I had a Martin 00-18VS UMGF and 00-28VS that were both great. But none of them held a candle to that D-18GE I played a while back.

Likewise, I was really pleasantly surprised the first time I picked up a fun to play Taylor Mini, but the second time I thought there was something missing. The OOs and GC's I have now make me think they're the smallest you can go and still get a reasonable amount of resonance. But if I needed a travel guitar that'd be it.

I recently experimented with Larrivee's larger LSs and they did nothing for me which makes me wonder if my small bodied guitars have trained my ear for them only. . .
