Comfortable size for a petite female beginner guitarist, and probably anyone

Product Review I am a beginner guitarist:) I previously had a small Cordoba travel guitar. It was very nice, but too small for me. I have tried the Taylor GS mini mahogany guitar and it is more comfortable to hold. It's not too small. I have a classical nylon string guitar, but the neck is too wide for me to get G and G7 chords comfortably. I do wish that the GS mini came in a nylon string version. I have had the GS mini for 2 days. It meets my expectations. I decided to try the GS mini and I was pleased at how well I can reach more challenging chords. I am still adjusting to steel strings but I see that I will get used to the GS mini easily:)

Product Review I was buying a 214 CE DLX when this guitar was thrown in for an extra $199. It is totally worth it. I call it el cannonito. The little cannon. It really projects. It comes strung with .13s which took a little getting used to but worth the pain for the purity of sound you get. I am heading out of town for 12 days and I will take this guitar so that I can keep playing. It comes with an awesome gig bag that will fit in the overhead bin on a plane. The ergonomics take a little getting used to from a full size guitar. The sound on this really blew me away.

Product Review When I 1st got this GS mini I had mixed emotions,gave it ap kinda crappy review, unjustly so I might add, it grew on me over the period of a few days. It is a great little guitar and I can only see it getting better though time. It has awesome wood that will age beautifully. I would most definitely recommend this little guitar.

Product Review Frets could be smoother, strings that came on guitar seem a bit heavy, tone is not that great, might return the guitar and go with a breedlove.

Everyone loves when I pull out this guitar and they hear me strum it it carries across the room no problem, heck it even carries across the field!

Product Review You couldn’t ask for a better affordable Taylor. The sound quality is amazing, while the body size is smaller and easier to play than most acoustics. Tuning stability is a non factor in this and that’s with hours of playing. For someone that’s beginning to play acoustic or at an intermediate level I would 100% recommend the Taylor GS Mini.

Product Review I absolutely love this thing and just ordered another but the acoustic electric version. Took very little fine tuning to get the action super low but it stays there and it plays like an electric. Super comfortable guitar with a huge sound for any acoustic but it just feels so right. It’s inspired so much creative writing since I’ve been playing it and I can’t play any of my other acoustics now as they just don’t feel or sound right anymore. I’d buy this guitar 100x at the double the price. I’ve been playing for 24 years and I’ve finally found “the one”...

Product Review I am new to playing guitar, I have another guitar but being a beginner player I didn’t feel like I had control of a bigger guitar. Heard about the Taylor mini and the reviews were great. So far love this guitar, great guitar to take on the road. Would definitely recommend this guitar, for both beginners and experienced players looking for a smaller guitar.

Product Review As a ukulele player, I was hesitant to put money into a guitar that I may or may not play. After reading reviews, I decided to do it - and I am happy I did! The guitar, itself, is beautiful. It’s the perfect size, has a smooth satin finish, and sounds FANTASTIC! Boy, does it sound good. Fearing that my hands would not be strong enough to make the chords, I was amazed by how well the guitar was set up. The action was great; and the neck and strings were perfectly aligned. Chords were a dream to make. The Taylor GS Mini has sustain for days, and the tone is rich and mellow. Overall, it’s an excellent instrument and I have no regrets making the shift from ukulele to guitar!

Product Review Few things in life live up to the hype. The GS Mini not only lives up to it, it goes beyond it. This little guitar packs a big punch. It sounds amazing, feels perfect and plays like a dream. I didn't believe it could possibly be as great as people say, until I bought my own. The Mahogany version is the perfect mix of warm and bright tones. It's easy to play and so enjoyable you won't want to put it down. If I had to come up with something to not like about this deal, it would be the included gig bag. It provides okay protection I would invest in a hard case.

Product Review I bought a Taylor GS mini as an early Christmas gift for my husband. I don’t play guitar personally but I grew up with one being constantly played either at church or in school. I had no idea it could sound so...different. My husband went right on to using it after tearing the box open and it’s like listening to a record.

Product Review First let me start buy saying I was one of those people that had it in my cart for months. ....just trying to reach all my options and making a wise purchase. Well if I would have known then what I know now. I would have never hesitated! The case itself is a work of art! All the way down to the stitching of Taylor across the front ? Once tuned it has the warmth and pure sound of a full size!! It's so easy to play and Taylor doted every i and crossed every t. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT AND YOU WILL TO???

Product Review I have five guitars (1 Les Paul Electric, a Gibson Hummingbird Acoustic Electric, a Gibson Epiphone Pro 1 Acoustic - one played by Glenn Frey of the Eagles, A Gibson Acoustic Cutaway, and this new Taylor GS Mini parlor guitar with a grand auditorium sound). The Taylor has a great bassy sound for playing the blues and folk music, sound hole same size as my standard guitars, all mahogany top side and back. Beautiful playing guitar. Hard to beat a Taylor, even harder to beat AMS on service and quality.

String buzz

Product Review Beautiful guitar. I suppose without the string buzz it would sound beautiful. Very excited to receive this guitar. I couldn't wait to play it. I thought being a Tayolr I'd pull it out of its case and be amazed. But string buzz on the 1st and 2nd string at the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd frets ruined that. What a shame. Minor prob? I suppose. But being a Taylor it should be playable right out of the box.

Product Review Amazing sound, looks and play-ability! I used to have a 314ce. I had to sell it a while back and yearned for another Taylor. I like this better! It is small enough to have hanging around wherever you go and the sound is amazing. It is also better looking than the picture. The top is really a thing of beauty.

Product Review This Taylor is ridiculously easy to play and has gobbs of tone Great perfectly crafted instrument The smaller design is almost like a parlor guitar so it's The easiest most playable acoustic I own Tone is outrageous.....the mahogany body balances out the smaller shape so the result is A well balanced sound with tons of projection.....you would never know this is a smaller setup The mahogany finish has this awesome "3D" appearance. The value is huge.....if so eons told me this was a $1000 plus guitar I wouldn't even flinch Perfect set up....just plug and play....well just play no adjustments needed

The Taylor Mini is very well made. I could find no flaws with mine. I have only had it for about 2 months, but during that time I have played it daily. I find it better and better each time I pick it up. Your general opinion of this product. I want to buy another made of different wood just because this one is so great....another would be even better. The neck feels just right for me even though it is a shorter guitar. Lots of happy noise made with this guitar. Good sustain, good lows, good highs. It is amazing how much sound comes out of this small guitar. Satin finish is very nice, but I think a glossy top might be nice too. I have had no work done to it. It has a great action straight out of the box. Love this little guitar!
