I wish they had used tuners with shorter handles - I have bumped the G tuner more often than I would like. <br /><br />The sound - main virtue is that it is quiet - but it is not as tinny as a 20 dollar toy. <br /><br />Risa stick looks nice but that is 3x the priceHumphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11008873845597030288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-37676421229539043472018-01-31T06:05:07.743+00:002018-01-31T06:05:07.743+00:00Nothing creepy about that name.

So overall size may be comparable, but this one is probably a bit heartier.Scott and Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09374124084489205677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-58801592594466649112017-09-04T18:08:35.235+01:002017-09-04T18:08:35.235+01:00I'm guessing the name is a play on the series ...I'm guessing the name is a play on the series of guidebooks called 'Lonely Planet', which are about travel on a shoestring.
