Hi, I'm Brodie From Better Music.
Today we're going to have a look at some mini acoustics - 3 in particular.
We've got a Taylor GS Mini, a Maton EML6 - which is a standard mini guitar, and the Martin
LX1E - this one is the Ed Sheeran.
We'll start on this one today.
It's a high-pressure laminate back and sides with a solid mahogany top.
It's got a pickup, but today we're not going to listen to the pickup, but we'll listen
to the guitar itself.
Let's have a play and we'll have a listen.
So, you can hear it's a bit flatter - that's due to the high-pressure laminate.
You've also got a stacked high-pressure composite neck, which is ridiculously strong, especially
in weird climates like Canberra.
Alright, next we'll move on to Mini Maton and we'll have a quick look at that one.
Alright, so now we have the mini Maton, this is the EML6 - this is their standard version
- they do a 12-string version of this one.
They also have a Diesel signature in a 6 and a 12 and they just brought out a solid mahogany
version in a 6 and a 12 string.
This one has a solid spruce top with a laminate Queensland maple back and sides.
Let's have a quick listen to this one and see what it sounds like compared to the Martin.
So, as you can hear, it's a bit brighter than the Martin.
It'll probably handle...
Chimey chords up the fretboard, that's the Queensland maple - it's quite bright.
The next one we'll listen to is the Taylor GS Mini.
Alright, now we have the Taylor GS Mini, this is their standard version.
It's got a solid spruce top with sapele back and sides.
The main difference, and it's a little bit bigger than the other two, but you've actually
got an arched back, which adds a lot of resonance to the sound of the guitar and when you've
got a mini guitar, having that full body sound really helps.
This is quite popular, this is probably my best selling one, but we'll have a quick listen
and see what you think.
And it sustains for days.
The tone out of this Taylor is pretty next-level compared to the other minis, even with the
higher chords up the top.
You can hear every single note ringing out and it articulates every single note really
well, but it still sounds full, you know, not thin or anything.
I highly recommend the Taylor over the other two - it's definitely my best seller.
But, come in store and check it out.
