Traveler Guitar Travelcaster Deluxe - Surf Green Reviews
With the unveiling of the Travelcaster Deluxe, Traveler Guitar introduces a new level of mobile convenience. Not only does the Travelcaster Deluxe remain a 25.5-inch-scale-length solidbody electric guitar while only measuring 33.75 inches long, but it also comes in at a comfortable 5 lbs. with only the essential body contours included. Onboard you'll find a familiar trio of single-coil pickups and controls that remind you of your favorite S-style guitar. And you'll love the vintage-style tremolo and large tremolo block for pitch control and added sustain.

i honestly love this thing
like another wrote, i was looking for that sound you can only get from single coil pick ups. the reviews on here were a bit mixed, but i had to give it a shot. love the color, love the super weird shape, and of course love the price point. the gig bag is great! but man okay. once i grabbed myself a guitar strap for this baby i just felt totally FREE playing this thing. apologies for my lack of terminology but the switch that has five different tone capabilities, oh my god!! its like owning multiple guitars in one. you can get so loud and still get such a clear sound. i haven't bothered to change the strings. one thing i did have to do though, the aux input spot was loose so i youtube'd how to open that up and tighten that and i've been dandy since! but even without plugging it in at all you can still enjoy fiddling around with this travelcaster. it just might be my favorite guitar. for me the spacing on the neck, both between frets and between strings is perfect. if you're thinking about it, just go for it! it is so fun. reminds you it's all about enjoyment and not Endless Grinding And Improvement And Work lol
Excellent guitar...
Typically I avoid spending under 1k for a guitar and I really try to avoid anything under 7 strings. But I needed an affordable guitar with the single coil pickups to really get that prog tone I was chasing. Also, I can't stand normal looking guitars. So I ordered this travelcaster and was more than surprised with the craftsmanship. The tremolo bar is beyond fun, the neck feels rather flat for a 6 making taps really easy and smooth sounding. The pickups are just wonderful and really gets that polyphia and plini type tones. It's not something I'd use for the heavier stuff like deathcore drop G stuff, but it can certainly handle some djenty stuff in drop C though I currently have it simply in drop D and it's been a blast. Anyways, this is an excellent instrument I'd recommend it to anyone looking for that prog sound. Given the quality you get for the price, I really don't have any complaints. Not to mention a pretty nice padded gig bag comes with this.

Sweet water is the best!
Although this is not the best quality.
Having said that
The action is nice.
After using and tuning for 3 days, it stays in tune or very close to it now.
I don't use the wammy bar but I guess it's ok.
The pickups and tone controls give good control for highs and lows.
For me it's great for traveling.
Great for what it is ... but don't expect it to replace your guitars
I rented a strat on a recent trip for 100.00 and a friend said, "Why not just buy a Travelcaster?" .. so I did. It's great. Lightweight, I take it on the plane (just ask the flight attendants if you can place it in the closet at the front of the plane) and with my Scarlett Solo, I'm jammin' on the road with my Mac. I love it for working out ideas, writing songs, practicing songs .. look, I'm not going to record my next EP with it .. but man, this is a game changer. I love it so much, I even bought one for a friend of mine. - it's a no-brainer. Wish the strings were better .. and the whammy bar is kinda cheap ... but otherwise, love my baby Strat!
Just not for me
For the price its a decent travel guitar. I sold mine because I couldn't get used to the body.
Why is the bridge floating off the end?
Without adding any weight or size of significance, the bridge could have had the body fully under it. Instead this is just a finger amputation/smash waiting to happen.
