This Axe Lets You Rock Out Anywhere!

At last, Traveler Guitar's EG-1 Custom gives you the full-scale features you want in a streamlined guitar that lets you take your music anywhere. It's the perfect compromise between a traditional solidbody electric guitar and a stripped-down travel-sized model, giving you the portability you need, plus the playability you demand. This full 24-3/4"-scale electric guitar fits easily in airplane overhead compartments or your luggage. In addition to a full-sized humbucker, there's also a headphone amp (complete with distortion) and a built-in tuner, so you can rock out anywhere with your Travel Guitar EG-1 Custom guitar, even if you arrive at 2:00AM.





Traveler Guitar EG-1 Custom Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Ditch the bulk, not the scale length
  • Top-notch tonewoods and killer looks to go
  • Packed with goodies and loaded with tone

Ditch the bulk, not the scale length
Sure there are other so-called travel guitars out there, but the Traveler Guitar EG-1 Custom gives you something those shrunk-down models can't: real full-scale feel. That's because the EG-1 Custom's unique design manages to lose the access bulk, without trimming down its scale length. You don't even need to buy special strings! In the end, the EG-1 Custom gives you a super-portable guitar that still feels and acts like a regular, full-sized instrument in every way that matters.

Top-notch tonewoods and killer looks to go
An upgraded version of Traveler Guitar's original Escape EG-1 electric guitar, the EG-1 Custom gives you excellent tonewoods plus classy looks to boot. First, there's the EG-1 Custom's combination of a lightweight and resonant alder body with a bound African mahogany neck - a tonewood combination that perfectly balances warmth, sparkle, and bite. Add to that gold hardware and block fretboard inlays, and small as it is, the Traveler Guitar EG-1 Custom is one good-looking electric guitar!

Packed with goodies and loaded with tone
No matter what guitar you play, nothing is more important than your tone. That's why Traveler Guitar loaded the EG-1 Custom with a full-sized classic-style humbucker. It sounds awesome! But when you show up at your hotel in the wee hours of the morning, itching to rock out before you crash, no one's going to want to hear how great your axe sounds. Lucky for you, the EG-1 Custom features a built-in headphone output, complete with an excellent distortion engine. And since there's no point to playing out of tune, you'll also be sure to appreciate the Shadow tuner onboard your Traveler Guitar EG-1 Custom electric guitar.

Traveler Guitar EG-1 Custom Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • Full-sized guitar sound and feel that you can take anywhere
  • Unique folded string design gives you a full 24-3/4"-scale guitar in a 28-1/2" frame - no special strings needed!
  • Compact frame packs small enough to fit comfortably in your luggage or the overhead storage compartment of most planes
  • A fantastic guitar for playing on smaller stages
  • Resonant alder body and dense mahogany neck provide a balanced yet vibrant tone
  • Full-sized humbucker delivers classic electric guitar sound
  • Built-in headphone amplifier with onboard distortion engine makes rocking out alone a blast
  • 1/8" auxiliary input lets you jam along to your favorite tunes
  • Custom gig bag included
