I've had my traveler pro for over 3 years & it is starting to show some wear. The neck however is still perfect. I work offshore in the Gulf of Mexico & it flies in cramped helicopters and/or rolls around on crew boats every 2 weeks. It travels in my sea bag and is mishandled every trip. The issues I've seen with other reviews do apply here too. I used the stethaphone twice, it hurt and I left it at home after that. Offshore, I play through a Line 6 Guitar Port to a laptop and the tones I get in these harsh conditions and through simple equipment are amazing. After all this time, I still haven't settled on string choice. The lap rest is held together with super glue & tape. A good tuning is hard to achieve and keep. String changing is a major chore. My work clothes on the rig are shredded by the string ends on the backside tuners. All in all, it is one of the coolest things I own. If it were lost, I'd have to order another tomorrow. Many, many people offshore have asked me "just what is that thing & where can I get one". Thanks for a fine product.
