Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? It is a Taylor and seems to be well built. I like the satin finish which hides fingerprints and smudges.Neck joint it solid and the fretwork is impeccable. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I only had a short time, but I have been playing for over 40 years. This seems built to be able to last. General Your general opinion of this product. It is well built and a surprisingly easy to play guitar that is very comfortable to hold and play even over an extended period of time. I wanted an acoustic guitar that I could play while lounged out on my couch. I tried at least a dozen or more parlor guitars and the Baby Taylor and Little Martins, and the Mini GS is by far the superior guitar. I play for a living, and did not expect to gig with this, just knock around the house. But I think I am going to buy the pickup for it and use it on a gig next week. It makes me want to play the guitar all over again! I am thrilled with this. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? It has a well balanced feel, and the neck was smooth and fast.I have a Martin HD35 and a Gibson Les Paul and this neck is as comfortable if not moreso than either of the other two. I think I may retire the Martin...well, maybe not...but the Taylor is a very good guitar and feels great. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? It sounds almost as good as my $3000.00 Martin, and I am well pleased with the sound in every aspect. It sounds much better than any other guitar I compared it to in the same price range, including full sized ones. I play a lot of blues and this is perfect. Not dull or twangy sounding. It sounds 'real'. Especially compared to ANY other travel guitar. And believe me, I tested them all before plunking down the cash for this. Hey, times are tough, no need to waste money. And you won't waste a dime on this Taylor GS Mini. It is one of the best I ever played. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The satin finish was flawless and there was not a single defect I could find. Action How was the action out of the box? Action was just perfect. I play a Les Paul and the feel and action is very similar. Actually, the Taylor is a bit better. I changed nothing on this piece.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Taylor don't make JUNK. Save some money somewhere else and step up to great tone in a compact package, the case makes you feel safe to take anywhere and I will. Reliability How has it stood up over time? It just seems so solid and with its padded perfect fit gig bag (with backpack straps) I will have this the rest of my life. General Your general opinion of this product. Love this guitar!!! If you search the net you will find a video of Bob Taylor saying how they built this guitar from everything they learned building the baby taylor and later the big baby. First this is not a toy with a set neck and 4 inch soundhole it just SINGS. Weigh more sound than you would expect out a guitar this size. Taylor quality control is top notch and I have been smiling ever since I opened the box! And I bought it on easy pay because it is painless compared to coughing up the full amount. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Play fast, very light to hold. Very comfortable, damn I wish I was playin it instead of being at this computer! Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? I would call the tone bright and more like a Martin than a Gibson, more emphasis on the treble mid range. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Made in Mexico- I was leery because I once bought a telecaster from there that had a low e string to close to the edge of the fretboard. This guitar seemed like a robot built it because the finish was perfect everywhere that wood meets was perfect and the only thing that is noticeble is the ebony fretboard has a blond streak running up the b and the e, I think it adds character. Same with the Spruce top it has a grain pattern in the lower half. Hey my wife has a few things I'd like to change but I am keeping her too! Action How was the action out of the box? Flawless. No buzz, and with the smaller fretboard you can play even a little easier because it does not require as much grip strength to make chords.
