Portability
Customers are extremely satisfied with the portability of the Journey Instruments Solid Sitka Travel Guitar. It is easy to pack and travel with, fitting in overhead compartments or as a carry-on item on planes. The guitar's compact size and collapsible design make it perfect for camping trips, beach vacations, or any situation where a full-sized acoustic guitar isn't practical. Some customers noted that the sound quality is not as rich as a full-sized guitar but were realistic in their expectations and appreciated the convenience of the travel guitar.
Action
Customers are generally pleased with the guitar's action, which stays in tune well for them. However, some customers mentioned that they had to adjust the truss rod or lower the action upon receiving it. Overall, the guitar's playability is still considered good despite the slightly higher action on the lower strings.
Sound
Customers are overwhelmingly positive about the sound quality of the Journey Instruments Solid Sitka Travel Guitar, praising its bright, crisp tone, natural pickup, and balance for singing while playing. Some have noted that the action could be lower but overall find it to be a great travel companion with surprising fullness for its size.

Competitiveness
He has said on multiple occasions that this guitar sounds as good as some of his pretty expensive guitars.
I have taylors, alvarez, martins, fenders, etc.
I have not changed the string on the guitar yet so i'm hoping a better set of string might bring out a better sound on this guitar.
