- Cool tiny guitar!
I bought this guitar to practice fingering for jazz/folk/fingerstyle guitar at times and in locations when my other acoustic guitars weren't available or weren't practical to use. I considered this and the Martin Backpacker (the Baby Taylor was out of my price range), and settled on this one, and am happy with my choice.

The tiny body size offers little resonance, but the fretboard is virtually full sized, at least up through 12 frets. Given why I bought it, this was fine for what I ... Read More

- it's a stinker!!
I play a Godin guitar, and needed a light travel number to use when I'm away. The Washburn Rover seemed the best option, great case, extra stuff and a good build quality. When it arrived i got a shock, the stench from this nightmare hung in my flat days after I took it back. The smell is obnoxious and clings to your hands and clothes, giving them an acrid honk that ruined my enjoyment of this product. The laquers used are obviously not fully cured before it gets packed and this just isn't acceptable ... Read More

- Balance has been mentioned by other reviewers. If you rest this guitar on your ... Read More

- Great Instrument!
I am amazed by the beauty and the sound of this little beast. The neck itself is a true " piece d'art".

- Cool neck but smelly body
The neck on this guitar is extremely playable. I love its feel and good action more than my Guild or Martin dreadnaught-sized acoustic guitars.

The sound is tinny and small, but that is to be expected from anything with such a tiny body. It fits the bill for something totally portable.

As other reviewers have said, it doesn't sit on your leg easily. That's because the neck is heavier than the body - not because it is a heavy neck (it isn't) but because the body is so light and ... Read More
