Published on 08/04/04 at 15:00I bought this travel guitar at Sam Ash in Miami, Florida for $150.00
This little guitar rocks! It is small enough to take anywhere, yet has a full size neck. Just perfect. The sound out of this little guitar is amazing. The craftmanship is very good, especially for the price. And the most amazing thing is the case! It looks like the case alone should be worth $150.00!
The only downside of this guitar is that the body tends to slip and slide a bit. If it where slightly fuller it would help. But it comes with a strap which helps. If you are used to a full size guitar, it will definitley take some getting used to the feel. But this is true for any travel guitar, and this one is by far the best of all I tried (Martin Backpacker, Littel Martin, Baby Taylor) considering the sound, quality and price.
The top is solid spruce, the sides and back are laminated mahogany, with binding which gives it a top quality appearance. It is set up with extra light Vinci strings. The quality is unbelievable, especially for the price!
Bottom line is I highly reccomend this guitar for anyone looking for a travel guitar, who wants it to also sound decent.
