🔥 The EPIC Little LEAF-200 Travel Electric by ALP Guitars - My Full Review!

This is the LEAF-200 travel guitar from ALP guitars. This guitar is compact in size thanks to the headstock-less design. The body of the LEAF 200 is small but the scale length of the guitar is normal (like a Strat) so it feels great to play.
The Humbucker pickups can be split-coiled giving this guitar a lot of flexibility for different styles of music. If you are looking for a great little electric guitar that fits into the overhead compartment this is a great choice.

Some of the best pickups I’ve heard! Lemme know what you think! 😀🎸

[@hutchfromba]

I think the Pups seem great. Play more clean Blues.

[@TheMichaelseymour]

Really great ....kind of helps destroy the "more mass " theory being better ....also , i imagine headless guitars keep tune better ...the one thing i will say is its the first headless that i dont mind the look of ...but maybe manufacturers could make a detachable headstock . To satisfy the purists .

[@sassycat]

Those pickups are RIDICULOUSLY clean and punchy! I'm a fan!

[@cameronmoore7675]

Man, this thing looks and sounds great! Definitely the most stylish travel guitar I've seen, with less of the awkwardness that comes with something like a Steinberger Spirit. Seems like the only thing that's keeping it from being perfect is its lack of a tremolo!

[@timstowers7539]

Amazed at how much your playing has improved over the last couple of years! You have obviously worked hard and it shows, not that I didn't enjoy the vids with a couple of predictable licks but just wow dude. Keep working, an artist is never satisfied, but you are truly at the pro player level now. Kudos to your effort and dedication...

[@LeMans512]

Another great review and an awesome opening riff.

[@arjnoro1]

Thank u Shane all the way from Mexico. I have seen many of your videos and find them very professional unbias and eetertaining. Your production level is very high and you come across as being a player that really respects the instrument. Congratulations keep the videos coming please. (Player for 40 years)

[@BoyAditya]

This is pretty decent headless guitar. Not just a travel guitar

[@jamalabdul2009]

You can really hear the difference between single coil and humbucker mode!!! I’ve been looking for a travel guitar mainly to practice at work and this could be a solution! I spend so much time at work that I really lose focus on keeping up with my playing. I will definitely check this guitar out!! Thanks for sharing!!!🎸🎸🎸🎵🎼

[@lincolnjohnson6511]

Now that’s different! Love it! Just bought my Artist Tweedtone.

[@mitchellmagee4590]

Looks and sounds great, I think I'll just buy one, what the heck.

[@PooNinja]

Oh the green ones look killer to 🤘🏽

[@rickhill6277]

Great Vid Shane! Did you have any tuning issues with your so close to the Tuners? Have a Great Day and Cheers from the US!

[@papiper7773]

Hi can you send me a link where to purchase this guitar.......Thanks.

[@boinkfasco7167]

Can you do a vid on sustainiac pickups ,please ,interested to see what your opinion on guitars with them cheers.

[@weswheel4834]

Tuning? Where am I gonna clip the tuner on? ;) Thanks for the video, great looking guitar. Would take me a while to get used to looking at the missing headstock though.

[@toneydavis9802]

O problem with neck dive for sure! I travel quite a bit and have had guitars damaged. Each time it was a tuning key that was bent. This guitar solves that problem. No reason you couldnt play that live to get full use of it. What do you think Shane?

[@JaniceLalla]

I am hardly paying attention to the guitar, but your playing is magnificent!

[@Returnofthecloth]

What were you playing at the start? Sounded great

[@thylacine1962]

This was an awesome review. To your knowledge is there an Australian distributor? Im thinking this was about a 4 lbs item? Your thoughts would be very welcome. Love your work, rock on Bro.

[@SteveAEee]

Did you say 22 frets, Shane? Fret markers would indicate 24 - unless they do something different?

[@averyseaton7942]

Where can I buy one of these from the USA? I can't find any prices on their website.

[@tarZenization]

I wish they fitted these with vibrato systems. They are found on the much smaller ALP after all. Maybe they are pandering to the high gain Stranberg crowd

[@redcomn]

Ok i came to increase the view of this vid. How easy was it to get this guitar tho shane.

[@kolardins]

Where to buy from?

[@flaviusrotarita6666]

I would do a concert with that

[@cass2771]

Interesting guitar with a solid sound. How was the balance?

[@intheblues]

The balance is perfect. No issues at all.

[@SteveLedger]

Should have played it through a travel/portable amp, like the Yamaha THR.

[@BeardedBluesDude]

Sounds pretty good. Looks good. But for a travel I think they missed the mark with its size, ALP website lists 840mm (33inches). I mean, compared to the Harley benton it was not that much smaller. They have no price listed on their website, their other guitars on AliBaba look to run 600-1000 USD. and if they are anywhere close to that cost with this... they REALLY missed the travel guitar mark. You can get a Steinberger for $400 full scale length 24 frets... and its only 30inches long. Sorry but I think I'd pull the pickups and scrap the rest Shane :)

[@user-se7km4uk7m]

BeardedBlues Dude This model only costs $ 399

[@BeardedBluesDude]

@@user-se7km4uk7m Well that changes things quite a bit. I still think it should be a little bit shorter in size. My Three top considerations for a travel guitar in order... Size, Cost, playability. It sounds great, It really does. But when I travel I am taking the guitar for the practice not for its sound.

[@mooncaine]

Steinberger Spirit GT-Pro is 30 inches, I believe, for comparison's sake. Have to admit I kinda like what I see they're doing with the extra 3 inches. I haven't tried one of these but I'm impressed so far.

[@NCtrailX]

A little smaller than most mini guitars (Squier Mini, HB Mini options are 34-35" overall) but this has full sale length. Can play all cords versus not being able to fret an A cord when the scale gets reduced and fret spacing tightens up.

[@hutchfromba]

This would be awesome for my granddaughters. I wonder what it will cost in the USA. Thanks Shane. Great playing. Blues On.... 💙

[@user-se7km4uk7m]

HUTCHfromBA $ 399

[@giovannisoave9634]

Why not tell everyone its actual weight (2.9kg)?

[@thejoshbtv]

The body is so small that the thumbnail looked like it had 9 strings to me.

[@kolardins]

24 frets? 😉

[@xRepoUKx]

As it's a travel guitar, why not be truly headless and be another 4cm or so shorter?!?

[@intheblues]

It is. But there has to be a bit of room there so you don't slide your hand off the guitar playing an E chord ;-)

[@xRepoUKx]

@@intheblues you can't beat a good e...

[@xRepoUKx]

@@intheblues I take your point but if you have a look at other headless guitars, you can see that the "head" part is way smaller than on this.

[@intheblues]

Maybe. It’s a small body and in the gig bag it’s really small compared with anything else I’ve got.

[@sasmitha8446]

Am I the only one who thinks that the humbuckers have an annoying trebliness to them?

[@ravendemo4980]

Are your pants shiny or are those just rips? 😂

[@DMSProduktions]

ALP makes better guitars these days than government! ALL inner city hipster snow flake politics these days! No wonder they lost the unlosable election! ROCKS! \m/

[@DMSProduktions]
