  • Picked this up to be my travel guitar. For this trip I flew with it on 4 flights. Strung with D'addario Flat Top 13's. Also using a portable Sennheiser USB mic directly into my Macbook with no processing.
    Very happy with this little guitar. It plays easy, sounds good and travels well. I get the hype now.

    The strings really work in softening the tone, sounding great!

    Wow! Great playing! Appreciate all the great tunes!
    How's the bass end? Is this as tinny as most Taylors?
    Thanks again , really enjoyed!

      Didn’t sound tiny to me. Surprised at how full it sounded compared to some I tried. What did you think of the sound from the video? There was no EQ or any audio editing, just raw guitar tone.

    How do you find the pickup? Would love to hear a sample di recording.

    It’s laminate rosewood, not maple. Not that it really matters.

    Man that sounds good! Think I'm finally going to pick up a new GS Mini. Plus, its the anniversary edition haha.

    I gave you a like once you stopped talking and played the guitar. Sounds great. You are very good at playing.

    I’ve just bought one of these to throw in the car for when I’m on the move. Great tone and nice looking but out of the box was virtually unplayable due to high action. Once sorted should be fine.

      That’s too bad. Where did you get it from? Hopefully it’s a quick fix for you, and you can start to enjoy it.

      Purchased from Andertons music UK but it was factory sealed. Yes will be easily sorted with a good set up.

    Maple? It looks like Rosewood???

    • @acousticmusicnthings
      @acousticmusicnthings  4 місяці тому +4

      If I said maple I was incorrect. This is rosewood laminate. I just reviewed a laminate maple guitar a couple days prior to this lol

    Rosewood back and sides not maple! Usually Taylor's come with Elixir. And it's out of tune.

    What did the action measure out of the box? Just ordered mine.

    • @acousticmusicnthings
      @acousticmusicnthings  3 місяці тому +1

      It was right about 5/64 in the low E. Not bad, but I’ve heard it can be hit or miss.

    Flat top strings? Which side is flat and how do you orientate it 360 degree's it would take a years to restring a guitar

  • @JamesKuncl

    Question: the flat strings you put on - are those also 13-56 gauge like the original strings? I own the same guitar (really enjoying it) and was thinking about swapping strings (and maybe even going lighter gauge).

    • @acousticmusicnthings
      @acousticmusicnthings  3 місяці тому +1

      They are the D'Addario Flat Top 13-56. I don't think this guitar would do well with lighter strings. The scale length is so short they might just flop around.

  • @darylfortney8081
    @darylfortney8081 3 місяці тому

    I thought it was rosewood back?

    • @acousticmusicnthings
      @acousticmusicnthings  3 місяці тому +1

      It is. I mentioned below that I had just reviewed a maple backed guitar the day before
