Taylor Gs mini, worth it?

[Happyguitarcamper]

Hey y'all!

I'm considering a trade with my current guitar for a Gs mini.

I've seen a lot of great reviews about it however... Gs minis in SG are known to have bridge lift problems

I know it's a great guitar, but is it worth the headache if it has costly problems in the future?

P.s what dehumidifiers can be put inside the taylor soft case it comes with?

100% worth it, incredible value-for-money IMHO.

I was a GS mini owner. It's a great guitar with incredible sound, good enough for live playing. Bridge lifting is common yes, but with proper care and dehumidifying, such problems can be avoidable. A lot of luthiers will try to persuade you to drop the gauge to medium lights. In my opinion that changes the tone for the worse. Just get a good set up and take care of your guitar and it should be fine.

It's not a guitar that will age very well and some parts might require replacing (e.g. tuners, bridge pins) for it to sound and play better.
