Okay but a bit rough around the edges for a £300 Asian made guitar. You Tube reviews don't seem to mention this so maybe these are sponsored. Not sure why Gordon Smith, who make excellent guitars, would want their name on the back of the headstock as it might devalue the brand to those that don't know better.

Great sounding guitar and well made. Lowered the action when it arrived. Plays well with big sound. Recommended.

I have been looking for a Good Quality short scale guitar.Intonation has always been an issue when the scale is shortened but this Little Gem seems to have solved the problem. The heavier gauge strings compensate well for the shorter scale. The guitar stays in tune and the split pick-up is just a nice extra feature. Very Playable and Great Tone, and for now at least, my New Favorite. Another reviewer complained about the "Number of Frets"... Really? The same number on most Dreadnought guitars. 18-19 frets for a Very Portable Very Playable guitar is just fine.Must have missed the part about the Short Scale The construction Quality and Resonance are Excellent due to it's One-Piece construction.Very comfortable radius on the fretboard and came with the action at a ... MoreI have been looking for a Good Quality short scale guitar.Intonation has always been an issue when the scale is shortened but this Little Gem seems to have solved the problem.

I have thoroughly enjoyed playing this little guitar. The mini humbucker sounds pretty good. Definitely want to use heavier gauge strings so it won't bend too easily given the short scale. There are18 frets, but for a little travel guitar, it works great. Got it on a stupid deal of the day.
I noticed this guitar only has 18 frets! That is not near enough for a good small-sized electric guitar to have! I was hoping that at the posted price, this guitar would have more like 21 frets, but it only has 18! What a waste of material!
This is an absolutely great guitar!! It's small size is deceptive but it sounds like a full size guitar 100%. I have the black one and it is super easy and convenient to take around and get some practice in when a full size guitar is not practical. The way the designer scaled everything down, it doesn't feel weird going between a full size and this one. I took mine on vacation and have used it as an extra layer when tracking guitars during recording. Also, it is great for little people, young players, or players with smaller hands. Highly recommend!!
Love this travel guitar... good for practising while sitting next to wife eatching tv as well... Paired it up with a Fender Mustang headphone amp... fantastic...
