    • This is the answer to the question, how do I travel with a guitar?
Review Image by badphd
I gave my son my TG Hot Rod Deluxe because his guitars have been in storage for a while. But I’m still traveling a lot by motorcycle and plane, so I used my kind gift as an excuse to get myself a new tool. This is amazing. More than a traveler guitar, this is an excellent guitar in every way. It feels great, has a fantastic sound, and has exceptional build quality. I like the onboard amp and tuner. But it really shines when I plug it into an amp. I love my Strat Am Pro 2, but this is a close second as my favorite guitar. It might even get more play because I like to play around the house and outside, and I don’t want to risk my Strat. One thing I would like: soft edges. This follows the same design as a Les Paul, with hard edges on the body and fretboard. I like the contoured edges of a Strat. It is more comfortable and easier to reach the upper frets. Regardless, this plays so well that I will just have to adapt. This will get a lot of play. Highly recommended. ... show more

    • Pretty good overall
NOTE: Instruments vary, I am reviewing ONLY my unit ! Pros: o With some minor effort, excellent action and playability o Built-in amp allows playing with headphones o Built-in tuner keeps the instrument on pitch o Strings hold their tune very well - so tuner mechanisms are good quality o (Mostly) excellent fit and finish o Neck is true and level o Intonation was perfect out of the box o Readily accessible truss rod at the nut o Two standard strap pegs on the guitar body o Light, well balanced, short-necked and small-bodied. VERY portable. o Readily accessible electronics under screw-mounted plate o Really nice gig/travel bag o It was well packed, shipped safely Cons: o NASTY 1mm cratered paint blemish near the root strap peg :( o Re-stringing is a pain, as bottom string rollers are not retained except by strings o Supplied strings were (A) too heavy for decent action and (B) dead o Action, as supplied, was way too high, even ignoring the clunky strings o Distortion is very dry; most players (and me!) prefer a warm, tubelike tone o Tuner "almost right" yellow indicator LEDs are nearly indistinguishable from green "tuned" LEDs o All three jacks are on the bottom radius, so right-angle plugs required when sitting o Audio input requires a cable; most phones now lack a headphone output. Needs bluetooth So my first couple of days, I wasn't all that happy. I was waiting on the delivery of some light strings (Super Slinkys) and hadn't bothered to detune the instrument to adjust the bridge height, which was really way, way too high. When the strings arrived, I round-filed the supplied strings all at once so I could check the trueness of the neck, and... the rollers and rod at the bottom of the guitar fell to the floor, rollers scattering everywhere. After, all, rollers, lol. So after that little disaster was straightened out and the rollers retrieved from my cats, I re-strung the guitar to a very iight tension, lowered the bridge appropriately, and then tuned it up. If you re-string the instrument (and I definitely suggest you do), do it one string at a time. Otherwise, it'll fall apart. NOW the guitar sounds and plays like a dream. So, bottom line, be prepared to do a decent setup on the neck, watch out for those darned rollers, and likely you'll be pretty happy. If you want good distortion tone, you'll need a tiny travel amp. If you're a clean player, you'll be fine. ... show more

    • Game changer!
One of the best investments I’ve ever made! I had low expectations, based on some of the reviews, but once i played it for myself I was blown away. It feels like a quality instrument in the hands. I was surprised to find that I like the tone of the pickup and feel of the neck better than many of the “real” guitars in my collection. Perhaps, because I’ve gotten so used to my Telecaster’s that tend to reveal all the flaws in my playing, but this traveler sounds a lot smoother in a way. It’s amazing to me how when playing along with my favorite tunes or learning something new on YouTube, how the built-in headphone amp perfectly blends the sound of my guitar playing with the music going in the aux jack. It’s like I’m playing in the same room as the people on YouTube, lol! Anyways, I apologize for gushing over a silly thing like a travel guitar, but I truly wish I would have picked up one of these sooner in life, as I’m now practicing more. For a while, I felt like I didn’t have the energy after work to strap on my old guitars, plug into large amps and fire up the rig. This doesn’t feel as cumbersome. I can sit on the sofa, next to my wife while she watches TV, and neither of us are bothering each other, just enjoying each other's company while relaxing and being self entertained. Please note; I knocked it down one star, because it is expensive, and I think some people will find it about $100 overpriced. However, money is relative. If the price tag doesn’t scare you and you can afford it, I’d say go for it. I’d even recommend selling some of your older guitars collecting dust. That’s what I did, and as you can tell by this review, I have no regrets about it! Game changer! ... show more

This guitar packs a lot of tech in with great playability. I originally was going to buy the acoustic version but went and played one at a guitar center and didn't like the wide neck. I took a chance on this electric version because it was on sale on prime day and am glad I got this one. It looks fantastic, and is super fun to play. The electronics are where this thing packs a punch. I was excited to find that because it has a headphone amp, I could also plug it into the aux input on my Marshall Bluetooth speaker turning it into a little amp! Not too many choices for tones onboard and they don't sound the greatest, that's not what this guitar is about. It's main purpose is portability. The built in tuner is a little weird but works fine. There is an aux input where you could plug backing tracks. Overall very happy with this purchase and for the price, especially on sale was well worth it. ... show more

    • Comfortable to play.

Two full days using this guitar and I cannot find fault with it. The four channels suit me fine for the rock music I play. When I feed music into the auxiliary it comes through the headphones in a way that has made playing along with songs very enjoyable. One bonus is the fact that a 4-year-old can handle this guitar with ease. I can play this guitar as well as my other ones ... show more

    • Great product, could be improved
Great guitar so far. Very convenient and easy to use. I feel like the built in effects could’ve been done better, as the Drive especially and also the distortion sound harsh, screeching, and non musical. As high tech as this guitar is I’d hoped for the effects to be a little nicer sounding or more clear I guess. Also, just about every time I bend a note I have to retune the string, but this may just be because I just got it yesterday and it may need to adjust or whatever. It really is a great guitar overall, despite my written reviews detailing my complaints more than praises. I guess I just want to offer suggestions for improvements. I also feel like you could’ve fit a 22nd fret which is especially helpful for getting an extra note+bend in the Am and Em pentatonic. But once again I love the guitar and am taking it with me on a wilderness trip that I think it will be perfect for. ... show more

    • Absolutely a great practice tool.
I am so glad I bought this guitar. I take it to work, on the hiking trail, on the couch while family is watching tv, and I don't bother a soul. It put my headphones on and jam away. And I've read a lot about it not staying in tune. That is not my experience at all. It is always in tune when I go to play. I check it every time before I practice and I have not had to tune it yet after 2 weeks. Time will tell, but I am so glad I got this guitar. I get way more practice now than I did before with my other guitars and I don't piss off my family, coworkers or fellow hikers. I absolutely would recommend this to anyone, especially as a practice tool. It sounds great. I primarily only use the clean and distortion settings, but all 4 sound great. Highly recommend this product and I own 6 other guitars. I grab this one way more than those. ... show more

    • Buyer Beware no customer service if bought from Amazon
My guitar won't stay in tune. I contacted the seller they said that because I bought it from Amazon that they couldn't help me and that the guarantee didn't stand.
