Love my traveler guitar !!!

It is a perfect companion for traveling !!! was able to fit it in my travel luggage. Connected to an external amp and it sounds good. Wish it had a built in speaker but overall, very satisfied with my purchase !

Awesome travel guitar!

This travel guitar is just awesome! It plays like a guitar, and with the stethascope headphones it sounds just like an acoustic guitar! It is a heavy item, and because it has no body, the balance feels funny at first, but you get used to it. I play acoustic guitar, and this was my first intro to an electric guitar, which has been a lot of fun!

AWESOME travel size guitar, versatile and well made!

As a beginner guitarist practice is everything, and this guitar allows access to practice just about anywhere! I take a 45 minute lunch break and I would eat, walk across the street to get coffee and practice outside with the stethophones in playing in the fall breeze. As winter came on I hesitantly went inside and started practicing there, I was worried about the noise bothering others but no one paid any attention at all (great for a beginner like me!). The sound in the stethophones is really great, I found it to be very pleasant like an acoustic but not boomy and not tinny, just right. It is compact as heck! I haven't taken it on an airline yet but I don't see any problems when that time comes. The build quality is top notch, I wouldn't change a thing about the wood and metal used for assembly. The leg-rest attaches securely and feels very nice (I thought about adding a little strip of grippy rubber for my work slacks but never did, it's fine with jeans). The tuners are nice and easily adjusted in the body. The fretboard is nicely finished and feels great, strap attachment is nicely done as well. I am fairly new to the electric guitar scene and still figuring out tones and amps and whatnot so take this last bit with a grain of salt... I had trouble getting a full sound out of the single coil on this guitar, whether using just the single, or blending it and the piezo pickup I haven't gotten it dialed in yet (I have head a number of street performers using these that have no problem getting good tone with the stock pickups so I just need to find the right combo for this one, I'm used to a dual humbucker Les Paul). I have heard people complain about the "balance" of these and honestly I don't understand where they're coming from, it's a SUPER compact guitar it's bound to sit a little different than what you're used to, just get a strap with a little grip on your shoulder and it's fine. Like I said, if there is any negative to these little things it's that it may take a bit to dial in your tone. I STRONGLY recommend these to anyone in need of a travel guitar, and I would LOVE to try out and review their acoustics one day!

Finger Pickin Good!

I’ve found this to be a great instrument for situations where I can’t (or don’t want to) bring one of my full size guitars. The Travel Guitar Pro Series is rugged yet capable of producing great quality sounds when combined with a plug-in amp. I use the “stethoscope” without any problem but the sound quality is diminished. Finally, while the “feel” does not replicate full size guitars, the fret board is the same, so the left hand gets a regular workout (or warm-up) as when playing a Fender.

Indispensable for anyone traveling and hates not having a guitar with them to play.

Love this little guitar. You can coax a surprising number of tones out of this with the single coil and piezo pickups. I especially like the tone of the piezo by itself or in combination with the single-coil. I also tried a Traveler Ultra-light for a week, and feel the Pro-Series is worth the extra money, and really isn't considerably bigger when folded up. Sure, the Traveler Pro-series is not nearly the same as a full-size guitar, but if you travel on planes and want a guitar to take with you to practice with, then this guitar is indispensable. The ergonomics take a minute to get used to, but once you do, you'll find yourself grabbing this rather than a full-size guitar when reclining on the couch and noodling around (or at least I do). Works best with a properly adjusted guitar strap. I've had no problem traveling with this guitar in overhead compartments on planes, and it will even fit inside a large suitcase if you'd like to check it instead of carrying it on. I placed a piece of thick tape between where the lap-rest connects to the body just to take out some of the play that I found annoying where they come together. It feels relatively durable, and the build quality is excellent, but I'd not be too rough with it. I plan to replace the tuners with the newer locking tuners that Traveler now offers which will make restringing much, much easier. Traveler calls this an acoustic guitar, and they provide acoustic strings for feel and plugged in tone, but unplugged it makes no more sound than an unplugged electric would (maybe less, actually). The included stethophone is cool but no replacement for the sound of a real acoustic, and not particularly loud. Works best for practicing quietly in conjunction with a guitar headphone amp (VOX AP2AC amPlug AC30 G2), or running it through your iPhone or iPad using Apogee Jam or an iRig.

Does exactly what it's designed to do, and better than you think

My expectations were fairly low, I just wanted a full-length neck in a small size, to throw in a suitcase, but after I received the guitar and took it to a band rehearsal for laughs, it sounds and plays really good. It doesn't have the weight or balance of a 'real' guitar, and it's not fair to expect that in this guitar, but for the price, and what it's designed to do, you can't go wrong. I keep it by the couch in the living room, in the case, and my wife doesn't mind. When I would leave a full size guitar in there, to noodle on when I felt like it, I could not leave it there when I wasn't playing it. Happy wife, happy life.

Worth Every Penny

No, I am not a paid Reviewer. I bought this travel guitar after a lot of online research.bwhat I can tell you: Worth every Penny; Fits in small automobile spaces, and no terrible loss if stolen (versus my $2,000 guitars; the "stethoscope" it comes with is pretty worthless, but with the VOX AC30 I bought, you plug that in...attach your headphones...and incredible sound; quality item, my guitar Teacher is impressed, and it means I don't have a haul mt Fender Stratocaster to lessons; stays in tune longer than any other guitar I've ever owned. If I read the company was going out of business, I would buy two more just to make sure i's always have one. Good tone, comfortable Frets, pretty (neck looks like Rosewood), Volume and Tone controls, leg rest folds easily behind the guitar, travel bag plenty of room for Cable, VOX, Picks, Extra Strings (never needed them), Capo, collapsible Headphones. This thing is Fun.

diggin it!

Seriously, i love this guitar. We are traveling internationally as a family for an extended period of time and there is no way we could take a full size guitar...much less 2. It is built solid and sounds great. We bought one of these and also a yamaha silent, its pretty dope too. My daughter has smaller hands and the size of this is awesome for her. It is a little awkard to hold but you get accustomed to it quick and a strap never hurt anyone. It is a perfect guitar for the traveler and just pick up a vox or a mini amp/hp to replace the uncomfortable ear set it comes with. Pretty cool!!! Happy travels and good sounds!

Traveler Guitar Pro-Series : Just Brilliant : Extremly light and verstile : Acoustic electric(piezo + magnetic) dual pick-ups

I purchased this guitar initially because I was looking for a lightweight electric guitar to take with me on my train trips and cycling trips. It assuredly is lightweight, moreover it will fit in a average suitcase and can also be carried in its gig bag as a back pack. The feel of the strings is something in between very light gauge acoustic guitar strings and medium gauge electric guitar strings. A huge benefit of that choice for the strings (D'Addario ullra-light acoustic strings) is that it combines perfectly with the two sorts of pick-ups (piezo, like on a electo-acoustic guitar and magnetic (single coils, like) on an electric guitar). The two pick-ups each have a separate volume control and there is also a switch which allows one to select the piezo pick-up or the magnetic pick-up (or both which can the be mixed with their respective volume controls). This makes this small lightweight instrument extremely versatile: You can play music written for the acoustic guitar, the electric guitar and if you mix both pic-up signals, it will sound like a vintage hollow-body electric guitar (because of the contribution from the piezo pickup on top of the electric guitar sound). Basically, you don't have to choose any more: "will I take my acoustic guitar or my electric guitar on my trip ?" Last, but not least, despite the reduced weight and size, the neck has a standard length which makes the instrument very easy to play. Last additional benefit : at the risk of stating the obvious : since the body is basically a solid piece of wood, it is extremely robust. Simply brilliant !
