Sorry, I couldn't resist.
But seriously, WHY the pickguard? Protecting the wall? |

You can even plug it in to an amp, and it sounds great. This all started when I saw a local guy gigging with one. He had nothing but good things to say about it and the online vids and reviews are impressive. |

Location: SoCal | The nylon version hangs behind my chair in the family room. If I am using WorkshopLive on my laptop, I run the sound into the SLG100N's aux in. The SLG100 provides my headphone out. |

Location: Sydney, Australia | +1 on the Traveler. I bought mine on recommendations from this list (possibly Miles') and I love it. No packing up or unpacking to do, just pull it out of the bag and play.
I don't have a solid body electric, so it doubles as a don't-want-to-disturb-the-neighbours guitar for late evening strumming. |

It's a good thing it was from the Trader; otherwise, I'd have expected an advertisement for some kind of alcoholic refreshment. ;) :D

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Aria has been making guitars like this for years. They are called the Sinsonido Series. I had one of their basses on consignment here in the shop. It was pretty nice, lightweight, and had a very warm mellow sound. I never tried one of their guitars, but they look pretty cool. |

These are cool. Earphones or amp. Not a bad sound for the buck.
What do you use to keep the top looking so nice. :D |

| Toby - just looked at those solo-ettes on their website. Interesting - which one do you have and how does it play and what does it sound like plugged in? Not many small manufacturers make their own pups. |
