Awesome little guitar
"I have had my ultra-light nylon for three years and it has gone to Mexico City, the French Alps, the Caribbean, Northern Spain and all over the US. It fits in the overhead compartment of small planes and can easily be put in a daypack for biking and hiking. I love having a guitar with me at all times. Recently the high string frets 6-9 went dead and buzzy. Traveler Guitar was very responsive by email and a few twists of the included truss rod solved the problem. While it is clearly a stopgap for a full sized guitar, I also use it when writing out music as it can dangle by its strap leaving both arms free for writing. I wish the preamp had a Bluetooth function so I could get rid of my pesky earbud cord."
"Very cool little guitar. High quality!"
Plays easy
"People mentioned them being hard to tune. . . . Well just take your time and they tune right up AND stay in tune really well."
A slightly modified ultra lite
"I have had the Traveler Ultra Lit maple for a few months now and it has gone on my trips in that time. I needed a classical travel guitar to simply practice with. I use the plug-in amp with headphones. I chose Traveler as I wanted a low-cost classical guitar to practice with (not perform) while I am camping or visiting family. It needed to hold up to temp and humidity extremes. This works perfectly for that. The issue I had is that it made practice awkward without arm rest. It works without one but it is uncomfortable. So, I purchased a second arm rest from traveler ($25) and drilled two holes on the opposite site and viola! I now have an arm rest. Be careful to not drill too deep or you will run into the plug in for the amp. This works great for me now and makes practicing a whole lot less awkward. Overall, I really like this little guitar for travel practice."
Great for taking on travel, but that comes with some limitations
"I bought the ultra-light nylon so that I can continue to practice even when I'm traveling. It fulfills that role extremely well, but there are a couple of limitations inherent in its compact nature: It's difficult to tune because it's difficult to turn the tuning pegs without the strings getting in the way, the change in frequency while tuning can suddenly jump (probably from friction between the strings and the tailpiece), and there is no good place to locate a tuner. It's also so quiet that you really want to use it with an amp. Overall, I'm really pleased with it, but I want others to know that it can be a little frustrating."
My number 2
"Just as awesome as the first!"
Great more, but more details in owner’s manual
"Great for practicing anywhere. Would appreciate more details on setting up and playing."
Pretty good
"Guitar sounds decent, however it has a buzzing open G string. Have contacted company twice by phone and no answer. Sent e-mail and awaiting reply."
Ideal Guitar for staying in practice while traveling
