    • had to do a few mods
Color: Blue Style: Shorty HCT-SH-BL
Its good after some work. Had to file down two frets a little, I changed the strings and had to tie the strap on the end of the neck and not clip to the centre body mount. A lot of people complained that the neck is too heavy for the body, well yes, the body is very small. Just tie the strap to the end of the neck, no more heavy neck problem. ... show more

    • Surprisingly good! I love it
Color: Blue Style: Shorty HCT-SH-BL
I own 6 other guitars. I got this one to carry during a vacation. It was no problem at all during the flights. No one has a problem with it as carry on in the airport and it fit in the overhead compartment of the tiny plan I was in just fine. I had to file the fret ends and do some basic cleanup on the fretboard. However once setup this thing shines. The humbucker is really good. The neck is a good thickness and not too skinny. It has a full 24 frets. Only problem is the neck dive so you will need to get the strap on the headstock and not the pin behind the neck joint. All in all I love this guitar and find myself picking it up even at home quite often as it is a lot of fun to play. Go for it! ... show more

    • Small, but could be awkward to play
Color: Blue Style: Shorty HCT-SH-BL
For traveling this is an awesome size, but the configuration and shape of the body makes the neck very heavy and not something you can easily play by a camp fire.

Beautiful & sturdy. The light weight and small body make this an easy guitar to manipulate if you’re someone who has hand or wrist issues/disabilities.

    • The neck is heavier then the body makes it difficult to play.
Color: Purple Style: Shorty HCT-SH-PU
Looks great ! It sounds great! Light weight, but severe neck dive. I bought it to practice with rather then a practice neck. Short of throwing the guitar out the window I have my guitar strap hooked through a carabiner in a belt loop on my stretch pants with a cloth bag full of weights or door hinges or something to weight the body down to keep it from neck diving. I tried various things even attached wheel weights it did not work. leaning back in the sofa is the only way to really play it without holding the neck up. I truly believe the creator(s) of this guitar did a poor job and do not recommend it to anyone. don't waist your money. ... show more

    • My own purple haze....
Color: Purple Style: Shorty HCT-SH-PU
I love this little guitar. I did however replace the pickup with an EMG 89R, Grover 406C Rotomatic Mini Self Locking Machine Heads, Graph Tech ResoMax NW2 Wraparound Bridge with String Saver Saddles and Dunlop SLS1031N Straplok® Dual Design Strap Retainer System... The guitar has plenty of body to hold onto, the new bridge allow's for resting your palm a bit. Setting the pick-up low prevents the guitar from being too bright and having to play near the neck, but too low and it's muddy. Action is fantastic. Very light and easy to bend. Super Slinky's work well but 1-3 as Nickel and 4-6 as M-Steel have a unique blend. Not sure why, but all experimental. Nickel would be best choice if I had to make one today. Finish of the guitar is fantastic. I feel I got lucky. The neck is very basic, the rosewood has imperfections and flaw's (actual hairline grain cracks) but it's smooth and plays fast. Since this is only a color, I would imagine the other colors are equal in quality. This guitar made a great base to build from. ... show more

    • Great Entertainment when you're stuck in the airport!
Color: Blue Style: Shorty HCT-SH-BL
I'm a total newb that needed something to practice on is the reason I purchased this guitar. It travels well on a plane.....just make sure to ask the flight attendant to put it on top in the overhead bin or in a closet. I've managed to manipulate the tone and volume to get a nice, creamy, clean tone just the way I like. It came packaged in a double box and a case with plenty of plastic and bubble wrap. The guitar was very clean and unblemished on arrival. I guess what you call the setup was very good, because there were know buzzing frets, no sharp edges, and it stays in tune fairly well. The neck was also perfectly straight. The one thing that I found very frustrating in the beginning was figuring out how to get this guitar to balance in my lap. the neck has a gravity pull that defies Mother Earth. I purchased a strap,but that doesn't help the diving situation. Aside from that aggravation, I received a ton of pleasure for the money. P.S. Thanks for the picks and the stickers! ... show more
