The Traveler ET-1 “travel guitar” is one of the coolest little things I’ve seen in awhile. It’s basically a full-scale guitar in a mini size. The tuners are moved from the headstock to actually in the middle of the body! It comes with a small gig bag case, and who can’t use a tiny guitar to take with you when you’re away from home? It even has a built in “Pocket Rocket” Headphone Amp with a couple of effects that can even be used when the guitar is plugged in a regular amp! This is a great gift idea for a guitar player!
Here’s a great video demo of the Traveler EG-1 to the classic jazz standard “Summertime”:
Here’s the official video demo from the Traveler Guitar company itself:
The Escape EG-1 is the most sophisticated travel guitar you’ve ever played! It includes an onboard Pocket RockIt headphone amp with distortion & clean tones so you can plug your headphones directly into the guitar and rock out anytime, anywhere. Co-designed by John Carruthers, the Escape EG-1 also boasts more traditional guitar features such as an American Hard Maple neck with an ebonized rosewood fretboard. With a full-size humbucker pickup, full 25-1/2 inch scale, and 22 jumbo frets, you’ll forget you’re playing a travel guitar!
