I bought one of these because Im going overseas for a few months and it drives me crazy when I forget something that took me weeks to learn - so I need to practice almost daily. On the Pro side - seems well made and sturdy without being too heavy. Customer service was great (it did take longer than the 31 days to get to Australia though). PLaying it as an acoustic is passable for notes towards the neck and away from the High E, as an electic it depends on what you are playing; White Stripes (eg Offend in Every Way) though a Spark Go sounds good - because there are no HIgh E notes and the notes there are are down at the neck. Cons - The action is too high but the groove the bridge sits in is so high that you cannot lower the bridge much at all before the strings rest or bang off that lip- a pretty basic design flaw. High E is barely audible on an amp and what there is sounds awful. I haven't done it yet so I could be wrong but replacing a string looks very complicated. Using it as an electic towards the bridge sounds awful - especially the High E. So it kinda suits my needs which is a guitar small enough for hand luggage but its not even in the same ballpark as my Traveller EG-1 - which is fantastic - its just a little too big for carry on and the type of travelling I will be doing. In summary I'd say, unless you cant find any other option and are desparate - its not worth the money.
Be great to hear what it sounds like unplugged. Because if youre going to carry an amp around to plug it into, whats the point of a small travel guitar?
The fact that there are absolutely no videos of it unplugged tells me it'll sound terrible. I really want to see it, because I'm not spending £200 for a "real" portable guitar that isn't actually portable.
I am very interested in getting a minicorda however there are almost no videos of it played by other people, and i have seen zero videos showing its acoustic sound. I plan to take it on holidays, so do not need it to be super loud, but would like something more than just an electric guitar. Could you please do a video with the minicorda unplugged so I can get an idea of what the sound will be?

I imagine it sounds like poop but for someone that travels a lot a spends a lot of time in hotels I get a mini amp and decent headphones
Nice bro gotta get me one of those

This was my concern too. @Minicorda - I'll make a review of it if you want me to.
You need to play something other than this goofy tune to sell this.
I came to hear a nice little guitar but heard a Jack-in-the-box.
