Comprised almost entirely of carbon fiber, this sturdy strummer is scaled down to match modern travel needs, complete with Journey Instrument's mini grand symphony body and proprietary bracing pattern to ensure expected projection and articulation no matter where you decide to play. Additional enhancements include a passive under-bridge piezo pickup system, complimentary chrome hardware, locking tuning machines, and an extremely smooth matte finish all around for elite navigability. Whether you find yourself in need of a reliable tour bus trainer or a light-yet-potent acoustic to tackle studio sessions, stage performances, porch-pickin' jams, and beyond, you needn't hesitate to select the Journey Instruments RoadTrip RT661M acoustic-electric guitar.

Ultra-lightweight carbon fiber construction

While providing a lightweight figure, the RoadTrip RT661M's carbon fiber construction is equally skilled in tonal distribution. A complete carbon fiber build and proprietary carbon fiber bracing pattern dissolve sound into rich, detailed projection with ample clarity and articulation among all frequencies, making the RT661M a perfect sonic match for players of all genres and play styles. As it's scaled-down size and ultra-lightweight build allude, the RT661M makes a great travel companion and is a perfect pick for younger players or musicians with smaller hands. No matter where you decide to employ this acoustic, rest assured that its carbon fiber design will remain sturdy and stable in almost any playing environment.

Bound in Journey Instruments upholstery

Scaled down and optimized for travel, the RoadTrip RT661M acoustic-electric makes zero sacrifices to performance, thanks to an onboard collection of Journey Instruments appointments including locking chrome tuners, a bone nut and carbon fiber saddle combo, and additional chrome hardware. Likewise, the guitar's matte-finished carbon fiber neck is effortless to maneuver, paired with a scooped cutaway for unmatched access to every fret. It's all topped off with top-shelf Journey Instruments aesthetics, including a twill carbon fiber weave design, a crescent moon soundhole, and dot side markers along the fingerboard for improved notational accuracy during play.

Under-bridge piezo pickup system

Hidden underneath the RT661M's bridge is a formidable 3-piezo pickup system, which captures sonics for rich projection in a number of potential performance scenarios. Additionally, the guitar's onboard optional volume wheel makes it a cinch to lock in the right amount of output for playing situations. Comprised of German piezo elements and tuned specifically to match the tonal qualities of the RT661M's carbon fiber body, Sweetwater guitarists have had massive success utilizing this piezo system within both stage and studio playing environments.
