Feature: The stack in a box amplifier is available separately, and the guitar comes with a nice protective gig bag. Ease of Use: This guitar sounds great plugged into an amplifier. You would never guess it is a travel guitar from the sound. I use it without any amplification with just soft sound of the chords and also use it with a 'stack-in-a-box' shirt-pocket amplifier and pair of ear headphones for traveling. It always draws attention. Quality: This guitar can be used with or without the arm attached. The hardware is strong, pleasing to the touch and durable. No flimsy parts here. All solid and sturdy, yet smooth and pretty. I have seen professionals using travelers, and it is so easy to take with you. The Wow Factor: This is a different looking guitar. Everyone who sees it wants to try it themselves. I love the red color and the smooth feel of the body. Overall: This is a neat guitar that you don't get tired of using. I travel a lot and it is really easy to take it on the plane, or even play privately with the stack in a box pocket amplifier and earbuds. You do not have to attach the "arm" to use it, just makes it easier to hang onto if you are playing for a long time.

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature: This is a great compact travel guitar. Light weight and easy to play. The only negative is that it does not have an onboard pre amp. So you wither have to buy a pocket amp or plug it in directly to a real amp. Quality: Solid guitar. I end up using it a lot The Wow Factor: It has a funky shape to it but play well. Overall: Very satisfied with this guitar. I travel often and this fits my schedule perfectly

Back to Product Information
Sound: I use this guitar with a Roland MicroCube amp (weighs ~7lb; uses 6 AA batteries that last over 20 hrs of play). Fantastic sound. The guitar fits in my tennis bag and in a standard suitcase. I've taken it around the US and also on some international trips. Everybody is so impressed. To quote Shakespeare, "It's not the size, but the performance!" I highly recommend this to any traveling guitarist. Feature: Doesn't need anything else: it's the "full package". Ease of Use: Takes a while to get used to the unusual tuning mechanism, but great once you are used to it Quality: Good enough. I had a few paint chips, but these are cosmetic and don't affect performance. Manufacturer Support: "10" since I haven't needed any in over a year. The Wow Factor: Got to give credit for the unusual design, the tiny size (fits in tennis bag!) and great perfoemance. Overall: I'll use it till it "dies" and then will undoubtedly buy another. Couldn't live without one of these!

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

3. You'll get your gear fast

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

4. We make returns super easy

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
