This is a nice promotion that Taylor is doing. I had a Mini a few years ago and loved it, unfortunately I sold it. I would like a 214cd-N because I have been wanting a nylon stringed guitar. If I go for it it would get the Mini E Koa for $299. Total price is $1,500. I could save some and get the 12-N with the Mini hog for $948? Or get the Mini E Koa and the 12-N for $1,048, that's like getting the 12-n for $48. What to do?

I'm mulling lots of options. I purchased a 314ce a little over a week ago and I'm trying to see if I can "return" it in order to take advantage of this deal.

I think the trick is you have to buy a more expensive guitar at full price. And I believe you can usually buy a Taylor at discount from list.

I was wondering about this. So you guys don't think you can get the usual 5-10% music store discount and then take advantage of this combo on top of that? You have to pay sticker price?

Thanks! My wife has purchased GS Mini recently and I shared this.
Ended up returning it and ordering Academy 12 and GS Mini Koa. Great deal!

Thread update...

The brick and mortar where I purchased my 314ce let me in on the promo and I picked up a GS Mini-e KOA for $300. I've only had it for a couple of hours but I can already tell that it is a keeper. I love the size/weight/ergos and I can see it living next to the couch for years to come.

I took advantage of this. Wife wanted a little upgrade and I am interesting in learning. Being lefty, it's easier to buy new, I got a gs mini e koa lefty and wife got a 22e walnut total out the door 1200. Seems like a decent buy.

Academy 12 was delivered, but GS Mini-e Koa is still in "Processing".
Guitar Center responded it'll come this week so hopefully soon.

Checking in again.... I am absolutely loving my GS Mini-e Koa. I have never played a small form factor guitar that sounds this good and that is so easy to move around the fretboard. It's not just a "couch guitar", Its a "sit on the couch in any comfortable position you can think of, couch guitar". Between my 314ce and the GS Mini the GS Mini is getting 90% of my guitar time. I find myself playing much more now that it is so convenient and as a result I'm getting better... faster!
