Comparing two guitars
I've been continuing my search for a while, and i think i've narrowed it down to two different makes and models. The first:
[url=http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/the-loar-lh-250-small-body-acoustic-guitar]The Loar LH-250[/url]
The second: [url=http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/taylor-gs-mini-mahogany-acoustic-guitar]Taylor GS Mini[/url]
The two big differences: Both are small body guitars, but the LH-250 has a full 25.5 scale and the GS Mini has a shortened 23.5 scale.
The LH-250 is mahogany sides/back with a spruce top, the GS Mini is all mahogany.
So I need some opinions. Does a shortened scale have any negative effects on playability in your opinion? And do you prefer spruce or mahogany tops?

(I personally like cedar tops but that's not an option here, lol.) The spruce top will more vivid trebles. Louder and a bit higher, "twangy" if you will. The mahogany top has very rich bass and mids, a very full tone. Quieter and deeper. So it depends on your play style. If you'll be playing lead, hitting a lot of solos with a lot of fingerpicking, maybe the spruce top (LH-250). If you're playing more chorus with a bit more strumming, maybe pick the mahogany top (Taylor). Personally, I like the sound of the Taylor better.
