GS-Travel-E Mahogany : Great for the price

Probably the most pristine electro-acoustic guitar in the price range. The finish is good, and it is quite smooth to play. The shorter scale provides an easy-going feel for relaxed doodling and a better reach, especially for those with shorter fingers. The size also provides the possibility of traveling with it, depending on which airline one books.

The only two problems with the guitar are regarding the pre-amp. The lack of an actual EQ in the pre-amp is problematic as it provides a single kind of 'all-around' sound, which is alright but lacks versatility.

Another problem is the ridiculous placing of the power source inside the guitar near the soundhole. The removing and attaching of the battery requires one to remove or loosen the strings to succeed, which is very unpractical and almost dumb by design.

One might not feel this a big problem, but for me, a streamlined approach is important, whether it be budget or boutique guitar.

All-in-all, an excellent guitar for the price. Everything is great except for the eq and battery placement, which is the reason I am returning this product.
