can you take the pickup out of the bracket when you aren't using it?

[AcousticGuitarMag]

@tvtalent I suppose you could, but you'd have to secure the cable that goes to the endpin jack somehow (or remove the cable and jack as well). There's really no disadvantage to having the pickup in place though.

Its funny how every magazine or store player that demos the GS Mini purposely babies strumming it, because then they'd be giving away the secret that the guitar overloads/distorts horribly with strong flatpicking. There is no doubt its a great finger picker, but if you are a flat picker, you're either gonna have to change the way you strum, or its distortion galore.

@diaboloboy93 Totally exceptable (even recommended by some) to rest finger. Watch Tommy Emmanuel lessons as example...?

[Pinoyako11705]

@coolman4yo What about the Baby Taylor?

[182sambo]

@d0ngbak I agree. I was quite disappointed with my sound through the pickup. I'll sell it and buy a piezo. If anyone has any recommendations of a similar priced one, I'd love that. I hope this comment gets voted up because I think It's important for people to know how terrible the pickup is.

Sounds nice! And perhaps one of the more informative and interesting reviews I have seen on youtube! Got some tasteful playing, some history, and not too much jabber-other reviewers could learn learn a thing or a hundred from you!

@xDet3rmin4tionx

i use a kyser capo and it seens to work on anything from mandolins to ukuleles plus every acoustic i have used

[xDet3rmin4tionx]

I finally got mine, best guitar I've ever owned. It's going to be my main guitar, gigging guitar and recording guitar. There is no nicer sounding guitar in my opinion I really mean that.

[Labrabob]

I wonder if (by rare chance) a guitar did not appeal very much to your magazine and you published an "honest" review, would it affect the opportunity to carry advertisements from such a company?

[LoveesJesus]

Can someone explain to me, What does the pickup do for the guitar? Will it effect anything I play if I just buy the mini but not the pickup?

[d0ngbak]

DO NOT GET THE PICKUP MEANT FOR THIS GUITAR, its a soundhole pickup and the sound is terrible, its very quiet, doesn't sound natural (sounds like a cheap electric guitar), and when used with my boss looper pedal it barely picks up the sound to start recording, worst money I"ve ever spent although the taylor gs mini is a very great guitar
