Washburn Travel Series RO5 Travel Guitar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got it and was very disappointed.There is only one word to describe this and that is undersized.It is smaller than the other strumstick type instruments.It sounds fine, much less tinny - if you put your ear six inches away.Forget playing with other instruments as it will be drowned out.Its neck is much too thin on the finger board.If you are an adult, you can only play the first string, as the others are far closer than a guitar or ukulele. So forget learning to play chords, or the middle or third string, as even my little finger can't touch one string without touching at least one other.You are also supposed to attach the bridge your self, though they do give the clue that it must be at 194 mm from the last fret.On the plus side, it came with a nylon travel case and an, uh, knitting yarn sort of strap. For a child it would be a good instrument, and as a child's instrument, seems well enough made.But this is not good for adults.

Washburn Travel Series RO10TR Travel Guitar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this guitar to keep my fingers in shape while travelling on business.For that purpose it is very effective.I find myself playing for hours in my hotel room and have even written some song outlines with this guitar.

The Good: It's light and compact.The neck has a nice feel and is easy to play (with the strap).The tone is "okay" for a travel guitar, (it's thin but what do you expect out of a guitar this size).The guitar overall seems sturdy.

The Bad:It's a little bit long to fit right in the overhead bins on an airplane.It will fit length-wise but then roller bags no long fit properly.This is a minor gripe as the crew on all my flights have helped me find available space for it either on top of other bags or behind the last row of seats.The intonation isn't great and overall it goes out of tune quite quickly while playing.Higher quality tuners would have been nice.

Summary:Great travel guitar for the money.It's better than those neck only kits to practice on as it actually plays notes, but is definitely not a guitar "replacement".It's fine for a few nights away from home to keep the fingers in shape.
