I put lights on my GSmini and it sounds great. I lost a little volume, but it made playing alot easier on my fingers. If anyone is tempted to try it, I highly recommend it. If I'm planning on playing with a group of others, I'll bring my 814ce, so losing the volume doesn't really matter to me, it's more about comfort.

Seriously though, I've put lights on mine and I'm happy with the results. I just play on the couch so volume isn't really an issue for me.

Before long, someone is going to go to the trouble of decking out their guitar with fairy lights as a response to thread titles about lights!
Although I've presently got uncoated mediums on my GSmini, I put a set of Elixir pb lights on a few months back and they sounded great. My next set will probably be 80-20 nano lights.
Even though official advice on the GSmini is that mediums work best with the scale length, the lights also sound very good. I seem to recall Bob T being asked somewhere if it would be a problem switching to lights on a 100 series guitar, and his answer was that the guitar will still sound great, it'd just lose a bit of volume and have more of an intimate sound. My experience on the GSmini is just the same. In fact sometimes the intimate sound is a bonus, for instance if you're using it as a travel guitar and playing late night in your hotel room etc.
