How portable?

Weight and travel size are big issues seņor.. it's like i'm bringing this up mountain peaks, literally. lol

Back in the 90's I had a cheap nylon acoustic guitar that was bought from raon . Its a little bit smaller than a Baby Taylor. Its loud enough for jams. I never had worries on it getting wet or banged up. Its perfect for travelling and the outdoor environment.

At one time I strung it up with steel strings when I had no budget for nylons. The neck held up alright even though there was no truss rod. The steel strings made it louder but were prone to rusting when played outdoor especially at the beach.

I'm sure the music stores today offers better quality guitars. Just remember the first things you should look for when choosing a travel guitar are (IMO):
1. Small
2. Loud
3. Cheap (I WOULD NEVER DARE USE MY EXPENSIVE GUITARS ON HARSH OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTS!!!)

Baby Taylor is one of the best portable acoustics out there. Pricey nga lang. So question is, how much are you willing to spend?

Tried a small Fernando acoustic kanina since I'm similarly looking for a small, portable, budget acoustic na pwede iwan lang sa sasakyan or i-throw around.. It was around 4k.. Hmm.... it sounded ok.. Nothing ear-catching or whatnot, it was just ok.. Seems to be a bit well made, though..

GS-mini party, hehehe. For portability though, Baby has its edge because of the size.

Baby:
Body Length 15 3/4"
Body Width: 12 1/2"
Body Depth: 3 3/8"

Mini:
Body Length: 17 5/8"
Body Width: 14 3/8"
Body Depth: 4 7/16"

agree! but i think the incremental tonal quality of the GS Mini over the Baby will justify the 2" difference between the two.

... and we also need to consider the price difference between the two.

TS did not share his budget but his preference in weight and size lang

Without regard to the size and weight, tone and overall build quality ... GS-mini wins
