Strobel Travel Guitar Reviews

The Strobel Rambler is a great guitar to play, I take my Strobel out to tour on the road and love having it in my arsenal.

The construction and playability of the Strobel Rambler Travel Guitar far surpassed my hope and expectations!  This guitar is easily fretted and enjoyable to play. It sounds great through an amp, headphones or independent speaker.  Very well done!!

My new Rambler guitar is so much more than a Travel Guitar!  It’s got character and feels amazing.  You can tell that a guitar player has thought this out and put his love and time into it.  Thank you Russ!

I am ecstatic with my new Rambler Portable Guitar!!  I am amazed with the sound quality, on a par with my 58 Reissue Gibson Les Paul!  Strobel Guitars has smacked it out of the park! Your product is excellent, looking forward to trying a Rambler Custom Electric Travel Guitar in the future…

My new Rambler Travel Guitar is just superb!  The quality of the finish and attention to detail – wahoo!  And I plug it in, and Here Comes the Sun!!   The Rambler is so comfortable, light, easy on your back and good sounding.  My other guitars are going to grow dust…

I am just thrilled with my new Rambler electric travel guitar.  The fit and finish is so very well done.  The design is beautiful and thoughtful and the hardware is beyond expectation.  The set up was near perfect!

I was nervous about spending $600 on a travel guitar but the Rambler exceeded my expectations.  The breakdown and set up is quick and easy.  Great design and an excellent playing guitar!

I love the feel of my new Rambler Classic Travel Guitar!! I don’t want to play anything else.  The controls are simple and the tonal variation I get are amazing with plenty of sustain.  It was a saving grace for me in Afghanistan.  All the way around the guitar is wonderfully designed and is a […]

I am loving my new Rambler Travel Guitar!  You’ve done a fantastic job with the design of these travel guitars, the dis-assembly and re-assembly is very simple.  The Strobel Rambler plays like a full size guitar and I find myself picking it up in preference to my other guitars.

I am very impressed with my new Rambler Classic Travel Guitar!!  It is a great sounding and easy playing guitar.  I play several different guitars here in Italy when I perform and teach, the Rambler is a better guitar in many respects. Well worth the money!

I needed a handy guitar that could travel with me, but this is so much more: the sound is great and the quality is extremely good.  I disassembled and assembled it several times, it was a piece of cake!  Great value for the money, thank you for making these amazing instruments!

My Rambler Travel Guitar arrived today.  It was well set-up, I couldn’t be happier with it.  The Rambler is very well made, sounds and plays great. Exactly what I was looking for, with an impressive gig bag as well!

I was just absolutely floored by the build quality and the finish of this very cool travel guitar!! I plugged it in, and it sounded nice and fat like my Les Paul.  I couldn’t be more happy with this purchase!

“In comparing my Rambler portable guitar side-by-side with my PRS, the tonal frequency is bright and clear, it overdrives unusually smoothly, giving a bluesy sort of tone. I can also get a “100 pound violin” sound with high amp gain, neck or both pickups and tone almost fully down. Dropping the gain back a bit, […]

“My Strobel Rambler travel guitar is doing GREAT, never had a single problem with it and I’m really enjoying the coil tap feature. I run the guitar through a Tascam CD-GT 2 processor and headphones. Occasionally, I’m able to play on jets while on my trips. Everyone that sees the Strobel guitar is blown away […]

“Hi Russ, it’s a winner! Very usable sounds in a band context. I would gig with it anytime. The size makes it nice to carry around. The pickups, wood selection, and big neck, plus locking down the bridge seem to make a very big sound for the size. The fret work is great. It feels […]

Lead Guitarist from the Noveaux Honkies, International Blues Competition Finalists “As far as the Rambler Electric Travel Guitar goes I’ll say this. If you shut your eyes and just play the thing you have no idea it’s a travel guitar. Other travel guitars I have played are good as a practice item in a pinch. […]

“Russ, my Custom Rambler travel guitar looks fantastic! The back of the guitar looks GREAT! As does the rest. Please let me add $100 to the price for the ‘Russ Strobel special touch’… I know for sure you spent time and effort, and I would like to say thanks … I thought you were so […]

“I really like the Rambler Travel guitar – it’s high quality and very convenient. I actually play it more at home than my Les Paul!”

“The Strobel Rambler Classic portable guitar is a similar style to the Hohner with the following differences: It is a bit lighter. It has the shorter Gibson scale length which is more to my taste. Tuning is a lot easier than the fiddly system on the Hohner – it uses locking tuners and you have […]

“It’s been a few months since I received my Rambler Classic Professional Electric Travel Guitar and I’ve had the opportunity to take it on the road with me on several trips. I’ve been extremely pleased in terms of portability and playability. By far, the Rambler has been the best travel guitar I’ve owned. Breakdown is […]

“I received your beautiful Rambler Classic travel guitar, and what a fine guitar it is! I immediately liked it and enjoyed its finish, colour, shape and the quality of the hardware. Fantastic job! I have played it for hours now and really like the feel of it. The guitar stays perfectly in tune.”

“I am so impressed with the Rambler travel guitar that I sold my Gibson SG and have only been using my Rambler ever since. Very well made guitar and the pick ups are a big shock, offering top notch sound. I get better playability on my Strobel Rambler than I do on most of the […]

“The Rambler portable guitar is very finely made and sounds great. It is the best solution available for the travelling or touring musician. The Strobel professional travel electric guitar is a beautiful and fully functional high quality instrument.”

“My new Strobel Rambler travel guitar arrived today, I’m really pleased. The setup is perfect, the action is great and even the frets are just how I like them. The guitar plays great, I’m really happy with the sound – very full and resonant – more so than I ever expected. The way it breaks […]

Rambler Custom owner “The Custom Rambler travel guitar looks amazing and plays great!! I am really happy with the look, feel, intonation and tone. The pickups are fantastic, especially with the split coil option. Thank you for a brilliant guitar design and excellent workmanship.”

“I am really impressed with my new Rambler travel guitar. It has great sustain and with the dual humbuckers I can play any style I want from rock to heavy metal. It is really easy to break down for going out on the road, and easy to put back together.”

“My new Rambler Travel Guitar is outstanding! Much better than most guitars I have played and the equal of my old vintage Gibson Les Paul!”

I love my new Rambler Travel Guitar, it sounds like a dream! I simply can not believe how good the Rambler Travel Guitar feels and sounds – truly amazing!”

“I am back in Afghanistan with my Rambler Travel Guitar, it is an awesome instrument. I love everything about it – the design, sound , feel, look, etc. The best feature is that the size and portability doesn’t compromise the quality of the guitar. It is a small guitar with a big versatile sound!”

The Rambler Travel Electric Guitar is better than my high-end full size guitars! Sounds amazing, the sustain is out of this world, can’t be matched on any full size guitar I’ve ever played. The Rambler has replace all my guitars as my go to guitar!

The Rambler Travel Guitar exceeded my expectations. Very high quality, the fit and finish is excellent, including the fret work. Best of all, this guitar is alive and resonates beautifully. Even sounds good unplugged! Thank you for such a great instrument!

The Rambler Professional Electric Travel Guitar is exactly what I was looking for. Perfect for people who travel to be able to easily take the guitar apart and pack it in my carry on luggage. Very well done!

My Rambler Portable Guitar has great sustain, tone and feel – a really worthy high quality guitar!

The Rambler Travel Guitar beats my Gibson SG! The fretboard is fast and smooth. The sound is perfect, not what I would have expected from a “Travel Gutiar”. Great work, in the same league as my Ibanez JEM and Carvin Jason Becker!
