Default Are the Taylor GS Mini Koa FLTDs gone?

I'm thinking I MAY want to get none of these but I'm thinking it's too late too. I've looked at a bu ch of websites and they all say unavailable. I think I saw on some forum that there may be another run. Any info or ideas?

If you want a LTD Mini get the Holden Village. It's what all the cool kids have...

If you don't own a GS Mini, I think you should absolutely hunt down one and buy it.
And in the worse case, perhaps buy a HV one? Those are still available.

Funny you should mention that. My local guitar store just put one on display.

Maybe try a local brick-and-mortar? My local store has several in stock and they said they're getting even more in January.

A good friend of mine just picked up one from our local shop, and they had two to choose from. I think they're out there if you look.

Default Koa GS Mini guitar

I looked at my guitar store website (fullersguitar.com) for you since they listed some on Friday. However none today so they are gone there, at least until some more come in. If memory serves correctly they ordered a bunch so they are probably trickling in by ones and twos. Talk to them. They also have 3 each of the all koa 300 LTDs available - 324 and 326. I bought one two weeks ago after A/Bing all four 324s but they still have the others.

Mostly. Taylor underestimated demand, and is buying more Koa to catch up.

There are supply issues with the solid koa tops. Though some dealers received a few, there probably won't be any more until January. In the meantime, Taylor is building a small batch of Mahogany GS Minis with ES-T pickup/preamp to help fill the void. Those should be available in December. We've got a whole bunch of the GS Mini Hogs w/ES-T and the GS Mini Koa FLTD on order, so feel free to get in touch if you want me to hold either model for you when they become available. I expect both versions to sell out quickly.

We do have the all-solid koa 324ce and 326ce FLTDs in stock.

I think I found one. A favorite dealer is expecting some in January. I can wait till then. 😃 Thanks for the help. One of the replies was golden.
