I can't comment on the GS mini but the Baby Taylor (3/4 size dreadnought) is great. Body size is comfy if you're used to solidbody electrics, and it's quite playable up the neck. It does lack projection if you're playing unplugged to an audience, but the electro-acoustic version will sort that.

Eastman OM top of list now, stay tuned tomorrow for when I change my mind again.

The cedar topped one? E2OM? That's nice too!

Do you think my Walden might tick your boxes? I was just in the shed making up a big box for my guitar cases but the large Walden case wouldn't fit. For a moment there I thought, oh fuck it. I'll just sell it.

Yeah the cedar one, gets it a bit closer to the OMJM tone

OMJM has a spruce top and rosewood back and sides iirc ?

Ahhh I think you're right, for some reason I thought it had a rosewood top too!

Only the rusty ones.

Another thing I was considering was the Martin OOO Jr, altho' this is a dread version vs a full size its interesting how good the Jr sounds to me...

Actually, I was going to ask you for a bit of info so I could list it and seem like I know what I'm talking about...?

All solid wood construction. Indian Rosewood B&S, spruce top. Grand Auditorium shape & size. 1&3/4 string spacing at the nut, 25&1/2" scale. Rosewood fretboard. Gloss finish (but its is water-based I think). Walden use good quality woods for their top models (such as this) and their construction is usually excellent too.
