Default Got Taylor GS Mini GAS!

In the past I致e owned as many as 3 GS Minis. However as my interest in the guitar waned and I started to concentrate on Clawhammer banjo they went away.

Well the table has turned again and I知 back into my feeble attempts at fingerpicking. I purchased a new Spruce top GS Mini a couple of weeks ago, but I知 thinking it needs a Mahogany to keep it company. Hmmmm 🤔

Go for it! Mahogany is the most popular GSMini in AGF based on a poll I did a few weeks ago. I got a Koa and a Spruce and I am a big fan of the Mini.

I make it a point to play all my guitars on rotation, 2 guitars per playing session but the Mini Koa gets the most playing time.

I知 a fan of the CSF3M also. Such a good-looking guitar with its gloss finished and good workmanship. Is your CSF3M a vintage or tobacco burst top?

It's natural finish. I'm holding it right now. Playing for my elderly mom.

Sorry for unintentionally hijacking your thread.

Go for the Mahogany GS Mini!

What do the rest of you think?

I have a GSmini-e Rosewood with the ES2 system (2016 model). It has a spruce top and layered rosewood back and sides. Easy to play, sounds great, especially plugged in.
