Fantastic Little Guitar!
Color: Matte Black
I can't say enough how much I love this little electric traveler's guitar! I bought and used it at a time when traveling when it was required to have the minimum amount of luggage, and it exactly suit my needs. I've taken it to the beach often (probably a bad idea because of the salt, but it shows no sign of extra wear), around with me on all-day adventures and it's survived quite a bit of rough, merciless travel and trekking. In it's case, it is very lightweight and easy to carry on your back, even underneath a backpack it feels natural and comfortable and because of its size is easy to control and doesn't whack into things. As far and quality and playability... I had no amp, so playing as if it were acoustic without being plugged in is still possible! It is quiet since there is nowhere for the sound to reverberate, but it has great sound that is beautiful, although I'm sure not as nice a huge-buck acoustic. It is nice just playing for yourself (would be too quiet without being plugged in to play for an audience larger than two or three up close to you), especially if you don't want to disturb others nearby by playing guitar. As far as durability, this thing is great! As said it's been brought around and handled somewhat roughly quite a bit, and I have all the confidence that this guitar will hold up for many, many years of use, if not my whole life, which I expect it will. The color doesn't chip away and all the materials are very solid and sure. The size is fantastic as mentioned, and it is easy to play, the neck is the same as a regular guitar in my opinion. The string knobs are at the bottom which is unusual but I love it actually. There are knobs that allow for a guitar strap, although I don't usually use one because it is very easy to hold up and grip on its own. The visual appearance of this guitar is fun and beautiful! I have a black walnut color on mine, and I couldn't ask for better to suit my preferences. On a fun note, I got a lot of comments from people asking what it was. In its case, some people asked if it was a rifle, a machete, and even a pool cue... interesting. That's just how this looks; interesting! I like being incognito, and sometimes that works because of the size, despite its strange appearance I definitely recommend this guitar to people looking for the same thing as me and who like quality and precision, especially to people often traveling or don't have the space, this guitar is perfect. This is one of the most favorite things I have ever bought for myself, and I would buy it again if something ever happened to it. I plan on always having this and might even use it as my primary guitar. There are absolutely no flaws; I love this guitar and it was worth every penny!

Great Portable Guitar
Color: Matte Black
This is a great little guitar! I can't believe how compact and lightweight it is. The action is great - allows for ripping out some solos or riffs. I use it as my main guitar as I can practice with a headphone amp without annoying my family too badly. I use it with the strap exclusively whether standing or sitting - just my preference. I find that to be the most comfortable and functional. The lack of a tone or volume knob is not that bothersome to me since I can adjust those with the headphone amp (see pictures). I am particularly fond of this headphone amp: https://a.co/d/igHVRvy It's a Vanphy portable headphone amp for $26.99. It has a lot of great features for that price but it is especially funtional with this Traveler guitar because it uses a 1/4" inch cable instead of an integrated plug design. This guitar has it's cable jack in the back (see pictures). So, a headphone amp with an integrated plug design makes it so you can't easily access the controls when it's plugged in and it's uncomfortable as the headphone amp can dig into your stomach a little while playing. I have also written a review for this amp titled "Great Companion For The Traveler Guitar". I highly recommend this guitar and headphone amp combo!

Great except for a few buzzy frets
Color: Matte Black
Great overall. It's tiny. Sounds amazing with an overdrive. Frets a bit buzzy, gotta fix that. Tuning feels weird, takes time to get used to. Body is so light that when standing with a strap the neck causes it to tilt sideways unless you hold it. Comes with a good gig bag, a leg rest and a pick. Overall great.

Great travel guitar, fits in overhead bins and light weight
Color: Torino Red
What an amazing guitar!!! This little beast is perfect for travel and is light weight, fits in airline overhead bins and is ready for play at a moments notice. I bought for the purpose of travel so I can practice in hotels. Easy to transport and what really impressed me is how well it stays in tune! I love the dynamics of the humbucker pickup and having the full size neck is wonderful. When first purchased I was unsure of the playability due to it's size but with the provided lap/knee support this gem sits perfectly and does not dip or slide. It is a little difficult to tune on the 1st string due to the location of the tuning peg if you have meathooks like I do but since the tuning is so stable it really is not a big issue. I showed this to several friend who play and all have purchase since then. A great travel companion at a reasonable price, and already considering buying the piezo electric as well.

Great guitar for practicing everywhere!
Color: Matte Black
Intro Let's breakdown this review for the porpsuse this guitar serves. It addresses traditional guitar bulkiness when you transport your guitar. Cons Do not buy this guitar as your main/recording/gig guitar. However you can use it as so, with obvious limitations. Like tone and analog controls. Tone/volume Do not buy this guitar if you want to learn from zero. It will feel uncomfortable, awkward, and even frustating. Since there is not the same comfort level as with a full size guitar. My use I have purchased this guitar to practice at a mine site where I work, and space is limited. I sleep in some sort of small hotel at site with the in walls so I cannot disturb my neighbors, and I cannot travel with a full size guitar. So this guitar adreesses both issues. I do connect the guitar to my apogee interface that I have used previously with iPhone/iPad and a traditional guitar. So, a minimalist setup was imperative. I use garage band, but you may use some more adavanced apps for more tones. Instrument Craftsmanship/Playability The guitar is well built and it seems that can last. Playability is also good, neck is comfortable, and action is low enough for some beginners. It comes with a lap rest and I feel is ok to use it, you can add a strap as well. You may find one solution better than the other one. The pick up is well enough to get you some good tones for practicing. I do not plan to do anything else than practicing or traveling with this instrument. I would prefer use my traditional guitars. Also the tuning pegs are somewhat hidden in the body, so get a string winder to replace strings with less hassle. To sum up. This guitar is perfect for my needs, I can practice pretty much everywhere I am, with minimal equipment. So that is a huge plus. If you have some similar needs you may want to consider this guitar!

Great sofa guitar
Color: Torino Red
I needed a guitar to perform two main functions. First, I wanted something that was mostly silent that I could "play" while my family was watching TV. Second, I wanted something small enough that I could easily toss it in the car and play while my son has his various sports practices. I'm really happy for both of those purposes. It's super light and small, but still has a full sized fingerboard. That makes it great for practicing or noodling around. It's much quieter than my acoustic though, so I'm not interrupting anyone else who might be watching TV. For the "car" use, it also turned out to be a good match. I've tried taking my strat in the car to play previously, but it never worked out. The center glove box thing would get in the way and I needed to open the window because the headstock would hit it otherwise -- not great. The lack of a headstock or appreciable body size takes that all away. I did upgrade to the "Traveler Guitar Locking Tuners Electric Guitar Tuning Key (LT CHR),Chrome" which was extremely worthwhile. The tuning stability is improved enough to make it worthwhile. The main downside that I see is that the sound quality isn't really anything to write home about. It isn't terrible, it's what you'd expect from a guitar that's $350.

Perfect for Travel and Practice
Color: Maple
I bought the Traveler Electric as a second guitar. I normally play an acoustic. I wanted something that I could take on car trips and since I already had an acoustic, I wanted to get an electric. It is perfect. I use a small earphone-amp and route it through a small travel speaker (Bluetooth travel speaker, but use a headphone wire into speaker line-in). Great, amazing sound and totally portable. I was concerned that the small size of the guitar might be awkward after playing my dreadnaught, but it turns out to be comfortable and easy to play. Craftmanship is excellent. I received the guitar in the one-day advertised delivery time on Amazon. Very happy with the purchase.

RIP OFF
Color: Matte Black
This is the cheapest guitar you can buy. Zero durability and zero playability. it feels like a cheap pos. This looks like cheap POS. I should have known. I travel a lot for work and have been trying to find ways to keep my skills sharp on the road. This is not it. The electronics on this worked for about a month and then stopped working altogether. Theres little nothing you can adjust in terms of setup. The pickup sounded good until it stopped working. I've reached out to customer support here and on their website and no one has responded to any of my calls. So, zero on customer service too. If you end up not buying this guitar based off of my review, THANK YOU. Would be glad to talk to anyone from customer service.
