I compare guitars in different price ranges all the time. I like what I like, so sometimes the cheap Ibanez wins against something like a Huss and Dalton and sometimes it doesn't.
While it's true you can get 3 to 5 minis for the price of one Savoy, I would rather have one guitar I really like than a dozen that make me go meh. I go meh with the Cargo even though I like it a lot better than a mini. At 22 and something inches it's definitely better than the 17" scale guitalele, but not enough to be worth 10 or more guitaleles in my opinion but I still compare them.

Why the GSmini bashing? Well, this is the carbon fiber forum, and the Mini isn't... but, I still have a Mini (an early edition, when the spruce top was all they made). I admit that I don't play it much these days, but I did pick up some strings to set it up for Nashville Tuning when we get home. Because... it's there.
The GSmini was my travel guitar before I found the joys of carbon fiber. The neck isn't "bad," it is simply short scale and 1 11/16" nut width... and a buyer should know that going into it... shouldn't be a surprise. From my perspective, it is a decent small guitar. Not everyone can spring for a pricier carbon fiber guitar... but this one is good while you're saving up the bucks. And now, back to the CF portion of our program. |

Getting back to the Savoy, I've never named a guitar before, but I'm thinking of naming mine "Harley". Goes back to when I had several motorcycles, but every time I took anything but my Heritage Softail I wished I was riding it. Feel the same way recently when I travel with anything but the Savoy.

Not naming mine Yamaha.
