Cheers!

I had a hog GS mini for about a year. I upgraded with bone saddle, Gotoh tuners, and bone bridge pins. I liked it fine but it sounded kind of boxy if you strummed with any energy but that was to be expected. And it looked and felt like a shrunk full size guitar. I sold it to help me buy a Rainsong Parlor P-12 that had a 1-3/4" nut, 12 fret neck, and 24.75" scale length. The P-12 is better in terms of clarity, projection, and a bit less boxy sounding (and it is a 12 fret short scale guitar). And it's easier for me to go from my Taylor GC 12 frets, OM, and 00 guitars because I don't feel cramped on the P-12's 12 fret short scale neck (a GS Mini feels cramped to me now). But I really love that the P-12 can go anywhere including a hot car on a Louisiana summer day. CF guitars are impervious to hot/cold weather changes. If you want to travel essentially worry free with a guitar, go carbon fiber.
Good luck.
