Has anyone played a Washburn "Rover" travel guitar? Is there any significance to the fact that Rover can also be a dog's name or is this just a coincidence?

A co-worker bought a Rover last year.It plays pretty well,and it's definately portable. It's very compact and almost weightless. I don't think the body is any largerthan a concert size uke,not large enough to produce much bottom end, so the sound is thin and trebbly. Kind of a disapointing sound, but for hotel room use, you could probably get by with it. I don't know how well you could hear it among other instruments. I'm thinking it would get lost, much like my dulcimer does in a large jam. I think for a guitar-oriented trip,where jams are the norm, something bigger is in order.For buisiness trips, or other types of travel where it's just used alone in a hotel room it would be ok.
