This Guitar Folds In Half! - Interesting Instruments Ep. 01

This is a new one for me. I haven't talked much about my gear before, but I thought this might be an interesting topic to do in addition to music recordings.
Disclaimer: A few months ago I received this guitar from Journey Instruments free of charge to make this review. However, they did not require me to talk about it in any certain way and all the views stated in the video are entirely mine. Hope this is ok for you guys! I played the instrument for many weeks to make sure I covered as much ground as possible.
0:45 Intro
1:51 Ergonomics & Playability
3:23 Sound (Samples, unplugged and amplified)
6:06 Functionality
The product's full name is Journey Instruments Black Matte Carbon Crossover Classical Travel Guitar- OC660M (yup, that's a full description in the name!)

    Very nice review! Professional and to the point. Well done Stephanie. I like the fact that you were not afraid to point out the instruments flaws. All commercially produced instruments have flaws and we(as musicians) are all too aware of that absolute fact. Seems like a pretty cool guitar overall, I am curious if that locking system would work for an electric bass guitar? Hmmm......

    Dear Stephanie, I am a new subscriber of your channel since a few weeks ago. I absolutely love your tone, interpretation and the quality of your videos. This is also a nice video. Just a little piece of advice, if I may, since you tell us this will be a series of videos that you are going to talk; try to breath more just as you do when you are playing and please drink more water in between the camera cuts. This will make it much more comfortable to listen to your elegant voice. Greetings and respect from Turkey.

    For as long as i've been playing classical guitar, I've always been asking myself... because of the quieter nature of Nylon String, Classic Wood Body Guitars, should guitar amplification be considered "part of the instrument" if it can still retain its "Classical" sound especially for Orchestral and Chamber Music in today's modern technology world? If so, are there other instruments that can still both retain its classical sound and benefit from Modern Technology while staying true to both Instrument and Sound?

    I have read where classical guitarists began growing out their fingernails in order to play and be heard in larger venues. This of course changes the tone just as amplification does. As amplification technology improves, will there ever be a time when solid body guitars will sound the same as acoustic ones?

    Andy Arriaga is like to see a video w a timer if this. Any nylon guitar that has to be brought from zero tension up requires minimum 30 min to completely lock in unless maybe the strings are already worn in. I think someone should do a video on it. For me though it seems a very weird thing to have a guitar in a backpack and then piece it together. I’d have to have a really good reason to do this

    Be aware that human bodies sometimes spontaneously combust. This being the case, I would advise you to not handle any guitars, especially instruments that might be valuable, as damage to the instrument might occur. Talk about "a bit of a mess". Makes Hendrix's Monterey guitar look like a minor Fender bender.
