Description

The Traveler Guitar Ultra-Light is the smallest, lightest full-scale acoustic/electric travel guitar on the market. The 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 31% shorter and 43% lighter than a typical full size acoustic. You can plug the Ultra-Light into your favorite amp or recording device thanks to its piezo pickup and standard 1/4 inch 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 inches 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.

  • A well designed highly portable travel/practice guitar.
Color: Antique Brown Style: Right-Handed
This will fit in an airline overhead. Mine fits (without the gig bag) diagonally in my 25” roller suitcase. It is quiet enough for a hotel room. I can play it in the den while my wife watches TV. It is full scale (on the long side) so it is good for practice. It sounds great with my Vox amped headset. The quality is good. It buzzed at first but I cured that with a truss rod adjustment (included wrench). The action is good. If your goal is a practice guitar on the road or if others are nearby, it’s a great choice. I wouldn’t use it as a performance guitar though it might work with a small speaker/amp but it doesn’t have the resonance of a “real” guitar. For the reason I bought it - quiet practice and portability - I’d totally buy it again. I think the price is reasonable given the quality. ... show more

  • Great all around travel, play, and practice acoustic
Color: Antique Brown Style: Right-Handed
This is a well-made, well-thought out acoustic travel guitar. If you want to play or practice in near silence while around others, this will do it! If you want to hear yourself play and practice, there's an adapter you can buy that'll go straight to your ear buds. If you want a nice sounding acoustic play, it's got a great sound when hooked to an amplifier. Size, sturdiness, sound, adaptability, travel ability, make this a funtastic buy. ... show more

  • Tuners are garbage
Color: Antique Brown Style: Right-Handed
So, despite the title I LOVE this guitar. It’s not loud but very light and super small. It’s the perfect practice instrument. However, the tuners are straight up garbage. Holds tune for a practice session but absolutely terrible holding tune longer than that. But the real issue is that dialing it back in is not smooth. Pretty standard tuners and, believe it or not, you can buy their $60 locking tuners. Standard replacement for the tuners so you can use another brand. Overall though, I’d absolutely buy it again. ... show more

  • Perfect for what it is intended for
Color: Antique Brown Style: Right-Handed
For the price its not a cheap little toy so I do expect this to be fully functional, which it absolutely is, when unplugged its as quiet as an unplugged electric guitar, theres no real "acoustic" unplugged sound to it, so for me its nice for practicing without bothering people. The reason I got it is for travel, going to the beach, flying to another state, I dont have to worry about taking one of my $1k guitars and something happening to it. Its definantly more sturdy than a hollow acoustic guitar thats for sure, like im not afraid of accidently smacking It on something and breaking it. The tuning knobs are OK, could be better but it holds its tune very well, just feels like the strings are a little grippy probably from the acoustic bridge, and the fact that they are being tuned across backwards, pulling the string across the piazo to tune. Intonation and action are set pretty perfectly right out of the box, mine even came perfectly in tune which kinda made me laugh. I was considering the electric version vs the acoustic version because of the adjustable bridge and ability to set intonation I originally ally chose this acoustic version thinking it was going to be louder acoustically without any speaker, the video is a bit misleading on that part, in my mind it doesn't sound anywhere near as loud as in the video. The input jack does in fact need to be opened up and tightened , its loose from the start and ive experienced this before as a beginner that even 1 twist to tighten without gripping the nut under the plastic plate can break the wires inside. Plugged in using my small rock on amp it sounds good, theres definantly some minor "fuzz" id guess you'd call.it, not feedback but almost like if a pickup was trying to read 2 strings ar the same time and kinda blending them when chords are played And the output from the low e seems to be lower than the other strings so its a touch quiter. The leg rest at first confused me because theres a notch on the end of the first bat which slides into the body of the guitar so I figured it must like "pop" into some kind of locking mechanism that would prevent it from sliding out but theres definantly no "locking" feeling when its put all the way it BUT I do think it has something to do with holding it in because once its in you can hold the guitar without supporting it and it doesn't just slide out but when intentionally pulling it out there zero resistance so kinda nice. Neck plays like a low actioned acoustic, it has the thickness of an acoustic guitar neck but the strings are easier to press than my personal acoustic guitar yet haven't had any buzzing problems on 3rd fret buzz test The case is a simple over the shoulder/ handle case I will say the handle needs to be about 2 inches further forward for the weight to be correctly distributed and carried properly, as it is the weight it forward and makes the neck hang down which is awkward and the reason I will never carry it this way but it comes with a cross shoulder strap which fits perfectly comfortably across my back. All in all I only gave 4/5 stars on value for money, because I really feel this should be more around $200-$230 , vs the $300+ i paid for it BUT That said, I'd easily purchase this again seeing as theres nothing that is quite like it and theres nothing about it that stands out as a blaring issue, looking forward to having it wherever I go! ... show more

  • Small, lightweight and compact...perfect guitar for a traveler.
Color: Antique Brown Style: Right-Handed
I was intruligued by this guitar. How could an instrument this small and lightweight put out good sound? The sound quality was amazing. It was easy to tune and stayed in tune. Unfortunately, I had an issue with it and had to return it. Something in the mechanics changed and I was getting a lot of scratching sounds in the pickup. It is a great guitar for travelers and you can plug it in to headphones for nearly silent playing. ... show more
