The fact that Taylor makes around 45,000 GS Minis a year tells you something. I have two (rosewood and e-Mini Koa Plus). I kept the e-Mini Koa Plus out on a stand all winter while the other guitars were nestled in their cases with Humidipaks and sponges. As a result, it got a lot of play compared to the others just because it was within easy reach. Not only did the low humidity not damage the guitar, I think the guitar sounded better by the end of winter.

I was playing some more last night. I swear I can play the GS Mini more cleanly with less buzz & unwanted string muting than I can my Eastman AC422CE. And it seemed like there was less pick click when I strummed.

I've got a feeling that my more-than-twice-as-expensive Eastman AC422CE might be staying in its case for a while.

I just purchased the GS Mini Mahogany in the shaded edgeburst, I cant believe how good and how easy it is to play, I really don't know how much my other acoustic will get played now. I think for a hobby player like me who just plays at home for my own enjoyment, its hard to beat this guitar.

Just a delight to play

I agree. My GSM is the only guitar I leave out. Such a great all-around guitar.

Could there be a difference in the necks that causes less buzz & unwanted string muting?
