This little guitar is great. I purchased it with the intention of maximizing my practice time. I am a professional fingerstyle guitarist and I wanted a little guitar that I could have strapped to me 24/7 to always be honing my skills. This is basically exactly what I wanted. I would have given the guitar 5 stars, but my only problem with it is changing the strings. I just changed the factory light strings to Elixir mediums and the whole process was a major pain! But, on a purely functional basis, the guitar gets 5 stars, even if it takes some adjustment because of the small body size..

This guitar is simply amazing. I bought it purely for practice and I figured it'd sound really mediocre, since it's just a slab of wood with a piezo. When I got it I was blown away. It sounds as good as a real electric/acoustic hollowbody and it is now one of my main performance guitars. Because it's good enough to perform with I tend to use it a lot due to its portability. It's like the camera in your phone - you tend to use it because it's there, as opposed to the pricier and perhaps better one that's sitting at home on your shelf that you didn't bring with. One caveat: the workmanship on the neck was not perfect, so I paid my tech $150 to "tune it up". But hey, even with that cost included, it's an incredible deal. Oh yes and since it's so small guess what - it's the one guitar I use most for practicing, just as I had originally intended. And yes it does fit - easily - in the overhead bin of an airplane.
