Well that was very interesting - I just went to a guitar shop for the first time in two years. I played all their tiny guitars:
Yamaha APXT2
Martin LXK2
Cort Earth mini
Fender Redondo mini
Gretsch Jim Dandy
Redding mini
Alvarez LJ2e
Boy, I loved how light they all were compared to my Journey OF-660. And the Martin, Alvarez and the Gretsch sounded reasonable but not great. But they all sounded boxier or banjo-like compared to the Journey. When I came home and played mine, it sounded SO much better than any in the shop, and ergonomically the shape feels so much better too.
Darn that weight! I'm going to go back to the drawing board and try to make my Journey even lighter!
