Really well researched video…the added spreadsheet is clear and concise.
Your demonstration of the guitars was consistent and well presented.
Great stuff!
Thank you Gordon!
@GuitarZero2Hero could you please if you think it's okay with you a make you mine by public tutorial or fly love by Jamie Fox?
@@user-st3lm3it5t preach on make you mine
Great video, Dave! Very happy to be a part of this huge project and in the company of so many other awesome guitars!
Incredible video AND spreadsheet. Glad to find your channel!
Thank you!
Man you have one of the best guitar channels in RUclips. I appreciate the effort you put in making great content. Best of luck growing the channel, cheers from Miami, Florida- USA
Thank you so much :)
Taylor is such a well balanced and crystal clear sound. I love Taylor.
Agree it is a very clearly defined guitar!
Thank you so much for putting this together! This was incredibly useful 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
one of your best videos! more comparisons videos would be great!
Thank you :)
insane video. crazy work was put in this one
Thank you!
Thank you for showcasing these guitars, Dave. I'm buying one soon, and this helps me.
Love watching your tutorials and playthrough!
I'd appreciate it if you upload a lesson to play There is a Light That Never Goes Out by The Smiths.
love your tutorials, they've helped me through so much!!
Thanks!
This was very helpful, thank you.
You're welcome!
thank u, fun to watching this comparisons... 😊
My pleasure 😊
superb job as always!
Thank you! Cheers!
I appreciate your in depth review! I’ve been waiting for this. Furch is looking to be my next guitar. My main guitar purchase. For now. I’m enjoying my Enya SE.
No problems!
A++ review, thank you!
My pleasure!
Thank you so much for this! The martin 000jr 10 sounded the best for me.
You're welcome!
Cheers Dave another great review personally own a GS mini Koa Taylor, it’s a beast, thou that Lava sounded pretty sweet, Martin’s always sound bright & punchy… for the overall sound, price & overall travel axe I’ll stick to the GS🤘
Cool video!
Thanks!
Yo Dave love your videos I wanted to ask if you could make a tutorial on Notion by the rare occasions.
I love my Furch Little Jane in cedar and mahogany. Sounds like a big guitar, lots of projection and very rich tone - all fits in a backpack!
Yup agreed - it's a stellar guitar!
Did not expect that great sound from the Furch! I wish I could try one; I don’t have any nearby music stores that carry them.
Yeh it's quite surprising when you play it. Hopefully you can come across one at some point. Thanks for commenting!
great job
I have the Martin 000-jr 10 and it sounds really good. Best sounding guitar among the above travel guitars!😊
Thanks for sharing!
I'm making a prediction before finishing... Taylor GS mini!! I could be biased , though 😉
I'd like to get your opinion on the 'lapstick'. It looks like an interesting option that has some features that none of the others do mainly designed to be small enough to play WHILE traveling.
I own a Taylor GS Mini, a Guild Jumbo Junior, a Yamaha J1, a Harley Benton Travel GS. I owned many iterations of Traveler Guitars (the Mark III acoustic and the electric made in cooperation with ESP LTD), but I sold all of them. Tuning stability was always an issue and the sound was not on par with other guitars. Recently I added to my collection the Enya Nova Go Sp1 and the Enya Nova Go Sonic. Very affordable and the built effects are great.
Thanks for sharing! Will have to check them out sometime!
Voyage Air guitar!!!
Blows away everything on your list.
These are the most commonly available I could find. Very hard to find Voyage Air guitars where I live. I'll have to try one someday though, thanks for the suggestion.
You should try Strobel Guitar. For me the best travel electric Guitar
I wonder if the electric TravelerGuitar® ultra-light will make a sound similar to the acoustic version as an unplugged silent guitar. Thank you!
I was looking for a good quality 3/4 acoustic(small hands, literally cant even hold down an F chord on a full size) but they were all toy quality so I couldnt find any. But these seem great!
You’re welcome. If possible try them in person to see how you like the feel of them. If you’re looking for something with that small scale the LX1 or Gs mini might be the best choice here for you
@GuitarZero2Hero please can you do a review on the Orangewood "Dana" mini guitar its there Playa collection
I was honestly surprised by the martin backpackers loud and brightness. Damn.
Yeh it’s a surprising guitar! Certainly quieter than the others though
Got the Doner HUSH-I 6 months ago. The action is so high that it's literally unplayable out of the box.
I'm not gonna lie you had me on the edge of my seat waiting to hear how the Journey guitar was going to sound, every video cut you had while describing it I was like O!! He's gonna play it. O!!... damn.. O! O! nope. :D
There's a sound demo midway through the video where you can hear them all played :)
For anyone wondering the travelar guitars with the piezo pickup do not work with the fender mustang micro 😢
What are the songs that you used to test the acoustic guitars
Hey Dave! Was wondering if you could please do an tutorial on Nina by Ed Sheeran? It’s such a good song and I enjoy your tutorial’s so much!!❤
Hey, I am looking for a new travel guitar- what are your thoughts on the Baby Taylor?
It’s similar to the Martin LX1 in this video but with a bolt on neck
Hope Takamine P7NC soon !
You should do one on starman
I love my GS mini e Koa plus. Had to save for a bit but worth every penny. Any suggestions on a good travel acoustic amp?
The Positive grid spark go works for acoustic as well! Would probably suggest the Spark Mini though if you're ok with something a little bigger as it's a lot louder! They all work with acoustic :)
The spark mini and GS is what I travel with. Great combo.
Hi. Did you try Enya Nexg 2?
PLEASEE I need a tutorial for "It's been a long time " by kitty kallen PLEASEEEEEEEE😭😭😭
Try a McPherson Carbon Fiber Touring is tough, good sound, and CF ignores humidity and temperatures
I'll check it out!
Could you do the song line without a hook?
Can u do a lesson on your man by Josh turner on acoustic plz
Review the yamaha silent guitar slg200
How do you not have a Voyage Air travel guitar on this list???
They easily blow away everything on your list!
WTF???
What would you say is the best acoustic guitar?
In general? That’s really too difficult to answer as it depends on the context, what’s being played and the player :)
For a travel guitar I would also add ruggedness and atmospheric stability to your triangle... i've played the martin backpacker and it sounds like junk
Can you do an “out the blue by John Lennon “
guitar tutorial
Please
Why no Steinberger?
I did think about including that however - it was quite difficult to find anywhere near me that sold it. So I tried to focus on those that are fairly widely available and most common. Would love to test one someday!
please do cover me up by morgan wallen
30:57 what was that
Audio glitch from my audio interface, you can ignore that. It’s not because of the guitar
do i’ll never get out of this world alive by hank williams
Donner Hush-I survivor here: that guitar was so awful. It was the first time I ever had to return a guitar, the action was so high, even when put down, I still could not do a simple F Chord without feeling like I’m pressing against metal pipes. Highly do NOT recommend Donner. I fell for the ads. Don’t fall for it.
Do you think the Donner Hush-X is equally bad probably?
@@danielledorchester9739 since I never got it or tried it before, I can't give an answer, I wouldn't trust the brand in general, I would rather pay extra for better quality than settle 🤷🏻
@@danielledorchester9739Just got my Hush X two weeks ago. For what it is, I love it! Probably my only complaint is no on/off switch. You have to put a battery in every time you go to use it. Sounds great coming through my amps. My buddy has the first Hush and I did not care for it so very glad to have held out for the X.
@@DayOneAdeleFans I'm glad the Hush X is good!
@@OkinawanPride13 Yeah, for what it is it is def decent. I’m totally with you on that first one. My friend had one and I was like NOPE and didn’t get it.
No Yamaha? Too bad.
First Meow
From all over the world, yet you don’t have awesome Laika guitars
🤟🏽🎸🥇🫡🤝🏽
Nice presentation, however, adding "where" it is made, "Fair Labor" treatment & "sustainably" sourced materials would be "My" reason for purchasing a Travel guitar regardless of "who" sponsors them...
imo some of them look like a toy
They’re not meant to be replacements for the full size experience :)
RUclips is more like Knock & Cruby where a person is just trying to sell you something.
EDITED:
travel guitars are not my thing. You should purchase anything you review though, not all of these were purchased(some were on loan or given from the manufacturer/shops)..otherwise it's a biased opinion, even if minimal bias. I generally trust your opinion, but I trust transparency and my own thinking more. Your tutorials are good.
I am also never going to use a travel guitar, but It is really interesting to see these comparisons...
Not sponsored, no one paid me to create this. I’m not encouraging people to buy a travel guitar if they don’t need it. I use full size myself all the time at home. I just wanted to help those who were searching for a travel guitar on the go but didn’t know where to start :)
@@GuitarZero2Herogreat comparison video.
Some people travel a lot because of the line of work they are in. This review is very welcome for people in the airline industry like me who spend a lot of time in hotel rooms. I’ve been looking for something else to do besides Netflix. My normal guitar is to big to take with me during work.
Nice video,man
I have Taylor gs mini mahogany best of the group
Me too!
I owned 2 of those a few years ago. Had to send both of them back. Bad work on neck joint. Would not stay in tune. Hope they fixed that problem. Not sure I would risk owning another Taylor again.
