Traveler-Steel : Decent quality for the price

10 years ago

I bought this on a whim as I've quite fancied a smaller bodied guitar to take on holiday and use when sitting on the couch, when I saw the price I decided to chance it.

After a load of hassle from the courier (Parcelforce - what a bunch of incompetent knackers they are!) I finally recieved the guitar.

All in all it's pretty good, sound wise it's pretty loud for the size (I tune down to Eb so as to not put too much pressure on the neck), action is quite high. Build quality is okay, there's a small ding on the fretboard which, although it doesn't affect playability, doesn't look very nice. The binding is quite well applied but there's some excess glue showing around the neck join to the body which is to be expected for this price of instrument.

All in all, not an outstanding guitar but I'm happy enough for the price I paid for fit!
