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.

NOTE: Instruments vary, I am reviewing ONLY my unit !Pros:o With some minor effort, excellent action and playabilityo Built-in amp allows playing with headphoneso Built-in tuner keeps the instrument on pitcho Strings hold their tune very well - so tuner mechanisms are good qualityo (Mostly) excellent fit and finisho Neck is true and levelo Intonation was perfect out of the boxo Readily accessible truss rod at the nuto Two standard strap pegs on the guitar bodyo Light, well balanced, short-necked and small-bodied. VERY portable.o Readily accessible electronics under screw-mounted plateo Really nice gig/travel bago It was well packed, shipped safelyCons: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 stringso Supplied strings were (A) too heavy for decent action and (B) deado Action, as supplied, was way too high, even ignoring the clunky stringso Distortion is very dry; most players (and me!) prefer a warm, tubelike toneo Tuner "almost right" yellow indicator LEDs are nearly indistinguishable from green "tuned" LEDso All three jacks are on the bottom radius, so right-angle plugs required when sittingo Audio input requires a cable; most phones now lack a headphone output. Needs bluetoothSo 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.

Arrived next day and looked great. I put some batteries in and the headphone jack worked. The effects and amplifier to an admiral job through the headphones. The tuner wouldn't turn on so I contacted tech support who told me they have to replace it. The replacement will take a week or two. I guess once they have your money there's no rush. I can see another review had QC issues with two of these so it looks like they're hit or miss. Shame because the guitar is nice to play and sounds fantastic**Update 12/7 - replacement arrived and was a completely different guitar. One of the basic models which retails for around half of what this does. Amazon won't replace an item more than once so I'm having to return for a refund. I won't be trying a third time on this

ミニサイズの本格ギターを探していたら発見！！ヘッドホン直接ギターに差して弾けます・聴けます。素人には音も充分。LINE接続もあるので、ウォークマンで音楽流して、曲に合わせて弾いて、それをギターから直接ヘッドホンで聴くことが出来ます。自分の利用目的には最高でした。

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.

I love my guitar. It looks great & plays well. The onboard effects are a bonus. The only thing which could advance this guitar would be the addition of neck pickup.

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!
