WANTED - GS-Mini QS (Quilted Sapele)
« on: November 12, 2014, 08:42:14 PM »
Hello, Folks!  I am trying to find a nice GS-Mini-QS. Was one of the Fall Limiteds from 2013. Are there any out there looking for a new home?

Thanks everyone!

I don't recall ever seeing one of these.  This is just a shot in the dark, but try contacting Martin Music in Memphis, TN.   They have a reputation for collection older or orphaned LTD's from other dealers and selling them.  (Ironic that a place named Martin Music specializes in Taylor LTD's, eh?)  That's how I came to get my all-koa 424-LTD a couple of years after they hit the market.  They were very good to do business with, which was fortunate because no one else had that particular model in stock.

Taylors:  424-LTD (all koa) and a 114ce that lives with friends in Alaska.  Low maintenance carbon fiber guitars are my "thing" these days, but I will always keep the koa 424.  Several ukulele and bass guitars too. 
*Gone but not forgotten:  a 2001 414ce, 410, 354-LTD twelve string, 314-N, 416-LTD baritone, T5 Classic, 615ce, 2006 GS-K, 1996 (first year) Baby

the quilted sapele veneer is one of the
more 'rare' non-standard GS mini models

good luck with the search, sandy -
if i happen across one, i'll forward the info on to you

This showing in stock.....

http://empiremusiconline.com/products-page/acoustic-guitar/taylor-gs-mini-e-quilt-sapele/

Hmm.  I had checked the online inventory at Empire when this thread first posted, but this one doesn't show up in that list...  I'd recommend calling Joe to confirm that this guitar is actually in stock, and that this web page isn't just a 'phantom' link from an already-sold guitar.

I was surfing around on the Taylor website last night and came across this. GS MINIe QS Legacy Model
Gorgeous quilted sapele laminate back and sides distinguish this premium, limited edition GS Mini model. The wood-rich beauty is matched by a performance-ready ES-T pickup, complete with onboard tone and volume control knobs, which invite you from the couch or campsite to the coffeehouse stage any time you’re ready. The Mini’s compact size and full-size tone has made it a runaway hit among guitar lovers looking for a comfortable guitar that fits both an active and relaxed lifestyle. Comes in a GS Mini hard bag.

Legacy guitar models are no longer in production. If you are interested in a legacy model, please call our sales team at 1-888-2TAYLOR.
Nice lookin guitar tho, especially the back. I like the wood on the QS than a Mahog. 8)

Sandy did you get the other QS at Empire? I called Joe the other day and he had 2 left, so I grabbed one and he told me the other one sold, thinking maybe you got it. Hope you can get one, these are cool.

I believe I'm the one who snatched that up  :). I was about to pull the trigger on a GS Mini-e RW, but saw this thread and found that the QS was still in stock at Empire, even though this thread is a few months old  :D.

I'll let you know after it gets here and is acclimated...it's scheduled for delivery on Tuesday, but depending on the delivery time I may not take it out of the gig bag until Wednesday morning :).
