I got the hankering to get a parlor guitar and went to check out the PRS SE P20E, which is inexpensive. It was okay until the guy suggested I try a Taylor GS Mini, and it was OMG nice. Tried the spruce w/rosewood, mahogany, and finally the koa. It was like the mahogany, but with a noticeable ring to it. I'm surprised guitars this nice are this affordable, and this thing begs you to pick it up and play. Koa guitars always look different, and this one is just fun to look at. I'm going to put a black pick guard on it that comes on some of the other ones- I can live with a little less koa to look at.
After I impulse bought it, I looked at some reviews. These are like the VW Beetles of the guitar world. Taylor makes more GS Minis than most manufacturer's make in total. I also found one being played here:
