It’s hard to explain sound, it’s a good guitar for camping, it’s quite loud for its size but to me seems to be better at strumming that finger playing.
I have a guild OM120 all solid hog for the same price which sound better quality I think, the Taylor is a Taylor sound but it’s a little thin.
It’s okay until you compare with the above guild, it is a little bigger but we are talking inches here……..the mini does not really sound like a HOG to me, more like a spruce, weird, but it has no compression to its sound at all.
