    Haha the explosion when you put it down. I just ordered one online and can’t wait to play it.

    I received one of these as my first guitar as a gift last year and I haven't looked back. Of course, I consider purchasing a full-size acoustic at some point, but for now this is suiting me well as I practise at home and develop the muscles in my hand that will allow me to play on a larger guitar.

    • @GuitarLover

      It's a great guitar to learn how to play with. Very gentle on the fingers :)
      You will find that bigger guitars with longer scale length will be harder to play (even with the lightest strings), but don't give up - you can tune it in D - which will make the strings less tense and will be easier for you.
      Good luck!

    I was really stuck between buying this or the Fender Parlour guitar. I really liked the headstock on this. That won me over. Nice review.

    • @GuitarLover
      @GuitarLover  5 років тому +1

      You know what? - so did I! :))
      And now that I've played both I can tell, that the parlour has a richer and better tone in general, but the sonoran plays like an electric guitar (almost) - and that's great.
      (This was the channels first video!!!)

    It's the action low? I am an electric guitar player and I'm looking for an easy to play travel acoustic. I've read that you have the parlor also. Which has the lower action? Could you do a comparison between them? (In terms of size , playability and sound) It"s hard to decide, please help !
    P.d: I know that it's hard to find on stores but I found a place that only has two left. So I would appreciate your answer!

    • @GuitarLover

      Hi! Playability wise, you will feel comfortable on the mini. It's great and feels a lot like an electric guitar (use 10's) but the Fender parlour sounds better... you can't have the best of both worlds on one of it. Sonoran plays better, Parlour sounds better. You have to choose :)
      But answering your question, I can get quite low action on the sonoran.

    Hey guys, looking for some help, one of the tuning pegs / machine heads popped off due to a couple of loose screws and immediately went down a drain. I'm looking to replace it but have no idea what type of part I should be looking for. Could anyone point me to a suitable replacement or the info I need? Thanks in advance

    • @GuitarLover
      @GuitarLover  4 роки тому

      No idea. Mine work fine. I guess gotoh must have something with a reasonable quality an affordable.

    @YanksandBritsProductions 3 роки тому

    What is the action like on it when it’s New??
    Also do you tune it exactly the same way as a regular guitar, E A D G B E .....??

    • @GuitarLover
      @GuitarLover  3 роки тому

      Can't remember exactly. It was in 2016... but was pleasingly playable. I didn't adjust it back then. So I would reckon about 1,5 - 2 mm on the 12fret.
      I already used in open G and open D, but it's now in standard tuning

      @GuitarLover  6 років тому +1

      Si Pi didn't meant to sell it :)
      But I still love it and it is still hanging on the sofa all the time.
      It weights 1,6kgs. (3,5lbs). It's light.
      I hope you enjoy it! Let me know your thoughts once I get it ;)

    hi, i´ve really small hands, is it with this guitar easier to play like a normal size guitar? is it different to play with this fretboard? greeeeez from austria

    • @GuitarLover
      @GuitarLover  7 років тому +1

      Manuel Harlander The straight answer is - Yes, it will be easier.
      Although you should be able to find 4/4 guitars that can also feel confortable to you. My son is 10 (so he doesn't have big hands) and he plays many of my 4/4 guitars (he's favourite is a PRS se)
