I can honestly say that this guitar plays as well or better than any other acoustic guitar I’ve played. What it lacks in volume (not very much) and fret number (only 4 above an octave…) it makes up for with a great, clear tone. It works great for fingerstyle playing, and it’s got very nice sustain.
Likewise, people ask, can you backpack with a guitar?
There’s room for a travel guitar on even the most ambitious thru-hikes or backpacking trips. Ultimately, if you’re considering bringing a guitar along on your next backpacking trip, you need to consider Durability, Weight, Affordability, and Packability.
