Really well researched videoâŠthe added spreadsheet is clear and concise.
Your demonstration of the guitars was consistent and well presented.
Great stuff!
Thank you Gordon!
â@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
Taylor is such a well balanced and crystal clear sound. I love Taylor.
Agree it is a very clearly defined guitar!
This was very helpful, thank you.
You're welcome!
Incredible video AND spreadsheet. Glad to find your channel!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for putting this together! This was incredibly useful đ
Glad it was helpful!
I have Taylor gs mini mahogany best of the group
insane video. crazy work was put in this one
Thank you!
Cheers Dave another great review personally own a GS mini Koa Taylor, itâs a beast, thou that Lava sounded pretty sweet, Martinâs always sound bright & punchy⊠for the overall sound, price & overall travel axe Iâll stick to the GSđ€
love your tutorials, they've helped me through so much!!
Thanks!
one of your best videos! more comparisons videos would be great!
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.
Man you have one of the best guitar channels in CZcams. 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 :)
Great video, Dave! Very happy to be a part of this huge project and in the company of so many other awesome guitars!
thank u, fun to watching this comparisons... đ
My pleasure đ
superb job as always!
Thank you! Cheers!
Yo Dave love your videos I wanted to ask if you could make a tutorial on Notion by the rare occasions.
Thank you so much for this! The martin 000jr 10 sounded the best for me.
You're welcome!
I appreciate your in depth review! Iâve been waiting for this. Furch is looking to be my next guitar. My main guitar purchase. For now. Iâm enjoying my Enya SE.
No problems!
I have the Martin 000-jr 10 and it sounds really good. Best sounding guitar among the above travel guitars!đ
Thanks for sharing!
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 donât 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!
Cool video!
Thanks!
@GuitarZero2Hero please can you do a review on the Orangewood "Dana" mini guitar its there Playa collection
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.
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.
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 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!
Youâre welcome. If possible try them in person to see how you like the feel of them. If youâre looking for something with that small scale the LX1 or Gs mini might be the best choice here for you
I'm making a prediction before finishing... Taylor GS mini!! I could be biased , though đ
What are the songs that you used to test the acoustic guitars
Hi. Did you try Enya Nexg 2?
I was honestly surprised by the martin backpackers loud and brightness. Damn.
Yeh itâs a surprising guitar! Certainly quieter than the others though
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 :)
Review the yamaha silent guitar slg200
You should do one on starman
Hey Dave! Was wondering if you could please do an tutorial on Nina by Ed Sheeran? Itâs such a good song and I enjoy your tutorialâs so much!!â€
Got the Doner HUSH-I 6 months ago. The action is so high that it's literally unplayable out of the box.
Can u do a lesson on your man by Josh turner on acoustic plz
Could you do the song line without a hook?
Hope Takamine P7NC soon !
Try a McPherson Carbon Fiber Touring is tough, good sound, and CF ignores humidity and temperatures
I'll check it out!
For anyone wondering the travelar guitars with the piezo pickup do not work with the fender mustang micro đą
How do you not have a Voyage Air travel guitar on this list???
They easily blow away everything on your list!
WTF???
PLEASEE I need a tutorial for "It's been a long time " by kitty kallen PLEASEEEEEEEEđđđ
What would you say is the best acoustic guitar?
In general? Thatâs really too difficult to answer as it depends on the context, whatâs being played and the player :)
Can you do an âout the blue by John Lennon â
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
do iâll never get out of this world alive by hank williams
30:57 what was that
Audio glitch from my audio interface, you can ignore that. Itâs not because of the guitar
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 Iâm pressing against metal pipes. Highly do NOT recommend Donner. I fell for the ads. Donât 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 đ€·đ»
@@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. Iâm totally with you on that first one. My friend had one and I was like NOPE and didnât get it.
From all over the world, yet you donât have awesome Laika guitars
đ€đœđžđ„đ«Ąđ€đœ
First Meow
imo some of them look like a toy
Theyâre not meant to be replacements for the full size experience :)
CZcams 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. Iâm not encouraging people to buy a travel guitar if they donât 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 didnât 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. Iâve been looking for something else to do besides Netflix. My normal guitar is to big to take with me during work.
Nice video,man
