🎸 What Is It
📐 Size
¾: scale 580–610 mm. ~90–95 cm total. Compact: airplane overhead, car boot, backpack. Travel, camping, couch practice.
🔌 Electro
Piezo + preamp: volume, EQ, tuner. Jack → PA/combo/interface. Through piezo = full sound (compensates smaller unplugged). Busking, live, recording.
🎯 Who For
Travellers (plane, train, car). Kids 8–12 (¾). Busking (+ portable combo). Second instrument (by the couch). Studio (DI).
🇺🇸 Taylor GS Mini-e
📐 GS Mini-e
Most popular mini electro worldwide. Grand Symphony (large for mini). Solid top. 597 mm. ES-B piezo+tuner. Sounds like full-size! Taylor quality.
📐 Versions
Spruce: spruce/sapele — bright. Mahogany: warm. Koa: Hawaiian. Rosewood: deep. Bass: mini bass!
🎯 Why #1
Solid top. ES-B. Large body for mini. Taylor build. Downside: pricier. If budget allows — GS Mini-e.
🇺🇸 Martin LX
📐 LX1E
Little Martin with piezo: HPL top, Fishman Sonitone. 584 mm. More compact than GS Mini. Ed Sheeran plays LX1E!
📐 Ed Sheeran
Signature mini based on LX1. HPL, Fishman, unique design. ÷ (Divide) and × (Multiply) series.
🎯 HPL vs Solid
HPL (Martin): tough (humidity, bumps, temperature) — ideal for travel & kids! Tone acceptable. Solid (Taylor): better tone, more sensitive. Travel → HPL. Tone → solid.
🇯🇵 Yamaha
📐 APXT2
¾ APX: thin body, cutaway, piezo+tuner. Solid top. Most affordable quality mini electro. Kids, worship, travel. Yamaha stability.
📐 JR2
¾ dreadnought, solid top — no piezo. Can add external (Fishman Neo-D). Or APXT2 = JR2 with piezo+thin+cutaway.
🎯 Why
APXT2 = most affordable mini electro. Solid top. Tuner. Thin. Cutaway. Much cheaper than Taylor/Martin.
🌍 Fender, Others
📐 Fender
Redondo Mini-E: ¾, Fishman, California style. FA-15E: budget. Malibu Mini-E. Stylish travel, kids.
📐 Cort / Epiphone
Cort AD Mini-E: solid top, budget. Epiphone EL-00 PRO: parlor, Fishman. Ibanez EWP14: piccolo. Budget travel.

🎻 Nylon Mini
📐 Cordoba Mini II MH-CE
Nylon mini with piezo: mahogany, cutaway, Fishman. Best nylon travel with pickup. Soft strings. Kids, flamenco practice.
📐 Others
Yamaha GL1 Guitalele (no piezo). Ortega RGL5CE: guitalele with piezo! Cordoba Guilele-CE.
🎯 Steel/Nylon
Steel (GS Mini-e): bright, rock/pop. Sore 2–3 wks. Nylon (Mini II): soft, classical/kids. No pain. Kids 8–10 → nylon.
👦 Kids
📐 8–12
APXT2 (budget). GS Mini-e (quality). LX1E (HPL, tough). Redondo Mini-E (stylish). Steel.
📐 5–8
Cordoba Mini II MH-CE (nylon, piezo, soft). Or classical 1/2 without piezo (CGS102A). Nylon recommended.
🎯 Why Piezo
Performances (school, worship). Learning (piezo→Yousician). Recording (DI→GarageBand). Just learning — not essential.
🎵 Busking
📐 Setup
GS Mini-e + Roland AC-33 (batteries, 30W) = mobile full sound. Or LX1E + Fishman Loudbox Mini. APXT2 + Boss Acoustic Singer.
📐 Why Mini
Lighter to carry. Less space. Through piezo = full sound. HPL (LX1E): rain-proof, bump-proof — ideal for street.
📐 Portable Combos
Roland AC-33: batteries, busking classic. Boss Acoustic Singer LT: 60W. Bose S1 Pro: portable PA. JBL Eon One Compact.
