amazing difference!  sounds brighter but still has the warm rich koa sound.

Thank you Dane...very clear instruction and explanation. Awesome job!

Good video Dane!!!!!!!)))  The pins made it brighter!!! That good to know!Thanks!!!!!!)))🎸🎸🎸😊

Thanks for the informative video. Just bought me a koa version today. Liked and subscribed, my friend!

Dane, Sorry I’m not sure what the pins were made of but they seemed harder to the touch and longer than the supplied ones.

I have a Koa GS. Just swapped the bridge pins for ones from a 1980 Fender acoustic. I cannot believe the difference. Much more bite:)

Wow, I have this guitar. I also like to watch you make es 335,which is my another dreamed one.

Dane I dunno why you don't have more subscribers, you do great work, just keep doing it and eventually the algorithm will make them come.

I’ve been noticing more and more non-spruce top guitars recently. Given the odd set-up this one came with, I’m guessing its design goal was to look good—full stop.  Good video, Dane!

Those Pins sound great…
My mini koa kind of sounds muted and dead.  It’s a cool sound in its own right, but I’ve always wanted it to be a little brighter.  Thanks.

The GS mini koa is hands down the best value on the market.

Would have been nice if you showed how to adjust the truss rod.  The mini is a different beast apparently.  Moving on.

Let me start by saying that I’m no expert, however my understanding is that Taylor guitars have been designed to use their shim system to set string height. I took my guitar to a Gold certified Taylor repairer and that’s basically what they told me. You shouldn’t, apparently, need to make adjustments to the nut or saddle if you have access to their shims (which change the overall angle of the neck). Happy to be corrected, but just thought I’d share what I’ve heard. Oh, I also believe that if your guitar is still under warranty and you’re the first registered owner, the cost of any shim adjustments can be covered under warranty if you use a certified Taylor repairer.

SIR,ARE THOSE BLACK BRIDGE PINS THAT COMES WITH THE GUITAR ARE  PLASTIC OR EBONY?I THINK THEY FITS WELL RATHER THAN THOSE WHITE PINS THAT YOU INSTALLED...

Good job sir 👍 subbed ur channel to look for more awesome vids!!!

What a palava. First check neck relief, then nut slots height, then neck angle. If the action is high, change the heel shims. Never mess with the saddle on a Taylor..

What about a truss rod adjustment? Mine doesn't take an allen key

If I do a trust rod adjustment to my gs mini mahogany and get it around 2.4mm on the low e on the 12 fret. There seems to be some fret buzz close the second fret on the g and b string.  Almost a dead sound.  But if it don’t have that low. It’s hard to play and f  or bar chords up the neck.  Is there something I should be looking for ?!

Hi Dane. I'm waiting for my GS Mini Koa to be delivered and I have a question. Some people advise getting my guitar set up even though it's brand new because it's rare for a guitar, even one fresh from the factory, to be perfectly set up and ready to play. So, they suggest getting it set up to make it easier to play, especially for a beginner like me. Is this true? Thanks.

Hello! I have a problem with my gs mini Taylor walnut guitar. Whenever I tune it and play my guitar, it gets out of tune. I wonder why. Do I need to change anything on my guitar? I’m bothered :( of the sound
