After having sold a crazily over-valued and much sought after pedal (Klon Centaur) owned more or less jointly by my best friend and me, we decided to split the geetus and buy ourselves some new musical gee-gaw. I was looking at several things but nothing had grabbed a hold of me as yet when I began helping a young musician cousin of my wife in selecting the right guitar to take on his cross country tours. I had him play several of mine to gauge both his playing style and ability. He's basically a finger picker who accompanies himself singing new "americana" type stuff (think Avett Brothers). After this assessment I told him that what I'd recommend was an all mahogany Taylor GS Mini with electronics. It also comes in a rugged Taylor travel bag which would be perfect for his vagabond musical adventures (he mostly lives in his van). He had no clue as to what that was so I inundated him with YouTube videos and reviews and even sent him out the local GC to try them out. Unfortunately while looking at all these Minis I happened to see a Fall Ltd edition GS mini E in Koa that was one of the most stunning looking guitars I've ever seen. Dern. And it was at the same price as what I'd just made on the Klon. Dern. All it took was a simple phone call to Willcutt Guitars in Kentucky and the prize was mine. Delivered on Friday and played all weekend. Wow. Wowwy Wow Wow! Simply amazing. If you have not tried one of these I strongly suggest you do. Or don't...you'll soon be out $700. Dern.
