Beautiful guitar!
Marleyman 217 07.03.2020
This instrument sounds as good as it looks. The perfect size....my main instrument is violin so this small form factor with a slightly thinner than average neck is a joy to play on. The koa is stunning and it does lend a warm shimmer to the sound that will get better with time. Just as comfortable to play on the sofa as it is on the stage....Highly recommend this guitar for beginner and experienced player alike! Also the case it comes with is firmer than I expected.... very durable and great colour too!

saddly not for me
Markkkk 02.08.2021
I was expecting great playabilty but The neck feels really cramped. Whenplaying open chords within the first 5 frets it's okay but when I do chord inversions or some more complex chords it just feels small and a bit hard to play, at least for me.

the look of the guitar is beautiful, but it's so easy to scratch! If you're playing with a pick at least.

I can see why some people like this guitar. If there was a gs mini with a regular sized neck I'd get that in a heartbeat.

The strings are also a bit on the thicker side for my preference, so that might put me off as well..

Overall I think it's a great guitar but it certainly isn't for everyone, after 2 weeks of forcing myself to like it I'll return it for a regular sized taylor...
