No, because you need to connect it to an amplifier or a VOX AC30, which has a volume control. I bought a VoxAc30 and it works great when connected to a speaker.
It says Mahogany, but I'm not sure if that refers to the color rather than the wood.
There haven't been any strings that have broken for me.
Selected User Reviews For Traveler Guitar 6 String Classical Guitar, Right, Mahogany (ULN MHSBW)
I use it to practice while riding my bike, and while it's fairly safe, I'm sure I'm not in the best of conditions. But, for the most part, it stays in tune, which helps with fingering because you can hear if a string is dead, whereas no one else can unless they are right next to you. And you can use a little plug-in headphone amp to make yourself sound like you're playing in a concert hall, but as I said, I use it for fingering practice, not for actual playing, though I'm sure you could. It sounds pretty good through an amp, though not Taylor quality, but it's what it is. Yes, it's sturdy enough that you could use it to defend yourself if you were strumming on a park bench in the dark and a mugger approached you, and it'd still probably be playable, so it's well worth the money.
Update: For the past two years, I've been lugging this around on planes. With carryons in front, I stuffed it into the back of the overhead bins. I've never had a problem transporting or storing it. I forgot to bring it out recently and had to have it shipped to me by the airline. Carrier misplaced it, and it was lost for two weeks in the system! I'm happy to report that it still looks and feels the same as it did when I first bought it. This instrument is extremely durable! Original (2016) review: br>br> I recently purchased this guitar, and the following are my initial thoughts after playing on (with) it for a while. br>br>The basic guitar feels very solid. When you pick it up, you'll notice that it's quite heavy. So far, I'm not having any problems with the tuning - All six strings tune smoothly and maintain their tuning as well as my regular guitar. The leg rest comes in handy for getting it up to a more normal playing position. The strings and fretboard are also where you'd expect them to be, despite the fact that they don't appear to be. The neck is slightly narrower than that of a standard classical guitar, but this isn't a major flaw. After a little fiddling with the setup, I've discovered that this is a great practice tool for when I'm traveling or don't want to make too much noise in the house. The strings are plucked, but it's about as loud as an electric guitar without amplification. When it comes to sound and amplification, After some trial and error, I decided on the Electro Harmonix headphone amplifier.
I play classical guitar, but I've been wanting something electric that I could plug into my computer for digital music creation or into some amplification for live performances. I'm blown away by how good it sounds and how fun it is to play. Its ability, portability, beauty, craftsmanship, and, in general, how cool it appears. My only concern after reading reviews before ordering was that the neck would want to fall in relation to the small body, but that does not happen with a strap connected over my shoulder. It maintains a good level of equilibrium. I'm looking forward to getting an effects pedal so that I can switch from acoustic to electric sounds. I keep it on a peg in our mudroom when I'm not playing it, and it adds a touch of class. It fits perfectly in the travel bag, which also has a small pocket for any tools or other items I might need. This thing is incredible!.
I purchased the Maple ultra-luxury version. Nylon is a lightweight material that is easy to transport while traveling. I also received the necessary amplifier. Aside from its obvious advantages in terms of size and portability, the guitar has a simple but solid feel to it, and it's very smooth to the touch. The action was perfect, and the sound was clear and fairly neutral; there wasn't a lot of personality/tones/colors, but that's to be expected given the instrument's construction. This guitar, in my opinion, "suffers" from the endowment of the original steel-string guitar. acoustic design with strings - To put it another way, it wasn't designed by or for a nylon player. The nut width is narrower than a nylon player is accustomed to, and the truss rod, which is arguably unnecessary in a nylon guitar, adds to the weight imbalance caused by the body-weight imbalance. fewer ultra-conservative (The neck is heavy in comparison to the rest of the body, and it "falls" to your left hand, slowing it down. ) Last but not least, if you play with the guitar's body (for example, Flamenco players), it's difficult to do so in the ultra-fast paced world of ultra-fast paced world of ultra-fast paced world of ultra-fast paced world of ultra-fast paced world of ultra-fast Given the position of the tuners, it appears to be quite light. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase; as a nylon guitar, it could be better, but it's adequate, and the instrument tradeoffs make for a pleasant travel companion.
It fits snugly into an Osprey Trillium, and despite what Trillium reviews claim, it fits into every overhead I've seen, and I fly out of a small airport with three-seat row planes. The guitar stays in tune after I switched from nylon to steel light gauge strings, and it's very quiet without a pick. With a pick, you can definitely play with friends who have good volume control to keep it down. It's as loud as you want it to be when you plug it in. It's a little tinny, but the price and portability make it well worth it. If you travel frequently and prefer not to check a bag, stow this puppy in your Trillium and keep moving!.
