This is a great adult travel guitar and a nice beginning model for a kid or someone with small hands. Considering its price, it's much better than it should be. It's fun to play and it's been in my hands daily since I bought it three weeks ago. It also comes with a first-rate padded gig bag. I've been looking for something to take on trips and also to just play while sitting in a chair watching TV--my Yamaha acoustic is too bulky to play while relaxing. For the past few months I've tried travel guitars made by Taylor, Martin, Laguna, and Fender. All are nice guitars and if you're looking for one that's really cheap, the Fender Squire MA-1 is not bad.
However, compared to all of them, I found the Wechter to be superior overall in playability--the most important quality for me--sound, and craftsmanship. It's a quality instrument and it stays in tune--I frequently tune down a half-step and sometimes a whole step and I also use open tunings. The neck is small and fairly thin and reminds me of the neck on my Ibanez Af 75 hollowbody electric--this might be a problem if you have big hands. But the neck works great for me because it plays like an electric guitar--the factory-set action is spot on--and it's not so small that a regular sized Acoustic seems strange or difficult when I switch between the two. I took a chance buying this because I had never nor played a Wechter. I was convinced to give it a shot after reading only one review and talking to someone at Wechter. I would have returned it had I not liked it. But, it's a keeper. And what fast delivery from Amazon.
