Traveler Guitar

collapse expand iconDescription

The Traveler Guitar Ultra-Light Electric Travel Guitar is the smallest and lightest full-scale electric guitar. This innovative instrument uses a proprietary In-Body Tuning System that relocates the tuning machines into the body, eliminating the need for a headstock. As a result, the Ultra-Light Electric is 28% shorter and 68% lighter than a typical full-size electric guitar, with the same 24.75" scale length. Complete with a high-output dual-rail humbucker pickup and a 1/4" output, the Ultra-Light Electric can plug directly into your favorite amp or recording device. Weighing just over 3 lbs and only 28" long, this guitar fits easily in an overhead compartment for traveling with you anywhere.

Full-Scale Neck in a Compact Body

The Ultra-Light Electric features a full 24.75" scale length neck for familiar feel and playability. The lack of a headstock and small, contoured body provide the portability of a travel guitar without compromising on scale. The hard maple neck and body deliver resonant tone with plenty of sustain.

High-Output Pickup for a Robust Tone

The dual-rail humbucker pickup offers a full tone with plenty of output. Combined with a 1/4" output, you can plug the Ultra-Light Electric directly into your favorite amp or recording device for practicing, performing or recording on the go.

Lightweight and Travel-Friendly

Weighing just over 3 lbs and measuring only 28" in length, the Ultra-Light Electric is designed for traveling. The detachable lap rest can be stowed away for easy transport, allowing the guitar and included gig bag to fit in an airline overhead compartment or any tight space.

Versatile and Affordable

The Ultra-Light Electric is a high-quality yet affordable solution for any guitarist looking to practice, perform or record on the go without compromising on feel or tone. Available in 3 vibrant finishes, the Ultra-Light Electric lets you express your personal style whether practicing, performing or recording.

    I have been renting guitars when we travel for vacation but the quality is variable and the cost adds up. I was therefore looking for a compact travel guitar. Didn't love the Martin version and then tried the Traveler. It is beautifully designed and crafted. Most importantly, the neck and fretboard feel and play like a good quality full-sized guitar. The action is nice without any fret buzzing. It even holds tuning better than my Gibson ES335. I use it with a Boss headphone amp or connected to my laptop with a FocusRite, but it can even be played without amplification if you're just practicing. Only adjustment I had to make was where to put my right hand (if you like to rest it or a few fingers on the body of the guitar). It took a few days of trying different things, but now I don't even notice that there is almost no body. No problem on the airplane as this will fit in the overhead compartment or under your seat. Stewardess offered to store it in the closet for me. Cannot recommend this more highly

    I have the "acoustic" version, and I carried it around the world on a year-long trip. It's small, light and easy to carry—just swing it over your shoulder. It's super durable, carved out of a single plank of maple. Unplugged, it sounds and plays like a solid-body electric. The amplified sound is surprisingly good (I have actually gigged with it). When traveling, I pair it with a NUX MP-3 Mighty Plug Pro headphone amp.

    I travel 80 percent of the time for work. This guitar has been amazing. It plays very well, the craftsmanship is surprisingly good considering the price. It has been on three coast to coast trips in 2 weeks and I had no problem fitting it in overhead compartments.

    I was looking for a cheap guitar that i could take everywhere. And Bazinga!, there it is. Action is pretty decent, weight is awesome, I love the fretboard. It's a cheap guitar, so could it be better? Yes. I suspect, like most low end guitars, you have to look them over well.

    This guitar didn't do well in the long run. The guitar travels well but that's about all it does well. I still like all the features that originally attracted me to this guitar, compact and simple. Unfortunately this guitar is lacking in sound quality. This guitar always sounds off. I got a professional set up done and the luthier had a nice amp, guitar was still making a squawking sound. I was told that the pickup was the issue so ultimately swapping might work.

  • Nice fretboard but....

    I had the shop set up the action and it's good but I also had them put in another pickup to try to improve the tone. The geniuses that engineered this guitar put the pickup in the bridge( with no tone control!) so with no guitar body, no tone control and only a bridge pickup prepare to turn down to zero your amp's treble and middle setting and hope you can find a decent tone. You'll need to buy a better travel amp.

Item #:1500000284547 #: 115700189
The Specifications mention this model having a Dual-rail humbucker pickup.
But as the picture shows, it is actually a High-Output Single-Coil pickup.
I would like to have more info about that pickup, its brand and make and if the individual poles can be adjusted with an hex allen wrench.
