Why You'll Love It
A 36-inch travel acoustic with a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides and a matte finish - small enough to take anywhere, with a real solid-top voice. A padded gig bag and accessory kit come in the box.
A Solid Spruce Top In A Small Body
Most 36-inch travel guitars use laminate tops. The 36GS-BS has a solid spruce top, so it sounds fuller and more natural than its size suggests.
Easy To Carry, Easy To Hold
The 36-inch GS-style body is compact enough for travel, the sofa or a small room, and comfortable for younger and smaller players, while still being a proper six-string acoustic.
Mahogany Back And Sides, Matte Finish
Mahogany back and sides add warmth, and the satin matte finish feels natural on the neck and keeps glare and fingerprints down.
The SQOE Standard
SQOE traces its name back to a Spanish guitar-making lineage - the Esquivel family, who by SQOE's own account have handcrafted guitars since 1883 - and builds its identity today around the backronym "Sound Quality Over Experience." Guitars sold under the SQOE name are manufactured in China, with a catalog spanning classical, folk, dreadnought, and electric models built for beginner-to-intermediate players who want real tone without a premium price tag. The 36GS sits in SQOE's 30 to 36-inch travel guitar range, offered with a solid mahogany top (AS) or a solid spruce top (BS).
Engineered With Purpose
A Solid Spruce Top
The 36GS-BS has a solid spruce top over mahogany back and sides. A solid top vibrates more freely than a laminate, so this small guitar sounds fuller and more natural than a typical laminate travel acoustic, and the tone tends to open up as it is played in. A multi-ring rosette frames the soundhole.
A 36-Inch Body You Can Take Anywhere
At 36 inches, the GS-style body is noticeably smaller than a standard 40 or 41-inch acoustic, so it is easy to carry, fits in tight spaces and sits comfortably for younger or smaller players. It still uses a full guitar shape and six steel strings, so it plays and sounds like a proper acoustic, not a toy.
Engineered Wood Fingerboard With Dot Inlays
The fingerboard is engineered wood with dot position markers, a stable, dense material used as an alternative to traditional rosewood. A black headstock face with the SQOE logo carries chrome enclosed tuners with black buttons, and a black bridge with black pins anchors the strings.
Mahogany Back And Sides In A Matte Finish
Mahogany back and sides add warmth and body to the sound. The whole guitar wears a thin-feeling matte finish that keeps glare and fingerprints down and feels smooth and natural on the neck.
