GS-Travel Mahogany : A Little Wonder.

I bought this guitar for two reasons. One I wanted to have an inexpensive 'chuck around' guitar that I could just bung in the car and take anywhere. Secondly I don't recall reading such glowing reviews of a guitar from...well.. anywhere.

On both counts this little gem definitely ticks all the boxes. No, actually it exceeds expectations big time, because for a little guitar it is exceptionally well made and sounds incredible. OK of course, you wouldn't expect it to it have the volume of a dreadnaught but the tone is awesome, full and balanced with none of the tinniness normally associated with small cheap guitars. Even many expensive full size guitars would have a struggle matching the sound and playability of this little wonder.

The bag is well made, strong and sturdy with carry handles and shoulder straps, the guitar stays in tune there are no sharp fret edges and the mahogany finish looks amazing especially when given a bit of a polish. Action is perfect and even with arthritic fingers bar chords are easily made and perfectly clean sounding. And I couldn't say that about my top of the range Yamaha until it had seen a tech.

If I looked hard to find fault it would be picky in the extreme. Yes the fret wire is dull, but er.....that's it.

So there you are, an amazing guitar for an amazingly cheap price. I have to keep playing it to believe it.
