Hofner 6 String Solid-Body Electric Guitar, Right Handed, Black (HCTSHBKO)

This thing is perfect for my needs. I do live shows from my desktop, there's not a lot of room to maneuver, and I have to still be able to reach the keyboard and mouse and various outboard devices. This guitar doesn't get in the way much. It's small and light, yet plays like a full size guitar. Tone is great, a bit bright, but nice and clean, and the neck is excellent. I did have to adjust the neck and bridge to get the action right, but it worked out very nicely. The guitar plays easily, and stays in tune. It's heavy at the neck end, of course, since there's almost no body to it. I attached my neck strap to the end of the neck with a leather lace, rather than to the little stud near the base of the neck. That helps a lot with the guitar staying in position (otherwise it wants to tip down at the neck).Overall, a great guitar!

Bought this for my husband who had a lung transplant and could not lift anything heavier than a milk carton. He has played all of his life and the idea of not being able to lift his guitar was difficult to hear.He loved this and the main reason was that the neck was a full size (length) as a regular guitar. It was heavy enough to play, he tried a different brand and it was so light that it just slid around.Definitely a great present and the medical staff loved it when he played it.

I like this travel electric guitar. Some people have complained about the sound on this guitar and all I have to say is that this is not a $3000 Gibson. Relax!, sound good enough for what it is... and it is very easy to take with you. I've had mine with me in a travel trailer, on s sail boat, travels well as a carry-on and it is inexpensive enough that if it were to get stolen or broken wont be the end of the world for me. Mine came with a nice padded gig bag that has a compartment for the guitar and a second smaller compartment for accessories. The smaller compartment is large enough to store a "honeytone" amp, a cable, a guitar tuner, a spare set of strings and a capo with some space left. The entire bag will fit easily under the airplane seat, or above in the overhead compartment. Last time I flew I put it on top of a cary-on bag that was already in the overhead compartment... it's that small. I like this travel guitar, it's good enough, not the best but good enough. My only complaint is that it can take a bit of time to get used to the smaller size.

This guitar looks serviceable as a portable guitar for travel or the office. However it is so neck-heavy that it requires constant support by the fretting hand, even when using a strap with a Martin guitar leather strap button. I would advise buyers to be aware of this fact and either try the guitar locally or to buy with a strap and strap button and be ready to return it. I find it completely unusable as a practice instrument. One of my few mistaken purchases through Amazon. Look elsewhere.

Thought I’d edit this review due to a lot misunderstanding.Not much should be expected for a price tag such as this. “Your mileage may vary” but here is my PERSONAL review. Once again, (at this price tag), a poor consistency of quality should be expected.Pros: small, lightweight, portable, easy practice machine, inexpensive and easy to mod.Cons: The frets extended beyond the fretboard, and therefore scratched my hand. I recommend a fret file to counter this. If your idea of practice is without an amp, you’re okay. If not, expect noise. It’s not a balanced guitar, as it it’s head/neck is heavier than the body. I fully recommend a strap to counter this.

Love this guitar, plays great and was a huge benefit for my time overseas on deployment. It came to me already setup very well too. Been using a bluetooth speaker and the vox amplug ac30 and vox classic rock amplug amps on it with just a aux cable and is more than I could ask for on the road. I love that when you turn back the tone knob about half way you can get some really crisp and thick tones out of it. Amazing for the price.. I did notice that if you have it in a drop tuning that it doesn't hold tune as well as it does in standard E tuning. Not really a big deal to me. Only other possibly negative thing I could think of is that it's really awkward to play sitting down.. or without a strap. Buy a strap for it. Otherwise it's awesome!!! :D

When I was choosing a trevel guitar, I was very excited about the concept, appearance and price. However, I received the thing that correcponds to the price. So, don't beleive in 150$ best guitar. You'll get what you pay for and no more.

Full length scale fingerboard advantages, minimalist body enough for essentials, but with an artistically shaped (curvy) body which is pleasant to behold, both for audience and player. I tie the guitar strap with an acoustic-style nylon cord at an angle between tuners, for best balance.
