At the price I just had to try this little travel guitar. It certainly doesn't sound as good as a Martin or Ovation, but it is a servicable instrument that is small enough to tuck behind the seat in my pickup.

The neck takes a little getting used to as it is narrower than what I'm used to. The neck really is about a ¾ sized neck. I may yet spring for one of the travel guitars with a standard sized classical neck, but for now the Apple Creek is "good enough" and didn't set me back too many bucks.

This is a pretty,little travel guitar, at a great price. It is small enough to fit in an airline overhead bin. Despite this, I don't like mine at all. It won't stay in tune. The neck is much smaller around than a regular fretboard. I just don't enjoy playing it. Backpackers have similar sound, a little better, but with regular-width fretboard, and higher quality mechanical parts so they stay in tune better. :) I've also owned a Little Martin as a travel guitar. The Little Martin sounded the best of the three, but I felt like I had a juvenile guitar. It is the most fun to own and play the Backpacker when I'm out hiking around, or sitting in the car traveling.

This review is from: Applecreek Travel Guitar w Pickup

I love my little Applecreek travel guitar! It is small, sounds decent and it's extremely lightweight, which is what I want in a travel guitar. I don't expect it to sound like a full size, I can play those when I need that kind of sound. But this little guitar is perfect for bringing on trips, to the park or camping - and it does have a pretty good sound for its price!
