Johnson Travel Guitar

I bought it about 6 months ago and played it almost everyday. I sometimes breng it to other places for rehearsal or performance. It's never dissapointed me so far.

In the end I was almost $50 out-of-pocket (bear in mind I ruined a nice set of classical strings and paid to ship it back.) And I didn't get the refund in several weeks because the owner is the only person that can authorize it and whenever I called I...Read more
