Solid wood makes all the difference

I have played many laminate travel guitars, but this all-solid wood version resonates much better. The bass response is tight and the highs are crisp without being brittle.

Best small guitar on the market

Whether you call it LX1RE or DJR10, this instrument punches above its weight class. It is comfortable to hold for hours and the pickup system captures the natural acoustic tone beautifully.

Perfect travel companion

I bought this for camping trips and it fits perfectly in the overhead bin. The sound is surprisingly full for such a small body, and the solid wood construction really makes a difference in tone.

Great sound, small feel

The electronics work flawlessly when plugged into my amp. It takes a little getting used to the shorter scale length if you are coming from a full-size dreadnought, but the playability is excellent.

Good value, minor setup needed

Lovely guitar with a classic Martin look. I had to adjust the truss rod slightly for my playing style, but once set up, it stays in tune very well. The included gig bag is decent too.

Amazing quality for the size

Uncle Wu recommended this model and he was right. The build quality is impeccable. No sharp fret ends and the action was low right out of the box. Highly recommend for beginners or travelers.
