Traditional Tonewoods in a Travel-friendly Package

Equipped with premium all-solid timbers, a sleek “Scoop-Away,” and an ultra-compact body, the Journey Instruments OF422C Overhead+ is ready to go wherever your music may take you. The Overhead+ features Journey Instrument's patented collapsible neck system that lets you detach and reattach the guitar neck with just a few simple clicks and turns. Once collapsed, it fits inside the included travel bag and into overhead bins on most airlines. This modified 00-style acoustic features a solid spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides for a rich, complex, and decidedly classic-sounding tone. A solid mahogany neck with carbon fiber reinforcement is beautifully playable and responsive. Moreover, Journey’s signature “Scoop-Away” offers unfettered access to the OF422C’s ovangkol fingerboard. For guitar players at Sweetwater, playing every day is the way, even when traveling. When boarding a plane for your next destination, don’t forget to grab your Journey Instruments OF422C Overhead+ collapsible acoustic-electric travel guitar!

Patented removable neck is designed for travel

Thanks to its patented removable neck system, Journey Instruments' Overhead+ guitar can be assembled and disassembled in seconds. It collapses into a size that's great for storage and travel. A string retainer behind the nut makes putting the neck on a breeze. You won't have to put strings back in their saddles or deal with restringing every time you take a road trip.

Under-saddle pickup makes gigging a breeze

The Overhead+ isn't just a great travel partner, it has an onboard under-saddle pickup system that makes it an excellent option for performers! All you need to do is plug into a DI, acoustic amplifier, or preamp of your choice, and you'll get warm, natural-sounding acoustic guitar tones. The Journey Instruments OF422C Overhead+ acoustic-electric guitar is the perfect choice for any jet-setting performer.

Fits in an overhead compartment

For years, taking your acoustic on an airplane was a dangerous prospect. Between pressure, humidity, and temperature changes, rough treatment, or a rare incident of being thrown, airline travel can leave your beloved acoustic battered and bruised. With the Overhead+ from Journey Instruments, that's a thing of the past! The guitar ships with a TSA-compliant backpack that fits inside most overhead compartments.

  • 00-style acoustic-electric designed for travel
