Traveler-E-Steel : Excellent value, good workmanship, some adjustments needed

I live in Switzerland and occasionally travel to Greece (meine Heimatland). I wanted a small portable guitar to leave there and occasionally take with me on trips.

It's indeed a very small guitar. Its neck isn't so wide and the scale length is smaller than usual. Not quite a ukulele, but so much smaller than a typical guitar. It also has a matte finish all around.

The quality was good, especially considering the price. The frets didn't have any weird fret ends, but were a little rough. I didn't notice anything unusual in the binding, but even if I did, it's so cheap it doesn't matter.

I immediately replaced the strings. Didn't care what strings it came with initially, I just put some Elixirs on, yet... I didn't like how it played, because the action was too high. Though the neck was straight with no warping, I still had to adjust a bit the truss rod. Then I had to trim the bridge a bit, managed to drop it to 1,75 & 2mm on 12th fret E high & low respectively.

It sounds a bit thin, since the body shape is very very small. But it sounds good. It's easy to carry around, it's light and though the machine heads are no-name, they hold tuning relatively well.

I definitely recommend it if you want a small portable guitar to take around. The price is right and you will not regret it. I did deduct a point due to the less-than-perfect setup, but for the price, I could easily buy more of this as a gift for others.
