Hi. Name is Vin and I started my passion with acoustic guitars about 3 1/2 years ago as physical therapy for the Duyputren's Contracture I have in both my hands. Having a dread and 3 concert guits, I wanted a travel sized ax, mostly to play on the couch, and after much research I decided on the GS Mini hog, my first Taylor. Am very happy with it, to say the least. Great tone and volume, especially for being so small.
