Blackstar Carry On ST Travel Guitar VW 5-stars Reviews

Great small guitar once you get used to it

I live in Spain and play in bands there so ordered this for England so I could stay in guitar-playing shape while here, so I mostly play it unamplified. The resonance of the body when you play an open chord goes on forever - a bit like a piano with the sustain pedal down. If you lay it on your left leg and lodge it in place with your right it pretty comfortably stays in place - it's fine standing up with a strap as well. It can go a little out of tune but after a month I think I'm getting the hang of tweaking the tuning quite quickly - I'd probably dare to play a short gig with it now. I recently tried the more expensive version with all the binding and so on in a guitar shop but far prefer this one - for me, a Telecaster man, it looks way cooler, it feels more solid, it appears to have more resonance in the body and the single coil option from pulling up the volume knob didn't sound that great to me. I really love playing the standard version, it might even inspire a song or two ;o)
