Note: 
This guitar is based on a Taylor GS Mini, but it has my handprint on it.  The Taylor doesn't have a soundport, veneer backstrap on the back of the headstock, laminated neck, or the fancy segmented spalted maple rosette.  This one has scalloped x-bracing.  Even with the small body size and short neck, it is remarkably full sounding.
