Update: I have lugged this around on planes for 2 years now. Stuffed it in the back of the overhead bins, with carryons in front. Never had an issue with bringing it along or stowing it. Recently forgot to take it out and had to have the airline ship it to me. Carrier lost it and it bounced around in the system for 2 weeks! Happy to report that it still looks and feels like on the day I bought it. This is a very sturdy instrument!Original review (2016): I bought this recently, and here are my first impressions after playing on (with) it for a while.The basic guitar feels very solid. It is surprisingly heavy when you pick it up. So far, I have no issues with the tuning - all 6 strings tune smoothly and stay tuned as nicely as my regular guitar. The leg rest is very useful to get it up to a more typical playing position. And although it doesn't appear so, the strings and fretboard are where you would normally expect them. The neck is a tiny bit narrower than a normal classical guitar, but it is not a big issue. After fiddling around with the setup a bit, I now find this to be a very useful practice tool for when I am traveling or don't want to make a lot of noise in the house. While you can hear the strings being plucked, it is about as loud as an electric guitar without amplification.Speaking of amplification and sound: after experimenting for a bit, I settled on the headphone amplifier made by Electro Harmonix
