I'm going to hang with this for a while, but I am pleased enough that I expect I will buy a top of the line model down the road. I hate traveling with my good instruments on airplanes. The portability and protection of the backpack eases my mind and still allows me to take a really nice guitar with me while traveling.
Sound
The sound and feel are very nice for a laminate guitar, better than I expected.
Features
I love the backpack, the lightness and the portability. I gave this an 8 because one of the first few times I opened the guitar, I did not notice that the strings tend to slacken above the nut by the headstock. I unfolded the guitar and snapped the G string while on a trip. I see in the electric models they have a velcro strap to hold the strings, it would be helpful to do for the acoustic models as well. I had to gate check the bag (which I had not planned) but it did not fit into the overhead of a very small commuter flight. The guitar came out both times unscathed.
Ease of Use
It delivers what it promises.
Quality
Very nice for the price range, it is a well made guitar.
Value
I've been looking at and comparing travel guitars for a while, Voyage Air seems to be the best I've found. Nice quality and attention to detail.
The Wow Factor
It's just cool, and will let you take your music anywhere!
