Perfect, for the price
Toastman 14.10.2022
First of all, let me say that I have put 5 stars for all the aspects NOT because it is "the best" in everything. I have put 5 stars because for the price, you get a very complete product perfectly usable, perfectly comparable to products of the same price, and with the added value of the detachable mechanism.

For the price, you get:
- The guitar
- A backpack
- A couple of "bridge saddles" with different size (spanish: "selletas")

The body is smaller, so maybe the sound is less "rounded" than the sound in a full-size guitar, but very little difference.
Everything else is "full size" so the feel of playing is similar to normal guitars.

Let me say that each time you ensemble/mount the guitar takes a time to arrive to a tuning stable situation (similar to the unstable situation when you put new strings). Nothing dramatic anyway. So I recommend to leave that guitar regularly mounted if possible, and unmount it only when you need to travel.
I have added a tuner D'Addario PW-CT-15 hidden in the sound hole and helps you in such situations.

Overall I'm surprised with the mechanism to detach the neck. Once it is mounted you forget that it is a detachable guitar.

About the two "bridge saddles" let me say that the default one (the one that comes inserted in the guitar) is too much high. I think the other one is far better, and gives you a regular feeling. I don't understand why this people put the higher by default. Anyway changing it is very easy and no tool is needed.

I'm using the guitar for 4 weeks and for the moment everything fine.
