Fly date? Pick-up gig? Leave your full-size dreadnought or jumbo at home and lighten your load with the Traveler Guitar Escape Mark III. This capably equipped acoustic-electric comfortably fits in an airplane's overhead compartment, yet its familiar 25.5-inch scale length, convenient headphone output with aux input, and onboard tuner provide the features you demand for your next engagement.

Premium tonewoods

The Escape Mark III sports a compact okoume body for resonance and sustain at a reduced weight. The bolt-on mahogany neck, topped with a black walnut fingerboard, feels lively and responsive in the hands.

An under-saddle Shadow NanoFlex piezo pickup system with standard 1/4-inch output delivers rich, full sound into an amp or PA. Recording and performing never looked so good.

Helpful practice features

Like to stay sharp between gigs? You'll love the Escape Mark III's onboard headphone output (also powered by Shadow), 1/8-inch aux input, and tuner. Now you can plug in and rock out whenever the spirit moves you.

Traveler Guitar....and much more!

Don't be fooled by the size of this guitar - yes its ideal for travel but it is also a great guitar to add to your arsenal. I now have an electric-acoustic guitar that I can play through my Helix for added effects and also listen through headphones - the full size neck makes it feel like you're playing a regular guitar and it sounds & feels amazing! Highly recommend to this to anyone, its a quality product and an improvement over their Mark II with an added tuner etc. Only negative about this guitar is that it is so nice that you may think twice about traveling with it lol.
