NGD - GS Mini mahogany

[Ottertail]

I absolutely love my Taylor 717, but she’s a heifer and not at all a couch guitar. She’s also rather precious and I don’t want to travel with ‘er. So after some hunting I found a nice looking mahogany GS Mini demo for $539 and one of those coupons for 10% off actually worked! All told $485 to my door, and near as I can tell there are no blemishes from its time as a demo. Didn’t take any time at all to adjust to the shorter scale from a full length, in fact “Shape of my Heart” is MUCH easier to work on with this shorter scale. It’s a nice small guitar that has a larger voice than you might expect for its size. I’ve seen streaked fretboards I like better, but I like this one too. Overall, I’m stoked!

Those GS Minis are sweet little guitars. I have one that I keep in Nashville tuning.

I have a GS Mini mahogany that I love because it is so much fun to play and sounds great. It is in my studio and always ready to play.

Super nice. The streaked fretboard really confused me when I first viewed the pic. My thought bubble was, “Why are there 6 tuners but only 4 strings?”

Surprising just how well the streak aligns with the B string!!

Congratulations those are some of the best sounding small guitars under $2K. I have a spruce/walnut GS mini and really enjoy it. I went back and forth and back and forth between the spruce and mahogany, both are winners.

I think you will grow to like it even more over time. It is a great guitar to take along with you when traveling and you have a nice guitar that you don't have to feel compromised playing. I would suggest the SKB-GSM case if you start traveling with it. Great protection at a decent price.

I waffled too, but since my other guitar is spruce/rosewood, I thought I’d go for something different.

I think I’ve convinced myself I’ll be looking for one of these in January instead of a guitalele.

It adds some cool character.

I love the GS minis! I've had the spruce, mahogany, and koa versions.
I currently have the Koa mini plus.
Congratulations, yours looks great!
