TARIO Silent Travel Guitar - Portable Classical Guitar with Nylon Strings, Solid Spruce Top & Okoume Body - Perfect for Practice, Travel & Quiet Performances

For $200, this is a nice instrument; however I am sending it back, because it isn’t designed well enough. The good is that the neck is a beautiful wide, thin U profile with a flat radius like most classical guitars. The tuners are solid and the body is finished very nicely. And it comes with a very nice gig bag. The bad, it’s a telecaster style body, which balances really badly (neck dive and pushes the nut further away from the fretting hand), unless you move the bridge side strap button closer to the neck one on the back of the body. Not terribly difficult, but you do have to drill a hole. The other thing is the volume knob is right in the way of the picking/plucking hand. If you strum hard or try to mute at the bridge, you bang your fingers on the knob. It’s unnecessary. Just moving that back to being below and in line with the bridge (about 1”) would have fixed that. As it is, I don’t want to have to drill more and plug holes, etc in a new guitar. If the manufacturer is reading this, here’s my advice. Keep everything the same, but use an S style body and keep the volume and tone knobs away from the string path. Maybe even use a 3-band EQ with sliders and mount that instead of knobs.
