I think I can give you a better review of the speedster, im disabled and this guitar is just awesome. The finish the simplicity and the super light weight. Tuning is indeed a breaze and remains in tune. You can play this in a recliner.
my only regreats is that they dont make a fancier one with ingraved fret work and a name brand humbucker and heigh end peizo .. For the money you cant beat this guitar.
9 1/2 out of ten stars

Thanks Jim, I did not personally write the review for this guitar but appreciate you taking the time to point out the faults. I emailed the person who helped with the review and apparently the discrepancy came because older versions of the speedster used to come with a single coil pickup. This was the version he had. Still, I agree, the wording was confusing and not accurate.

I personally do not own every travel guitar nor do I have first hand experience with every one so I had to outsource some of the reviews ie-”beg other people to help”. This was done in hopes that with one review in place we would receive feedback from other owners to help shape the review process. Not all the reviews we received were created equal but we will continue to offer a free place to voice opinions about travel guitars.

We sincerely apologize if we used your guitar picture without asking and we immediately changed it to a simpler sale stock photo.

Thanks,
Michael

“…simply because the humbucker pickup is made of a single-coil, making the tone sound deficient, if not a bit weak”

That’s hilarious. You had best look up the definition of humbucker pickup. Try wikipedia if you don’t know anyplace else. That’s a twin-coil HUMBUCKER pickup on the Speedster.

Oh and nice picture of the Speedster. I should know. It came from my website.
