Is the neck on this guitar smaller than standard size because I have small fingers. Also, how heavy is this guitar? Does this guitar sound okay for being a travel size? I can't decide between this one or a Martin Backpacker. Thanks it helps alot!

The neck in my opinion is about the same as a standard guitar, maybe slightly smaller I have small hands also. It is very light so you need to use the strap to keep it balanced. I find the sound to be like a mandolin/guitar very nice but dont expect the sound of a dreadnought. I didnt like the Martin because it does not have a Truss rod to adjust the neck,so if got warped you are out of luck, plus it got some bad reviews.The fit and finish on the rover is very good for the price plus a really great case.l find myself player this little guy more often than my full size guitars it is great for sitting on the couch to practice.With the light gauge strings it has an electric guitar feel. Buy the way I installed an after market pickup called the Romp so no it is an acoustic/electric great fun , hope this helps........

The neck is standard (a little slim). If you were blind you would think its a full size guitar. it is *easy to restring and to tune, the headstock is just not in a normal place but the tuners work exactly the same. It does NOT sound normal without an amp. It is great as a "silent" guitar to pratice with, but you need a headphone amp, like a VOX AmplPlug. If you do plug it into a practice amp (like a Cube, 10w marshall, pignose etc.) it will sound great, it also sounds great in full size amps.

Hello, not sure how short is short but I believe the neck is narrow enough where most people regardless of finger length should be able to play the guitar. I would take a chance because the acoustics are really nice.

Given it's small size, it makes for a lovely travel guitar. I recommend you buy a case for it though, so it doesn't get damaged on your journey.

Agree with Mark. It was a little too big for me, but its a great non-electric acoustic guitar.

This is a standard size. I believe it is a little big for you. I suggest you to go to a shop and try different guitars; then, start searching something like those you liked most either because the size or another special feature.

I have not played with the Baby Taylor much, so please take my answer with a grain of salt.From testing out a couple of models, the Baby Taylor seems to be (generally) brighter in tone than the Martin LX1. The bass resonates more deeply with the Martin and I find that it gives a "fuller" sound. In terms size, they are very similar though if I remember correctly, the Martin LX1 did have a lot more weight to it than the Baby Taylor (I think it was the ply neck). Personally, I like the weight to my LX1, but that may be personal preference. Hope some of this helps.

Hi Dan, I am not sure. I am in Dubai now and my guitar is in Colorado. When I got the guitar I immediately took it to a guitar shop to have it set up. The owner of the shop was somewhat dismal to see this guitar and hear of the price that I paid. He said he could no longer afford to sell guitars because of these prices. He told me that he could not make a guitar like this for even close to what I paid. It is a very nice instrument. I haven't played much but plan to do so when I return to the States. Sorry I couldn't help out.

Realize, this is Uk. Not guitar. Difference is it's somewhat tuned/stringed like guitar but in 5th frt position. Neck is narrow, as in Ukulele. Adults play ukulele too but don't expect to be like guitar, ie. Martin or Strat.

George, I can't answer that question as I have already traded that guitar in on a new one. It was, however, a great sounding 12-string with surprising quality for such a low price. The only reason I traded it is because Ovations seem to be easier on my neck. I must be getting old. Fyi, my Ovation hangs mostly on my wall. 12-strings are hard to play and will take persistence to master. But they sound great. Good luck.

I was in the same boat. This is the first guitar I have owned PERSONALLY and I love it. Had it for 6 months or so now. Now that I know a bit more about guitars it is still one of the best sounding and solid guitars I've played. I would recommend finding one and trying it out as everyone likes different sounds. But 300 dollars for a very solid guitar isn't bad at all. I'd just go for it, it'll serve you well.

Nestor, hope I can be of some good here. If memory serves me right, the package is about 3 feet in height, give or take a couple inches. Width may be about 6 inches or so. The guitar probably weighs 3 pounds and the amp maybe a pound. The entire package may weigh 7 pounds. It has been a while since I bought this sweet guitar. I would advise having a guitar shop file the sides of the frets some as they are a bit rough. A set of Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings and higher quality machine heads will make this guitar a lot nicer. This is a keeper! Minis are sought after by some collectors. I actually have a hard to find mini precision bass that plays beautifully! Fender Squier also makes sweet mini Stratocasters. Anyway, I hope I was atleast a little helpful. If you buy this little pink gem, it will be worth every penny. The pickup is a Telecaster type bridge pickup, so if you wanted to hotrod this little guitar you can. Enjoy! - Viv

I ordered a Recording King about a year ago, it arrived, I played it and before 10 days were up I sent it back. It was not the quality I was looking for. So, I'm sorry, I don't know the widest part of this guitar. I got something better for a slightly less price.

I don't have guitar with me right now as I am visiting USA, but it is pretty light. Being an old geezer and hauling that with amp in Thailand, weight is important to me. Far lighter than any LP I've run across, or most other electrics come to think of it. Oops. Thought you were asking about the MP thinline deluxe (so much for paying attention...). Might want to give that one a try!

Slightly smaller than normal guitars but longer neck than the GS Mini. Lighter and more portable than normsl size guitars with a good sound. Be sure to stress in your communicae to the vendor whos shipping it to you that you want non marblized neck and a top thats less engrained since Taylor usses every piece of wood they can find for these lower priced guitars. By marbleized I mean white shades mixed in with the dark wood used for the fretboard. Nice carrying bag. Go to your nearest guitar store first and check it out so you know what to expect or should get.

In my opinion you would have no issues with the size of this guitar neck if you're having no issues with the Fender Squires. I don't think this Epiphone Les Paul Special is a big guitar in any way and the neck should be pretty comfortable for most adults and older kids who have hands that are somewhat small.
