How Many and What Types of GS Mini's Do We Have?
« on: April 16, 2014, 05:19:17 PM »
Since many of us own GS Mini's and have a love for them, I was just curious what the numbers show for the forum members.

What kind of GS Mini do you PRESENTLY own?
If you own more than one, you can select all that you own. I think I have them all covered :-\.

Thanks! ..... I had a sneaking suspicion I'd forget one. I updated the poll, so now you can make your selection.

The last couple of years have been great with my 2012 LTD GS mini with Rosewood multi layered b/s.  I hope someday they have a offering of solid b/s of Cocobolo  :o ;D ;D

The Holden had been haunting me since day one, the engel, the flame, oh my!!! ...but I resisted as I couldn't justify the expense and another addition to the herd.  Then I "fall" into this "regular" spruce that popped up on the boards.  What can I say? ...guitar happens! :D
(pssst, I voted but it doesn't arrive till Monday)

Looks like I've got the only Blackwood 2012 Spring Limited so far...

And I'm having a hard time remembering the Koa-bodied GS Mini Limited...?  The 2012 Spring Limited guitars had either a Maple, Blackwood, or Rosewood laminate.

it was a sam ash exclusive, or at least it was initially, like the T5z custom was for GC at first

looks like the model used for the stock pic on the website has a 2014 800 series fretboard ;)
