Reviews

“It’s friggin awesome!”
- Janet J, OH – Received OC66M

"With composite construction and easily detachable neck, the Journey OF660 is truly a guitar you can take anywhere. ... impervious to the elements."
- Acoustic Guitar Magazine

"Assembling the guitar is simple. Pull back on the neck until you hear the “click,” and then tighten the inner screw by hand, from the back of the guitar."
- Acoustic Guitar

“Triple Threat Guitar” - Roger from Arizona

"Despite all the positive reviews, I still had a little bit of doubt, but it was completely unnessecary. This guitar is fantastic. It sounds better than guitars I have that are quite a bit larger than it which is pretty impressive. "
- Logan Johnston from Novato, CA
