Traveler-E-Steel : Fantastic for the price, but with a few issues.

5 years ago

While the guitar is playable out of the box, the action is a little higher than I'd like, and it's poorly intonated. Adjusting the truss rod fixed these issues for me.

The tuners are fantastic, especially for the price, although it still needs to be tuned a few times per 2 or 3 hour play.

The strings it arrived with aren't great, replaced them almost immediately.

The pickup sounds great, however it seems to struggle to pick up the highest string. Not sure if that's a problem with my guitar specifically, but I usually play with the lower strings anyway when I play acoustic so this doesn't bother me too much.

Acoustically it has a rather thin sound, but that's to be expected with the size of the instrument. Paired with a full sized acoustic it adds a great new depth to mixes.

Overall, for £70 after shipping I'm very impressed with the guitar and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a different sound or a guitar to take travelling with them.
