Just got the GS mini-e koa. Plays wonderful and looks even better

Koa is thing of beauty!

I just bought the GS mini spruce and rosewood. OMG it sounds amazing!

Managed to get an Edge Burst all Mahogany GS Mini 😍 but was tempted by the tone of the Ziricote. They are amazing and my premium acoustic guitars are going to be neglected for a while as the GS Mini is so good and fun to play. I swapped out the plastic bridge pins for a set of Tusq bridge pins (black with abalone dots) - looks awesome and definite improvement in openness and sparkle.

Love my gs mini

The GS mini rosewood sounds best and kind of a most mature instrument to me … bought one now… thank for the comparison..

I have one. Love it.

Wow I bought the koa!

I like how he says Taylor like "Tyler."

The back and sides are the same on all the models, the only slight difference being the very thin OUTSIDE layer of laminate wood. As for which one; Mahogany electro for me.

Solid wood top with laminated sides and back.

i am loved natural good guitar ,this so good and sound great.

Sweet

Does anyone know the name of the demo song he played on all of them? It’s the second finger picking tune. I hear a lot of nice demo songs but can’t for the life of me find any information on what they are.

I thought I wanted the Mahogany, then I tried the Rosewood in a store yesterday, what a stunning beautiful looking and sounding guitar. Now I can’t decide which one I want.

Elixir strings required for the short scale with the bass version. I get it. How about the six string? I have a Taylor acoustic, but my wife who wants to play acoustic guitar finds it to be a bit too big.... bringing me to research these things. I have an affinity for mahogany resonance, especially solid mahogany (think 50s and 60s Gibson electrics), which these budget instruments probably don't possess. My Taylor has some kind of mahogany laminate sides and back, with a solid spruce top. All said, we're both in our sixties, and I just picked up the guitar again for the first time in well over a decade, and the better half wants to perhaps play. I had to change strings anyway, so put nickel electric 13-52s on the thing for bend and playability, and am not unhappy with the slight loss of tone, since I won't be playing anything in public at this point. I just want guitars I (we) can play. I suppose I should play the variants to compare tonal quality (which would differ using nickel strings anyway), but there's not a guitar store within 100 miles. I guess I'm asking but not asking for recommendations. The Koa is beautiful, of course, and no piezo pickup necessary to shape sound, in our situation. Whatever we decide upon will be on a stand in a corner with others regardless. Thanks for your review. Pretty instruments and nice playing.

I owned the gsmini koa. For me spruce sounds honky that is why I chose the koa...

I've had a GS Mini Mahogany for 3 years. The sound is amazing, so amazing that I had no idea just how bad the set up was until I had taken it to a professional to give it a good clean. As for the Elixir gauge 13 strings, are not great for a beginner, really did not progress my playing. I actually now use Martin gauge 12 Eric Clapton strings, sound bette and far easier to play than the Elixir strings. Yes believe it or not you can use Martin strings on a Taylor guitar. Have no idea why Taylor insist on using the Elixir strings. I fell for that marketing myth for 2 years Thankfully my Taylor GS Mini has never sounded better

I love my Taylor GS mini koa+e. Does anyone know how the Mini Maton compares?

Anyone able to give any insight as to how these stack up to the Martin 000-10e? The Koa Taylor’s are comparable in price but the Martin is all solid sapele. Need to try them for myself but if anyone has tried both your help would be appreciated.

im still trying to decide which one I want.. I wish they did the koa without the electronics... Looking likely to get the Mahogany.

How much the price

Spruce & Rosewood = warm and woody.

Big baby Taylor or GS Mini?

Can you plug it in?

Aren't GS Mini made in Mexico? Why did he say China?

I got a free rosewood ga mini with the black pickguards. I honestly don’t like it, I kinda preferred the sound of the academy Taylor for some reason. What a shame I can’t exchange it anymore. Wish I’d had taken the academy with the carve out for you arm. Very nifty add on.

hello, sorry it is not all koa is is lamenent back and sides.

What is the price ?? I want this Guitar very much🤗🤗🤗☺☺😊😗😗 please could you delivered for me?

Martin and Taylor are the best guitars

Sadly all these ppl in KZfaq play the same songs🥱

Nice guitars that were very nice trees in Africa. Guitars are cheap nowadays because China is devastating tropical forests there, at a speed you can not imagine. They pay peanuts tu cut down one-hundreds-years giants, with square kilometres concessions. A nightmare. Try to buy second hand guys
