Traveler-Steel : Tiny and tinny.

2 years ago

To start with the positives, this is a nice looking guitar from a distance, and the neck on it is amazing for noodling.

However, this one isn't a strummer unless you're going to do some word on the bridge to intonate it. Obviously at this price point I wasn't expecting much in a little travel guitar, but I had been hoping I wouldn't have to put it up on the workbench to make it fully playable.

Also, the tone is fine when picking, but strumming is very tinny sounding. Again, I didn't get this to play in front of anyone but myself, so that doesn't matter, but the little body produces a tone that isn't overly similar to an acoustic guitar, as it's more like a ukulele.
