Nice Traveler Acoustic Guitar

When I thought about a Traveler Guitar I did my research. Small guitar the size of this charming Mini DS-10 it have been used by famous guitar players in the world such as Sting, Dave Matthews, Ed Sheeran, Lindsey Buckingham, Richard Durrant etc. Besides the price was so tempting and unbeatable, it would have been silly no to get one for just a try. The guitar is very practical for transportation. Considering the size of it body, the guitar has a very pleasant, mellow and peculiar sound in comparison with the “Harley Benton Traveler-E-Steel”, which is even smaller. It is similar size of the Baby Taylor however 4 times less expensive. I confess I did personal adjustments such as I lower the guitar Saddle (Bridge) and the guitar Nut, I also adjusted the neck. I made all of these changing in order to obtain the lower action possible and have a great playability smooth as butter. I liked the guitar and I began to use it since then. I wish the guitar would have install an internal Pickup. The guitar comes with a gig-bag that I wish would had a better cushioning to protect the instrument and it will be a bit bigger. Nevertheless I enjoy the guitar. The intonation is not that accurate. If I recommend it? Yes, I recommend it. I wanted to have a Traveler Acoustic Guitar now I have it, I can NOT complain for the prize I paid.

Uncharacteristically poor

I have been very impressed with the quality of all the Harley Benton guitars I have purchased. They usually represent excellent quality and value for the money. Sadly the 'Mini' is not cut from the same cloth. There are rough edges and blemishes everywhere, the dot inlays on the neck don't even line up properly. The sound is tinny and twangy and the whole thing just feels unacceptably cheap. It's a shame, as this would be perfect for kids or beginners, but the lack of quality means that it would be more trouble than it is worth. Avoid.

Nice appearance, good for beginners.

This mini acoustic guitar is good for beginners. Sound of it is not amazing but good enough in this range of price. It is portable as well, if you want to bring a guitar in a trip or camping, just go for this one. However, the gig bag included is not really fit the guitar, its too small! Apart from that, everything is good! Beginners can have a go on this mini guitar.
