Traveler Guitar

Description

The Traveler Guitar Ultra-Light is one of the smallest, lightest full-scale acoustic-electric travel guitar around. The proprietary In-Body Tuning System uses standard tuning machines relocated into the body, eliminating the need for a headstock. As a result, players get the same full-scale playing experience they're used to on an instrument that’s 31 percent shorter and 43 percent lighter than a typical full-size acoustic.

You can plug the Ultra-Light into your favorite amp or recording device thanks to its acoustic piezo pickup and standard 1/4" output. The lap rest is detachable for easy transport, so guitar and bag fit easily in an airline overhead compartment. And, since the guitar weighs less than three pounds and is only 28" long, you can take it anywhere.

The Traveler Guitar Ultra-Light is the perfect solution for traveling players who want a full-scale experience in the smallest, lightest package possible.

    I am able to practice in small spaces like in the back seat of a car, or on a plane, without bothering other passengers next to me. I use a headphone amp and any clip-on tuner works as it would on a regular guitar. The only downside of this acoustic version is that the neck isn't as wide, so it's not really forcing my fretting hand to stretch enough.

  • I love this guitar

    I love this little guitar. I bought mine from the GC store. I have Taylor GS mini for my RV, but it's still too big and too loud in a small rv with others. I saw the Traveller guitars and thought I'd go to a GC and try it out. I'm too new at this so got the GC sales person to play so I could hear the difference using a big amp. The ones with the pickups were hot and a little bitey for me as I only really play acoustic. The Piezo pickup acoustic sounded mellow and it was on the guitarathon sale for 100 dollars off. That tipped it for me. It's small, extremely light and when unplugged, extremely quite quiet. It's so small, I'm finding that I pick up this one more than the regular guitars. Bear in mind, it's not acoustic or electric, so it's not going to sound like anything else. I bought a headphone amp and also use a regular amp when I can be loud. When practicing unplugged at night, it's loud enough for me, but nobody else can hear it. Also, I've found that if I press it tightly to my side, the lower notes reverberate in my chest. With the acoustic pickup there is no tone or volume controls, so everything has to be done through the amp. I'm getting used to that. With no body and only the wire bottom, it takes a little time before it begins to feel normal. The only negative is if I don't hit the notes perfect, I can get some fret buzz. All in all, it's so different from any other guitar, I would suggest trying it in person first. You will either love it or hate it. And remember it's a small travel guitar you can also use regularly. Play it both amplified and unplugged and see if you think it will work for you.
