I bought one last month. It has been said many many times that the rider is the best sounding travel acoustic out there. I would have to agree. It plays like a full acoustic and sounds like a full acoustic. It's one of the easiest playing guitars I have owned. I think the neck up is a must with this guitar. It is a really comfortable device. I liked it so much I bought another one for my other guitars. I play with the neck up all the time now. As long as the look of the guitar does not bother you than you will be very satisfied with the rider. It has a very balanced tone. Pronounced mid section, the highs are not too bright, and it has a killer low end. I've said this before, the rider could be my only guitar if needed. Hopefully Ted and Barb1 will chime in. I think they each have a couple.
