I know they're out there, but annoyingly, I can't find any reviews of anything but the high-end ones. I had started down the path of getting something good, but I dawned on me this morning, that that's not the most prudent route to go.

So, I'm seeing MiniStar, LesStar, etc.:

by Codel Enterprises in the $150 range and some sub-$100 models from Santini on eBay:

but I can't find any reviews, etc. about these.

Another decision factor is that the Codel *stars would need some kind of a headphone amp, but the "acoustic" ones have them built-in.

Edit: I forgot to thank Sebastian (Apophis) and Mike (msherman) for the effort they put into spec'ing something "good" before the reality of taking a custom-made baritone 7-string travel guitar to Afghanistan sunk in.

The Ultimate Question: What string gauge is needed for 18.84# of tension when tuned to E2 on a 27" scale guitar?
