Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		So I got me a new toy... This thing actually sounds alright for an SSB with a dwarf body.
22.5" Scale, but the fretboard feels 'normal'.
Now I gotta figure-out how to electrify it! :D


Came with a surprisingly comfortable little stool and a gig-bag! A few more pics...

Location: GA USA		OMA, wouldn't electrifying it defeat the purpose of a travel guitar?

Do you put on your sweater and jacket at the same time?

I have a Pignose amp which is pretty small.
I play through my MicroCube all the time just using rechargeable batteries. (also small)
I have Taxi but it is Huge, I wouldn't take that camping.

Standing, it sounds okay. I don't have a SSB anymore so I cannot do a side-by-side, but it is surprisingly loud for it size. It is short scale, but the fretboard is standard size. I don't hafta crowd my fingers like some 3/4 size guitars. I will eventually change the strings once I decide which to use. This didn't come with D'Addarios, so I don't know what is on there. It does not have killer bass, y'know? It sounds like a little guitar. That is why I am trying to decide which kinda strings I am gonna put on it.
It weighs NOTHING!

Location: Chicago		I've electrified two roundbacks with the Fishman Prefilx Plus system. Sensitive, powerful, 5-band EQ, tuner, notch etc. It has my recommendation. Not too cheap though....
