Traveler Guitar

Description

The Traveler Guitar EG-1 Custom is a full 24 ¾-inch scale electric travel guitar. The proprietary In-Body tuning system uses standard tuning machines relocated into the body to create a guitar that has a full-scale neck, yet is substantially shorter than full size electrics. The lack of a headstock and a small, ergonomic body allow the guitar to be 27% shorter and 50% lighter than a full-size electric, all while preserving the same full-scale playing experience you’re used to.

Active electronics. Plug in. Rock out.
The guitar features active electronics with our proprietary 4-channel headphone amplifier built-in, allowing you to practice privately. Cycle through clean, boost, overdrive and distortion tones using the custom tap-pot and listen through your headphones or favorite amp. In addition, the EG-1 Custom includes the Shadow E-tuner, a chromatic tuner built-into the pickup ring always ready to go, so you don't need to carry extra gear. The jackplate has an aux-in so you can plug in your mobile device and play along with your favorite tracks.

In-Body Tuning System
Traveler’s proprietary In-Body Tuning System™ uses standard tuning machines relocated into the body, eliminating the need for a headstock. As a result, you’ll have the same full-scale playing experience you’re used to on an instrument that’s 27% shorter and 50% percent lighter than a comparable full-sized guitar.

Headphone Amplifier
The Traveler Guitar 4-channel headphone amplifier is built in, allowing you to shred at full volume without waking the neighbors. Cycle through clean, boost, overdrive and distortion tones using the custom tap-pot and listen through headphones or plug into your favorite amp. The guitar is also equipped with an aux-in so you can connect your mobile device and play along with your favorite tracks.

Gig Bag
The Traveler Guitar EG-1 Custom is the perfect solution for traveling players unwilling to compromise on scale length, and looking for a compact yet comfortable guitar. Fits easily in airline overhead compartments in the included Deluxe Gig Bag.

    It plays nice and is built well, but it does not stay in tune. Even after I put locking tuners on it. Active pickups sound decent, in two of the settings. The other two are terrible. Don't expect a great guitar. It allows you to conveniently play away from home, which is the idea.

  • Nice guitar but the case is junk

    I carry the guitar to work, normal stuff from my vehicle to the office. After one week I noticed the top of the shoulder strap is nearly ripped loose. I checked the bottom of the strap and it was ripping as well. A travel guitar should come with a sturdy case, one built for travel. This one is not.

  • Most fun I've had with a guitar...

    Great action. Case the size of a tennis racket. Most fun I've ever had with a guitar...

    Love the built effects, I can be in my room rockin out without disturbing family. I replaced the cream pickup mount/tuning ring with a black one. Also replace witches hat knobs with Gibson style speed knobs.
