Andrew, this is a great review. Very thorough with pluses and minuses highlighted. I have had my eye on this very same guitar. Will be curious to hear your thoughts after having used it during your summer trip and teaching students all over the world.
Glad it was helpful! There are so many fun and useful things about this guitar I will absolutely be doing a much more thorough review - I am curious to hear it plugged into an amp. I think this guitar is a “sleeper”.
@@John666Galilee It is a regular size, 38" guitar, but made thin and light for travel with a sleek body contour. The scale length is 24 and 3/4 (24.75) inches
Re the distortion, and I found this on a forum, take out the speaker unit (super ez) and add thin foam along the sides and to the bottom of that unit to cushion it against the body and … voila. Now, the feedback issues are something I have not yet dialed in. Lowering pickups, minimizing delay and reverb, messing with the EQ. Not quite there yet:)
This is only my opinion, but, it plays wonderful, feels so good in the hand, easy to play, and sounds great. It's not a cheap sound for ME, but that's only me. Remember, this is a special guitar used to make a sound in the room without needing an amp. The speaker in the body is 10 watts and is VERY small so you must understand it will never sound like a regular size guitar amp. Yes, this guitar plugs into a traditional guitar amp as well, and sounds excellent through it.

What is the scale length?

09:41 I would try lowering the neck pickup height to see if that helps with the distorted sound you were getting. Awesome video!
@@scharrsilicio thank you for the tip! Will do! Didn’t think of that.
