Well, it arrived and I'm loving it. Have wanted a short scale (24 inch) solid wood guitar for a long, long time. Been wishing Taylor would do a GS-Mini in solid woods. Got a Larivée koa parlor. With an 1 3/4 but, and 12 fret neck, it's the easiest guitar I've ever played. The sound is nice for finger picking, but it's also a small cannon with a thin pick. Head to head against my mini, where the mini peaks out early, this thing is just gaining steam. Still love my mini because I travel a bit, and do some camping. Probably will not be playing the mini much at home, any more.
