Thank you to everyone on this thread for the inspiration and for sharing your knowledge.
As of today, my GS mini has achieved its final form... |

The only things I've done to my Mini were ebony truss rod cover & ebony bridge pins. I ordered them right from Taylor customer service, less than $25 shipping included.
I might someday upgrade the nut & saddle to bone, but that's way down the line. I'll be doing that to my '86 Guild D-25 before I do that to my Mini. The Guild still has same plastic nut & saddle it left the factory with 35 years ago, gone WAY PAST yellow, and onto brown at this point.

Last May (2021), for my daughter's GSmini Koa: swapped the Pings for 510's Cosmo Black ( my Fav tuners... just wish I could get them in a six o'clock position for my J45)... and matching strap button.

I will play along. My GS Mini Mahogany is almost a year old.
Last night I changed the strings to Martin Retro lights and dropped in some Taylor Ebony and Abalone pins. Minor upgrades but look nice enough. |

You can definitely consider removing the pickguard unless your a hard strummer

Not a hard strummer. I rarely use a pick with an acoustic. As much as I love the grain pattern on the top of this mini- I am not one to tinker too much. I will leave the pick guard on unless it starts to peel or have other problems. |
