What is the size of the neck? Is it hard to restring this guitar? Also, I notice that lots of people plug their guitar into an amp. Does it sound okay without an amp? Thanks!

It's my husband's guitar, but I will answer the best I can. He loves this guitar. The neck is a standard guitar size. He has never restrung it. He plays it plugged in and without plugging in. He plays it unplugged when people are in the room and doesn't want to be noisy. It has a very low volume without. He told me that he plays it in his truck at lunch time and when it touches the metal from his truck, it sounds like it's amplified. He said..."sounds crazy, but true. I still have not figured out how that happens."

Sorry about that, the iPhone corrected the word as I am not from the US. What I wanted to say was that it is the size like any other neck!

The neck is standard (a little slim). If you were blind you would think its a full size guitar. 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.

Bret: it is a very well made guitar, despite its cost. It sounds very low without an amp, as many other solid bodies, however, while travelling, I used my iPad for a large variety of tones at room level, and it worked very well. A small battery power amp works well, too. If you use a large amp, it sounds fine, however it is relatively clean/dry, as expected from any piezo pickup. There are several videos on YouTube that show show you how to restring it very easily.The neck is similar to my Tele ´63 reissue or Les Paul 60s neck. It is confortable and the fretwork is excellent. I don´t think you can make a better electric guitar of this size and weight. Bret: it is a very well made guitar, despite its cost.

The size of the neck is just like any otorrino neck. I haven't restring it yet so I cannot answer that. Without an amp it doesn't work, you have to plug in an amp.

Although it is an electric guitar. An amplifier is not necessary. But the amplifier would make it easier to hear it.

Jeff I do not own the guitar anymore. I realize it was only $200, but I still wasn't all that impressed with it. Sorry I can't help you with this. Good luck!

Some electric guitars don't need an amp since some are built into them (have one and it works quite well). This one however does not have one built in so if you want to hear it correctly than yes, you need an amp. However you can play it without an amp but you won't get the great sound.

You could use whatever your favorite strings are for a classical guitar. It's a standard neck. I never got that far with it. It wasn't what I was looking for. Not a Martin sound quality (didn't expect much from the small body) but mainly it was too heavy/bulky to be useful for me.

slightly more than 2 inches apart. When you slap the guitar in place, the weight of the guitar causes the front pieces to close. I have 10 of them on a board screwed into the wall. My only fear is too much weight. I have no problem with size. I have 3 acoustics hanging up including a 12 string. I can't imagine the neck being much wider. Remmber, it is not held by the neck. It is held by the headstock.

uhhhh buddy, sorry to say that it was a gift for my baby brother. I did use it briefly while I had, but I used it with my guitar, that´s about it. I will suggest that you contact the guys from BOSS, perhaps they´ve tried it that way.

Good Morning Mike,You have the option of either playing it as an Acoustic or Electric . When it is not being used with an Amp it has Deep Rich Sound and is an awesome piece of Musical Equipment. When it is Plugged into an amp you have a wide range of different Sound that you can Achieve such as Distortion and Overdrive for that Heavy Metal moment when you want, or with a few tweaks of the onboard controls you can have a Clean Classic Bass Sound and even a slapping Funk Sound as well. The Pick up in this Guitar is indeed an awesome one. this is a Bass that you will come to love and will indeed become your Favorite Guitar..

It is about the same as playing an electric guitar un-amped, you can hear it if you in a quite room. I bought mine to play at work without annoying anyone while I practice. I now use a VoX adapter and head phones because it is too quite and I found myself digging in too much in order to hear it un-amped.

You might be confusing this with the 110? Anyway, I have several classical guitars and the string spacing seems normal to me. I would add that the whole feel of the neck is just exactly what I'd expect from a normal classical guitar. I would add that it sounds different, but great. I love mine.

Yes indeed it be easy to use. I'd suggest switching strings a couple months in. I did although not perfect it works, I think the gauge on them is 9 so I went with 9.5. It's really good for me and I just started learning in march. Plus I bought a fender mustang 1 amp, because the included amp does not have presets which make the guitar sound even better. It's a must for the price and you won't be disappointed. Hope this helped.

In my opinion it is a shoddy-built guitar with a famous name. The shoddiness is in the neck to body sturdiness - terrible sound as a result. Almost impossible to keep tuned. Yes, the name does mislead you.

It is not loud. When I play live and plug in to the same D.I. box that other players have been using, my guitar can't be heard. I have to tell the sound person to boost my gain considerably, then it works. It seems a preamp is necessary.

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

It sounds very good but do not turn the volume up to much or you get to much feed back. But it is a great amp for the money. I am look at a gibson guitarto see what it would sound like. Good luck.

no it is a set neck , it isn't really for me . it is great for a beginner. The pickups are not great , the volume pods suck . I sent it back. Very poor quality
