  • Nice Guitar, Beautiful Sound, definitely design flaws & slightly overpriced.
NOTE: See "Update" at end of review I'm going to give this four stars balancing all factors including the condition received vs. the condition advertised, and price I paid for it, which was $228 (open box, or briefly used and returned). For $500, I would have given it three stars; if it had played perfectly right out of the box, I would have given it five stars for $250 for sure. I wound up getting an amazing deal, but if I lived in a small town and/or hadn't found a really sympathetic guitar tech, I would not have been happy. I would have sent it back, which is what the last owner did. As I expected given the price, the guitar I received was not new, even though it was advertised as "new." (The seller was Happy Haus.) It was obviously a return-- well packed, but high E string was broken, no manual, a few tiny smudges, etc. More seriously, the neck was back-bowed so the strings had a nasty buzz-- unusable. I was certain I would have to return it, but just for the hell of it, I went to a local guitar shop to see what they had to say. Basically, the back-bowing was the only problem; the tech adjusted the truss rod (for free), gave the neck some relief, and the buzz almost completely went away-- it's fine, within the limits of normal fret-buzzing you'd get just by playing less than perfectly, I would be totally okay recording with this instrument. More importantly, the intonation is very good-- not amazing, but much better than my other Traveler, as good or better than my other nylon string guitar. The action is also pretty good also for a nylon string guitar, probably better than the other classical guitars I've owned or borrowed, but not as low I like (I have a little arthritis.) Higher than steel, of course, but the strings require less pressure. Barre chords at the seventh fret are nearly dead-on in tune; up around the 10th and 12th, they high E, B and G are just a little bit sharp, but again, fine for performing or recording. The sound is really stunning either on headphones or amplified-- it does sound like a $500 guitar, I'll give it that. The thing with Travelers is, changing the strings and tuning is always going to be very irritating, and the action on all of their guitars is usually way too high. This one (after the adjustment) is better than usual. If I was going to gig with this-- and I might-- I think I'd need to check tuning after three or four songs. (I'm 60, and these days I usually only do showcases or guest spots, usually no more than four songs anyway.) It's just those crazy rollers for the strings... you crank and crank the pegs and nothing happens, then whoa-- you're sharp. Getting it right on is really not easy The neck issue did not bother the tech; he thought this was typical for a guitar that was shipped through the mail. I think it's kind of outrageous that a retailer would sell a unit that was completely, obviously unplayable. But, as the tech said, "Hey, their loss, your gain." The retailer was pretty lazy, and I think I made out like a bandit... I will amend this review if more issues develop. I do not understand why Travelers-- and most guitars under $500-- now seem to have such high action. In the '70s, '80s and '90s, guitars off the rack were much easier to play in general. Therefore, the fact that this was was quite playable-- after adjustment-- was a pleasant surprise. For the price I paid, I would give this five stars for sure. But I have to give it only four stars just because of the unit I received; I am guessing that the build quality and setup are very variable. If I had paid $500, I would give it three stars, so I'm splitting the difference. UPDATE 11/18/21: Okay, so, I still use this guitar, and I'm going to stick with the rating I gave it for the reasons I already provided, but I do have to note that one design problem was worse than I thought: The guitar does break strings-- fortunately, the high E is the usual culprit where this is truly annoying-- faster than it should. I'm pretty sure this is due to the metal nut-- there must be sharp edges that are cutting into the nylon. The problem can be reduced somewhat by buying ball-end nylon strings-- not easy to find, but a few different online retailers sell them-- this will extend the life of the high E considerably, so I can take a week long trip without having to restring, and sometimes it will go several months without the E string breaking. What I do, basically, is every time I get a new set of strings, I buy a few extra high E strings, and I still use the guitar for weekends away and occasionally for recording. However, I don't use it as much as I'd like, because the high E STILL has a much shorter lifespan than it should. I also find the tuning more annoying; this just doesn't work so well as a grab-and-go. Again, for the price I paid, I'm still going with four stars, but more like a 3.6 rounded up! I may take it in to a luthier and see what it would cost to file down the holes in the nut a bit so they aren't so sharp. ... show more

  • This classic traveller guitar is just what I was looking for
I love this traveller guitar - it has met my fussy expectations for the following reasons: - Truly full-scale length of 25.5 inches from nut to saddle (so your fingers and nervous system are being trained to play to the full scale length), - High quality, beautiful high gloss on the cedarwood soundboard (front of the guitar), and (as another review mentioned) I love the satin maple neck; it feels really comfortable, is easy to use, and I just enjoy caressing it! - You can plug in your headphones into the 3.5mm headphone jack (at the top of the guitar) to listen to your own playing through your headphones. AND, if you want to play along to some music, you can plug your mp3 player/iPod into the 3.5mm AUX IN jack (also at the top of the guitar) and listen to yourself playing along to some music. You can use the 1/4 inch (6.35mm) output jack at the base of the guitar (with a 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch (3.5mm) adapter) to plug into a speaker or amplifier - I plug it into my BOSE SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speaker (I can plug this into either the 1/4 inch output jack at the base, OR into the headphone jack at the top of the guitar). If I want to, I can listen through headphones and play through an external speaker all at the same time by using all three ports (with or without the iPod music). The tuning keys are not as easy to adjust as those on a normal headstock since they are not as easy to access (but they are easy enough!). For the first few days I had to adjust the tuning just about every day I played, but after that it has kept pretty well in tune. Hey with the tuning keys tucked into the body of the guitar, the total length of the guitar is just about a couple of inches longer than the actual scale length - which is what we want in a traveller guitar - brilliant! I find this guitar ideal for taking up classical guitar again after learning when I was a child. It is easy to just pick up and use in front of the laptop or DVD player when I play along to some instructional DVDs (I'm using The Principles of Correct Practice DVD for Guitar by Jamie Andreas), and I'm really big on ergonomics (I understand this is the best Traveler guitar for that purpose) and learning to use my mind/body correctly and in a relaxed way, which is what this DVD teaches, to enable me to reach higher levels of playing which is only possible if you learn to play without unnecessary tension in the muscles. I'm also using Aaron Shearer's book (Classic Guitar Technique, Vol 1: Book & CD (Shearer Series) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0739057103?colid=1DQZWUNHWFC6G&coliid=I25S0MVC0H1CQJ&ref_=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl ). The Levy's 2 inch suede guitar strap is great (for me) with this guitar since the honey colour complements the cedar colour beautifully, and it has a shorter length adjustable from 37 to 54 inches - Levy's Leathers MS12-HNY 2-inch Suede-Leather Strap Honey http://www.amazon.com/Levys-Leathers-MS12-HNY-2-inch-Suede-Leather/dp/B000XPSJN2/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1449391261&sr=8-2&keywords=levy%27s+suede+2+inch+honey+strap I hope this helps you in your search for your next guitar. ... show more
