It's a soft, padded bag but a really sturdy one. **Q: What kind of polish should I use for the body?** A: Lemon oil is not typically used on the body of guitars. Save the lemon oil for the fretboard. Any type of commercial polish will work (like the Dunlop mentioned) and one small bottle will last years. **Q: Do the taylor gs mini or martin jr have better resell value, sorry serious question.. i am just not sure if i can commit to play (again) but will try!** A: I do not know about resale value of Taylor vs. Martin guitars. I own an Taylor mini and love it. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looks beautiful, sounds great and the perfect size!! *by on Reviewed in the United States November 10, 2018* I love, love this guitar. I'm no proffesional but both my sons play so we have several guitars in our home and as players we range from novice to pro. My oldest son plays and performs in public, but when he comes home he always grabs my Taylor. And always remarks what a great tone it has for a smaller guitar. I ordered this because I am petite and have much smaller hands than my sons and I wanted something smaller and easier to play and learn on (and also hoping my boys wouldn't claim it as their own.) It looks beautiful and sounds wonderful. It's a favorite by all of the pickers in our home. And the size is perfect for me (smaller hands) and for traveling. I was a bit nervous to order this from Amazon, but I always rely on reviews and this didn't dissapoint. If you have a beginner in the house or a younger player with smaller hands, or just want a great sounding travel guitar I highly recommend!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like it better than my 2001 Martin 00028 Eric Clapton Acoustic......Really!!! *by on Reviewed in the United States November 30, 2015* After playing this guitar for 6 months, I can tell you that this is hands down my favorite guitar! Those are tall words because I have a 2001 Martin 00028EC acoustic in pristine condition that will shortly be listed on Ebay. Before you start typing up your comments on how crazy I am , give me another sentence or two to explain. I have really small hands and can play the Taylor technically better than my Martin because the neck is much wider causing lots of buzz and unwanted sounds. Because I can "play" the mini better and more precise it sounds better to my ear. Yes, the Martin will play louder with more punch and articulation but for shear playing enjoyment, I really love the mini!! I leave it around my house on the sofa, on my bed, it its around and always within reach. I take it with me wherever I go and didn't breakdown in tears when I got my first ding. Its portable, playable and sounds absolutely amazing to my ear. If your a beginner about to make your first purchase, this is absolutely the guitar for you. If your advanced, you should go play one. I did make a few minor adjustments to "tweak" the guitar. Mainly I sanded the bridge to lower the playing action and changed out the nut to a zero fret nut which makes playing cowboy chords louder and crisp. Taylor must be selling a ton of these babies because they are now made in like 6 different styles. I hope Taylor contacts me to be their spokesperson for the "Old Guys with small hands market segment", because I want a GS Mini in KOA!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compares favorably to any guitar at price-point, regardless of size. *by on Reviewed in the United States October 31, 2016* Solid, well made, pretty-looking guitar that plays beautifully. There are no issues with tone or the sound and I could see purchasing this guitar even if size were not a consideration. One review mentions getting the guitar for $420 and argues this as a more reasonable price-point. I'd take the deal if I got it, but don't agree if the point is relative to its being made in Mexico or being a 3/4 sized guitar. I would compare this instrument to any other acoustic guitar at $500 made domestically or abroad. I ordered it online and have no regrets .. Taylor knows they have a successful line here and want to keep it that way. Have been playing in open D which it handles admirably .. using a slide .. great harmonics in all positions. Very satisfied with purchase. ## Frequently Bought Together - Taylor GS Mini Mahogany GS Mini Acoustic Guitar , Sapele, Mahogany Top - Amazon Basics Adjustable Folding Guitar Stand, A-shape, Fully Assembled - For School Music Program, Concerts & Multiple Users, Black - WINGO Guitar Capo for Acoustic and Electric Guitars - Rosewood Color with 5 Picks --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/9074187-taylor-gs-mini-mahogany-natural](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/9074187-taylor-gs-mini-mahogany-natural) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-08-29*
