They have a full write up about this guitar in this months Taylor magazine "Wood & Steel". The GS Mini is similar in size to the "Baby" Taylor with a wider lower and upper body that makes it look more like a jumbo body (vs. the Baby's mini DN shape), athough considerably smaller. It's Taylor's effort to create a bigger fuller sound in a small guitar, which they have apparently done very well. It has more depth than the Baby (4 7/16" vs. 3 3/8") and length (17 5/8" vs. 15 3/4") as well and the full scale NT (bolt-on) neck design, nice rosette design, standard Taylor pickguard, inlaid purfling lines and it uese medium gauge strings. According to Taylor the differential in tone is huge. "It's twice what the Baby is." According to Bob Taylor. "... in both depth and richness." This is a full-size sounding guitar that is small enough to carry on a plane and can even be placed in the overhead compartment. This is Taylor's modern day "Parlor" guitar. The MSRP is $678 but you can probably get any woods on it that you'd like using their BTO ("Build To Order") program.

Lance, if you mean the GS mini, I got to play one today at the Taylor Road Show in Marietta, GA. According to the guy at the show, it has the NT neck. It does sound really good. I can see a lot of gigging musicians using it because it has a different sound. It will be available sometime around October. Some stores are taking orders now.

Hello everyone,

Is there anyone here who owns any of the 3 Taylor Living Jewel guitars?
Comment by Lance Allen on June 21, 2010 at 9:50am
Love the new Taylor mini guitar. sounds great and is upgraded with a dovetail joint neck.

I just heard back from Taylor about Daniel Cooper's Travel Stand (why it was gone from the Taylor Online Store). They ran out, so they removed it. It will go back up when they become available. Seems a rather strange way to do that. I would think simply stating that it's out of stock would be a better way.

Uh yeah...I think you get bonus points for the Style 1. :)

Hi to everyone just joined the group, have only been playing for a couple of years, love guitars and Taylors, have a 614ce and a T5 6 string and a T5 12 string, don't know if the R Taylor counts in this group, but have a style 1 R Taylor also.

Daniel, I saw your stand in the Online Taylor Store the other day but today it's not there. Any idea what's up?
Comment by Daniel Cooper on June 9, 2010 at 8:30am
HA!!, Thanks Patrick, I'm trying to stay as humble as possible about this... I admit that from the moment I worked out the design I had it in my head to show it to Bob Taylor at NAMM. It just goes to show that we all need to have faith in our dreams.. Anything is possible..
Comment by Patrick Michael Alaggio on June 9, 2010 at 8:23am
My pleasure Daniel. Just checked out the Taylor link to your design... must be an awesome feeling to attain that level of acceptance. I'll look forward to a slot on your fishing yatch when the success really takes hold! lol. Well done sir!
