Top for the price

Great model, clear sound, nice look!

Be careful though - it is "travel" size, and that is why I had to return it with great sadness and look for a larger shape.

Excellent guitar for a re price

I found this guitar quite interesting, for the size and looks and the price was really appealing too. The sound is quite unique, so much string sound because of a smaller body, I really love that sound. It´s also nice to be able to plug it into an amp.

Really great guitar and affordable too. Highly recommended.

Fantastic grab and go

I always wanted a small grab and go guitar and I think I found the most bang for the money one.

In the beginning the sound was weak and almost apologetic but as the wood is getting older the guitar really starts to shine with a fuller, less metallic sound.

The pickup is good enough and with a little post processing it can be used for recording.

The neck profile is on the thin side, very confortable for me.

The guitar needed some TLC when I got it (mostly addressing the frets which were horrible out of the factory - I had to rectify them in order to be able to do a simple bend...) but overall the build quality is OK and at the price/quality is fantastic.

Pros: Excellent sound for a small guitar, unbeatable bung for your buck, portability.

Cons: Not really, considering the price.

Great Guitar, Great price. Great set-up.

What a great guitar. After searching a lot for small guitars that I could take on travel, I found by chance this fender series.

Ready to play just outside the box, after 3 days is already in tune, for long periods of time and with a lot of playing.

The sound is not that small, trebly, because of the size but no small.

Great for Delta Blues but you can also strum along without a problem. I like the sound a lot.

The pickup/tuner is excellent, although the sound of the guitar gets more rounder. Not a problem for me.

Very happy with it.
