I wanted a slightly smaller but fully playable guitar suitable for using when I'm on holiday/vacation, staying in hotel rooms, or just travelling about in general.
I looked at and had decided on a Taylor GS Mini which is undeniably a nice little guitar but which costs around £500 Stirling.
I then stumbled across a few great reviews of a clone of the Taylor made by Harley Benton in Germany, which came complete with a stylish soft case - again similar to the original Taylor item. I decided to give it a go and ordered one knowing HB are great if you want to return something.
What a GREAT and well made little guitar. The only thing I can find is a slight sharpness on the edge of some of the fret wires - a problem easily remedied. She otherwise plays great straight out of the box.
Should you be in the market for such an instrument, it might be worth checking one of these out first. I feel you'd be more than happy with it and could save yourself meg-bucks!
It's a Harley Benton GS-Travel-E Mahogany at under £100 Stirling.
(And no...I am NOT affiliated with Harley Benton in any way! lol)
