I have a number of guitars. Some of them expensive, and naturally I’m very nervous at putting these in the hold of a plane. For the practical point of view, this guitar is absolutely brilliantly well-made. With a fantastically well-made soft case which is relatively robust and is quite a lot of protection, even though it is a soft case technically. The the guitar rings. It doesn’t give you the full range of a dreadnought because of the physics of it. By comparison I own one other travel Guitar with a small body which sounds boxy by comparison. This guitar offers you the opportunity to play a full gig, plugged in other than on the tow bus around the campfire. Perfect for me as a singer songwriter on the move who travels a lot because of its size and practicality. It made you play more, which is always a good thing…..
