    • The neck is heavier then the body makes it difficult to play.
Color: Purple Style: Shorty HCT-SH-PU
Looks great ! It sounds great! Light weight, very Mobile I can get up refill my coffee cup with it on amongst other things without taking it off. Although it is top heavy from the neck I use it leaning back on my bed or sofa to get my hands back in guitar shape, to work on my song writing and etc. I have to use a good strap but I m mentally designing a way to put a strap or very long thin shoe string on the top of the neck to balance it for easier play besides that it’s a pretty good product for what it is. I got it for myself and my 61st birthday. Making music is my fun and relaxation. ... show more

    • Great Entertainment when you're stuck in the airport!
Color: Blue Style: Shorty HCT-SH-BL
I'm a total newb that needed something to practice on is the reason I purchased this guitar. It travels well on a plane.....just make sure to ask the flight attendant to put it on top in the overhead bin or in a closet. I've managed to manipulate the tone and volume to get a nice, creamy, clean tone just the way I like. It came packaged in a double box and a case with plenty of plastic and bubble wrap. The guitar was very clean and unblemished on arrival. I guess what you call the setup was very good, because there were know buzzing frets, no sharp edges, and it stays in tune fairly well. The neck was also perfectly straight. The one thing that I found very frustrating in the beginning was figuring out how to get this guitar to balance in my lap. the neck has a gravity pull that defies Mother Earth. I purchased a strap,but that doesn't help the diving situation. Aside from that aggravation, I received a ton of pleasure for the money. P.S. Thanks for the picks and the stickers! ... show more

    • Surprisingly good! I love it
Color: Blue Style: Shorty HCT-SH-BL
I own 6 other guitars. I got this one to carry during a vacation. It was no problem at all during the flights. No one has a problem with it as carry on in the airport and it fit in the overhead compartment of the tiny plan I was in just fine. I had to file the fret ends and do some basic cleanup on the fretboard. However once setup this thing shines. The humbucker is really good. The neck is a good thickness and not too skinny. It has a full 24 frets. Only problem is the neck dive so you will need to get the strap on the headstock and not the pin behind the neck joint. All in all I love this guitar and find myself picking it up even at home quite often as it is a lot of fun to play. Go for it! ... show more

    • Pretty much what I expected
Color: Blue Style: Shorty HCT-SH-BL
I saw a fellow musician playing one of these about 10 years ago and was intrigued. He'd obviously had a lot of work done to his, but I decided a few years ago that I needed a travel guitar to take to work, as opposed to hauling a full size model back and forth. This model arrived new (static cling markers still attached to the pickup and backs of the tuning pegs. The strings that it came with felt a trifle rubbery, so I installed a heavier string, which made a serious difference. One note of importance; it's easiest to play this guitar with a strap on, so that you can wrap your right hand around the tailpiece, but the strap knob placement makes it difficult for a strap to stay on. This in itself isn't a biggie for me, since I always install a straplock system. Plugged in, it sounds trifle tinny, which is to be expected from such a small bodied guitar. All in all, I'm quite happy with this purchase, and provided that you're not looking for a "go to" guitar, you'll enjoy it for what it's worth. ... show more

    • Initial setup is unusable
Color: Blue Style: Shorty HCT-SH-BL
Out of the box, the strings buzzed, it wouldn't stay in tune, and the pickup rocked in its 'cradle.' I'm not even an amateur Luthier, I just play them, and bring them to a real Luthier when they need new setup. I don't see the sense in paying a Luthier almost as much as I spent on this guitar before I've played Song One on it. And if you think my unwillingness to set up a guitar myself means I should stop playing guitar altogether, well, you're entitled to that opinion. I'm not sure Amazon will publish this review if I express MY opinion of that opinion. ... show more

    • AWESOME
Color: Blue Style: Shorty HCT-SH-BL
I am a Sailor onboard the USS George Washington. I ordered this guitar so I could continue to play and not have to worry about it taking up too much space; it is perfect for me. I plug into my pocket amp, put my headphones on and play until my fingers hurt. I am surprised that it sounds as well as it does. It is a little tiny, but that is normal for such a small guitar. The one thing that created an issue is the fact that the neck is heavy and therefore wants to fall if it’s not supported. What do Navy Chiefs do? We fix problems! This problem is simply corrected by attaching the strap behind the nut like an acoustic guitar. Once the minor weight issue was rectified, it became pure enjoyments. Thanks Amazon for shipping to a US Navy ship at sea. ... show more

    • My own purple haze....
Color: Purple Style: Shorty HCT-SH-PU
I love this little guitar. I did however replace the pickup with an EMG 89R, Grover 406C Rotomatic Mini Self Locking Machine Heads, Graph Tech ResoMax NW2 Wraparound Bridge with String Saver Saddles and Dunlop SLS1031N Straplok® Dual Design Strap Retainer System... The guitar has plenty of body to hold onto, the new bridge allow's for resting your palm a bit. Setting the pick-up low prevents the guitar from being too bright and having to play near the neck, but too low and it's muddy. Action is fantastic. Very light and easy to bend. Super Slinky's work well but 1-3 as Nickel and 4-6 as M-Steel have a unique blend. Not sure why, but all experimental. Nickel would be best choice if I had to make one today. Finish of the guitar is fantastic. I feel I got lucky. The neck is very basic, the rosewood has imperfections and flaw's (actual hairline grain cracks) but it's smooth and plays fast. Since this is only a color, I would imagine the other colors are equal in quality. This guitar made a great base to build from. ... show more
