either 24" or more likely 22" (it might be a 3/4 sized "mini" guitar)? Any ideas???

That just looks lime some cheap first guitar thing. Why would you want to identify?

Funky shape and being sold in London for £40. Wondering if it's worth a punt for that price?

Had logo on headstock, so not totally crappy no-name guitar...maybe..

Decals cost pence, and if they make you think a guitar is more credible, then they've done the job. The only way to be sure would be to play the thing, but the fact it's got a humbucker strapped on dates this thing to very recently, and from the far east. It does look alright, but you'd want to get a pickguard on there sharpish, and hope it plays nice. Budget guitars tend not to, mind.

Its a Tanglewood EE10 Mini/Childs Guitar.

£63 new, not worth getting in my opinion.

my £30 alba tele is probably the best playing and sounding guitar I own..no joke. Far east is starting to knock out some quality stuff.

Which reminds me, I PMed you asking if i could buy your squire tele custom II neck. you still have it?

I do, I'll check my PMs, I think I remember reading that.

It has a taper from just under 54mm at the headstock end of the heel, to 55mm at the butt. It's squared off at the end as is normal on a Telecaster. Has a 22nd fret overhang to hide any gaps down there anyway. Want to know any more?

Tapered, hmmm. Is that a standard Fender tele thing?

I'll have to pull the neck off my alba tele and check dimensions - assume it's standard, as someone on youtube stuck a strat neck on theirs.

All necks are really, but like I said it's just one millimetre.

...That one's obviously not the child's model, the bridge and pickup are almost wider than the guitar in the linked example...

Anyway, it's probably shit, but very cool that they still make it... Gives some of that vintage Japanese crappy guitar vibe, but in the modern day. If you bought it, it'd probably need to stay as is, and I wouldn't hope for more from it other than that

I tried a Squier Mini the other day and it was surprisingly playable - I was thinking travel electric or something I could leave around without worrying. Plus I have small hands anyway, one reason I like Fenders and especially the "A" shortscale neck on the Swinger.

Tanglewood have imported some reasonable stuff in the past (I have an acoustic, I needed to lower the bridge saddle a bit)but I'd want to try it.

...If I had a travel axe, it'd be this one:



I nearly bought one while I was in New York and needed something to impress people with, but came across the most amazing $80 acoustic in the world so...

The fun thing is that I wouldn't care about it. Maybe I'd install a subwoofer or something.

my brother had a squier mini which is mine now and i have to say there fuckin awesome for your money

looks decent, but nothing special.
