GS-Travel-E Mahogany : Wonderful Guitar!

6 years ago

Overall I think this guitar is well worth the money. Although I would recommend a good setup too to get the most out of it. So keep that mind when buying a guitar in this price range.

Cosmetically it is beautiful, really nice wood and finish. I love the colour.

Playability: I thought the action was a little high at first, so I got it professionally setup. I got the action lowered and new strings After a good setup, I loved it even more.

Sound: Lovely sounding guitar, I like it a lot. For a small guitar it is warmer and louder than I expected. Pickup is ok, not really sure how it compares to other pickups. But it works and I had no issues with the jack or electronics. Although the adessive backing on the pickup isn’t the best. In the end I had to glue the pickup so it would stay in place.

I don’t really use the pickup but it is a nice option to have. I’d much rather mic this guitar/

Neck: Please also be aware the neck is a V shape neck. I forgot that when buying. Initially I wasn’t sure about the V profile neck. It was just different to what I played before. But over time you will get used to it and it just feels like a normal neck now. I think it is a comfortable neck to play and it is easier to do the thumb over the neck thing with a V neck. So it’s good if you like fretting notes with your thumb.

Tuners are ok, especially at this price point.

The gigbag is a very very nice addition too!
