This is a knock off of the Yamaha and Aria Sinsonado Silent Travel Guitars. It comes with a gig bag. I purchased both the the nylon and steel string versions. It is very light and portable and has a headphone and 1/4" jack. The tuners suck.
Sound
:
No Opinion
The unit uses a cheap piezo that produces sound through the headphone or 1/4 jack for reference purpose only. The best I can say is that it makes sound.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:
No Opinion
The action arrived at about 3/8" off the board or like 8mm. Really you have to deal with it or sand down the bridge saddle like I did. Dont go too low though or you will lose a lot of tone. The nylon model I recieved came with the fret ends not finished, so after finding all kinds of scratches on my hands, I filed down the edges on both sides of every fret.

The ebay store that sold it to me was great but no contact with the manufacturer.
Overall Rating

This guitar is great to travel with so you have something to use. Its a cheap chinese thing that is not too well done, but for $100, it doesnt break the bank and if its stolen, oh well. I tried another brand once, Sojing and it was much better but heavier and bigger.
