- I've been sent an interesting little travel #guitar made by #BlackStar. Here's my quick little 1st impressions #review. Is it a proper musical instrument, or a novelty?

Best thing about going on holiday is taking a break from everything. If you really need to play guitar, you can always visit the local music shop or the local open mic for a session near your hotel.
Most of these travel guitars have quirky non conventional layouts, this Carry On ST seems nicely eye (and ear) pleasing. But playing a 20.7" scale would be an exercise in frustration for me. While competitors can have full 24.75 and 25.5 scales. Glad to see another Zoey's donation!
You could always put some threaded inserts in the neck of a normal bolt on guitar and then unbolt the neck to make it half the size when you're travelling.
I often ship bolt on guitars with the neck detached. Seems like an obvious solution for travelling the more I think about it 👍
John, I think you should have played that guitar standing up, it would have looked like a ukulele. 😇
You will tackle anything and regardless it-sounds fine. You would just take the neck off a standard guitar, four screws and some gaffer tape, and reassemble on arrival.🙃
The Hofner Shorty has a proper 24.75" scale, and yet an overall length of just 32.5". Fits in a suitcase
I have one of those, and use it for holidays. It doesn't stay in tune too well now, so tempted to use a full size budget guitar instead.
Yeh I thought it was 💩as well, but maybe useful as Baywatch floatation device on holiday, can picture you running on the sand towards Pam with it. 🤣 Hopefully will sell a few raffle tickets though 💲
I felt like a kid riding his baby sister's bike playing that guitar 🤣👍
There havebeen a few different Backstar models of guitar in Montreal's FB pages. 335 semi-hollows, strats and teles all going for about $300 CAD, so I wonder about the quality level and overall QC.
Yeah, nah. Full size neck, tiny body works much better for me....
Do you need a travel guitar to go to Morrisons John ? 😅
That IS about as far as I venture 🤣👍🍺
Carry On Strumming - don’t remember seeing that one 🙄
Funny little thing. Don't quite get it. But variety is the spice of life and all that.
