This was the only mini for me. Great playability, looks beautiful and I love the warm tone. Here's the new mini that finally made it home with me to stay.  :D

I don't know why I wig out sometimes when buying a guitar. Most of of the time I'm very normal :)

Congrats! I heard the GS Mini is one of the most popular sizes in the Taylor line. Must be mighty comfortable to play...

Congratulations Lizzy.  It looks very nice, love the color.  I think it would look good with a black pick guard also. After you have had some time to play please give us a critique.

Lizzy, my own experience with exactly the same Mini is that she is the absolute perfect parlor guitar and the best medicine you could get yourself to keep up the fever. Keep it high and you'll be fine! No doctor needed  :).

I also went through a few minis - all Sitka tops - until I found the Mahogany top as well.  The added warmth and the mid push really brings this model up the scale.


Congrats and enjoy!!!!
