Had been shopping a while for a smaller guitar that had decent electronics, wanted something more comfortable than my 23 year old Taylor 414ce. I tried a bunch of GS minis and could not justify the money because I was not happy with the sound. Ended up with the Alvarez Masterworks MF66 in OM size with the LR Baggs system. I prefer it over everything else I own. Do yourself a favor and check them out. I am 60 now and have about 15 guitars so my ears are trained pretty well when comparing them.

I have a Taylor GS-e mini koa plus. And I am amazing with the sound it’s bigger than a lot of guitars in the market. For real no joke is crazy.

The GS mini also has a curved back for better sustain and sound

Between those two guitars I definitely like to Alverez better. Thanks for turning me onto it.

No one seems to understand that the best “travel” acoustic is the YAMAHA CSF3m or the CSF1m and they’re much cheaper than those, I don’t think gs mini is priced 1000! 😅

I'm interested doing a comparison with the alverez cedar and ebony.

For my ears, with a proper tune-up, the Alvarez would probably sound better as well. Especially the 'B' string.

The Taylor sounds like crud ..

I walked into a shop ...I played a Martin Jr ., a
Baby Taylor, and a Luna ..

I walked out with the little Luna ...because it had a solid spruce top and sounded like a bigger guitar..

The Martin jr sounded like crap ..plywood top . In fact all plywood

The Taylor not only sounded like a trash can lid because it had a plywood top, back, and sides..but its fingerboard was so tight you couldn't play a A chord... and definitely not a B7.. price was almost as redundant as the Taylor.. These 2 companies were selling their name ...

I'm not paying 6 and 700 for anything that sounded that bad ..

The Luna, not only had that solid spruce top that sounded great, it fingered great, Had a Fishman pickup in it, and was only $179..

Think I'm making it up... walk into a big store and listen to them side by side .. I took the Taylor and the Luna both into the sound room, side by side .. ( The Taylor I couldn't wait to put it down fast enough).

Just buy a Mahogany Alverez and a Rosewood as well for the same price as the Taylor.

How about finger picked and plugged in?

The Alvarez is mahogany, the Taylor is Rosewood. At that price point Rosewood will always beat mahogany.
