This has all been years ago, but it stuck with me. These days, if looking to keep things small, I'd suggest a previous generation Emerald X7 as another alternative... but, the RS Parlor is also a nice guitar. (If you can be comfortable with the N2/NS neck.)

I needed this guitar like I needed another hole in my head, Captain Jim!
I already have a GSmini e-koa (as well as quite a few other guitars), but I loved the look of this guitar since I first saw it, I love RainSong (may they RIP!!), and I love the fact that its both carbon fiber and small. If I like it, I may end up selling the GS mini. I want to worry less about humidity, etc.
I also need to steer myself away from guitars that take up half of my body size. Im rather tiny. Lol.
I am keeping my fingers crossed as I have never bought a guitar that I havent seen or played in person!
