Excellent

I bought this as a gift. The day I got it I played it for about 3 hours. I was really impressed with the build quality and the sound. It didn't need any set-up and came with two bridges for different string heights to suit your playing style. The finish is beautiful, but as expected it's a fingerprint magnet. The sound is not as big as my dreadnaught, however it still was impressive… read more for the small body size. With the wedge shaped body, it was the most comfortable guitar I've ever played. This guitar really shines when plugged in to an amp. (As, I suppose they all do) There are no electronics, no pre-amp, no tuner, but as expected it sounded like a full size amped acoustic with a very pleasant sound. The case for travel is unbelievably small and reasonably well made and thought out. However, I'm not sure how long it will last when subjected to the rigors of travel. We'll have to wait and see. Overall, I have to give the design team and Journey Instruments a lot of credit for a well thought out guitar with amazing capabilities and it all fits in an airline overhead.

Journey OF660

Add me to the blown away category -- what I wanted was a highly portable, weatherproof, and damage-resistant guitar that had decent playability and not terrible sound. What I got was a guitar that sounds really good and is incredibly comfortable and easy to play (I play only fingerstyle). Very balanced from highs to lows and great sustain, and a very pleasing tone. Doesn't have… read more the volume, character or subtlety of my much more expensive wood guitars, but is a pleasure to play in ways that my old carbon travel guitar was not. Replacing the shipped saddle with the shorter one journey provides gave me the action I like. The pickup also works fine. This thing is a bargain at this price IMHO as long as it holds up to travel and the elements.

Amazing full bodied sound and so easy to travel with

I am absolutely blown away by the full bodied sound, especially the low end from this guitar! The playability is also excellent and because of the carbon fiber aspect, it seems very durable. I have now traveled several times and it gives me complete piece of mind knowing that it will fit right above. A brilliant design great guitar!

I Love This Thing!

I love this thing! I travel quite a bit, and it's great how this guitar breaks down so well for the overhead bin. As a stand alone acoustic, it has surprisingly well balanced tone, with plenty of output. I'm also impressed with the sound of the passive internal pickups... No battery needed... Nice! Its maiden voyage was a three hour outdoor birthday party gig, complete with… read more a full weather spectrum... Warm late afternoon sunshine, to cool evening marine layer. This guitar stayed in tune all night! Brilliant design and excellent playability. Thankyou Journey instruments... And thankyou Sweetwater! Rick Founds
