I have a 322ce-14f Hog/Tasmanian Blackwood on its way starting tomorrow.
I decided that I am going to sell one of my GS Minis and also sell the Furch Little Jane Travel guitar I recently purchased. I love the GS Minis too much to get rid of both of them, so the Shaded Edge Koa will remain as my travel guitar.

Is there much size difference overall between the GS Mini and a 12 fret GC? I’ve been considering this as well

I have a spreadsheet I keep of dimensions of a number of guitars, especially smaller ones I'm interested in or own or have owned. It includes the GS Mini and the GC. Additions and corrections welcome.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing This page is helpful about the Taylor GC 12-fret vs 14-fret differences, and includes a good photo showing the differences. The neck is shorter, but the other dimensions look the same: https://www.taylorguitars.com/guitar...cialty/12-fret |

Gives a lot of other information as well, including the type of bracing. |

Understood, overall length depends on the scale and neck join--even the size of the headstock. Taylor doesn't give you upper bout or waist measurements either, which I consider more important than overall guitar length (most makers don't, including Martin). Gibson gives even less info.

I own a GS mini and a 512e 12 fret, same size as the 322, both are GC size. Here is a picture of both mine side by side. It doesn't look like a huge difference but in your lap or standing up you notice it. That said the GC size 512 12 fret is really comfy to play.

That was a typo, fixed to 2 3/16", which is Taylor standard. Thanks for catching that!

GC's are closer to size 0 or 00 than a parlor. However, there isn't really a set-in-stone definition of parlor size used in the industry. Both GC and GS Mini could be called "parlors". I find the GC to be far more comfortable to play for my left hand based on the scale length (GS Mini 23.5" vs GC 24-7/8") and nut width (Mini 1-11/16" vs GC 1-3/4"). YMMV.

You were actually correct in the previous measurement, if it was 2-1/4". Taylor states that the saddle spacing on the GS Mini is 2-1/4", but I took my calipers to one of my GS Minis the other day and it was 2-3/16". It was a 2017 model, so I'm curious if Taylor switched over to 2-3/16". Most of the information on the internet that you will find will state the spacing as 2-1/4".
