Traveler Guitar Speedster Hot Rod at a Glance:
  • Doesn't know how small it is
  • Playability? You bet!
  • Wicked Electronics

Doesn't know how small it is
Traveler Guitar Speedster Hot Rod has no idea it's pint-sized. It feels and plays like like a full-sized instrument. It does, in fact, have a full-bore 24-3/4" scale; it's in the distinctive, space-age body with its integrated tuners (and thus, headless design) where Traveler has saved space.

Playability? You bet!
The Speedster Hot Rod is equipped with a buttery ebonized rosewood fingerboard, giving you the snap (and classy looks) of ebony together with the healthy fundamentals you get from rosewood's oilier, bigger pores. The Speedster Hot Rod also gives you a detachable armrest - for a full-sized playing experience.

Wicked Electronics
The Speedster Hot Rod includes volume and tone controls to shape the output of its great-sounding dual-rail humbucking pickup - but that's just the beginning. "Hot Rod" refers to the distortion circuit that gives you wicked, snarling tone right out of the box. Plug in, and hold on.

A "Must" for the military

by Bill Johnston from Ft Wayne, IN
April 11, 2012
Music Background: Hobbyist
My son is in the military and he was getting ready to deploy again and asked me if I knew of a guitar small enough to take with him in his duffel bag. I went over to Sweetwater and checked out several... read more [+] travel guitars but this one had everything. Well made, solid, excellent playability and action. The headphone amp and distortion channel add to its versatility. It lets him play as loud as he wants without disturbing anyone. The removable arm rest is nice but you don't need it which makes it travel even smaller. This guitar had everything he needed and then some. He's very happy with it and I don't think you could make it any smaller and still have the feel of a full size guitar. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
