Impressive Acoustic Tones, Wherever You Go!

A travel guitar shouldn't simply be a scaled-down version of a regular guitar. That's why Traveler Guitar brings you the purpose-built Ultra-Light Acoustic. You'll love its full-scale neck and great playability, and the full, detailed sound you get from its Traveler piezo pickup is astonishing. That said, this 3-pound, 28-inch-long acoustic-electric guitar is small and lightweight enough to take anywhere — it even fits in airline overhead bins! If you're looking for easy portability, you can't go wrong with the Ultra-Light Acoustic.

Compact design with a full 24.75-inch scale

Even though it's easily streamlined enough to travel with you in the most cramped situations, the Ultra-Light Acoustic carries a full 24.75-inch scale length. You won't have to worry about trying to adjust to the smaller feel or narrower fret spacing that's often a concern with similar designs. Add to that the detachable arm and leg rests, and you won't even know you're playing such a compact instrument.

Piezo pickup offers tonal diversity

The Traveler Guitar Ultra-Light Acoustic guitar is wired for sound. The under-saddle piezo pickup delivers a wonderfully balanced amplified acoustic tone. Piezo pickups have become legendary among players who love the fact that they are designed to pick up the vibrations of the strings and translate them to great acoustic tone.

Proprietary In-Body Tuning System

While the Ultra-Light Acoustic uses standard tuning machines, its proprietary In-Body Tuning System relocates them into the guitar's body. This eliminates the need for a headstock while providing you with a full-scale playing experience on an instrument that’s 31% shorter and 43% lighter than a full-sized acoustic.

Traveler Guitar Ultra-Light Acoustic Guitar Features:

  • 3-pound, 28-inch-long acoustic-electric guitar is small and lightweight enough to take anywhere
  • Small enough to fit in an airline overhead bin
  • Full 24-3/4-inch scale length means you don't have to compromise on feel

Rated 5/5

Perfect for the couch or office

It's small enough to pass enough to pass around on the couch. Quiet enough to practice on while the family watches tv. About as loud as an unplugged electric. But plug it into an amp and it comes alive. Sounds sweet. Really like the smooth full sized neck. Reminds me of Lez Paul's log.
Rated 5/5

Gorgeous, Clear, and Powerful

This little traveler is as light as promised and absolutely stunning. The clarity is incredible and the tone is perfect for the size. I am especially fond of the lap brace. This guitar is wonderfully easy to play - as someone with small hands, I appreciate how compact this instrument is. Your fingers will fly across the strings!

Traveler guitar

This is the latest of several orders from Sweetwater. I can't say enough about how great Sweetwater or Randy Poteete have been. The customer service is ex and excellent. The orders ship quickly and arrive quickly and in good order.

The acoustic version of the Traveler Guitar is very compact. There are no issues taking it on an airplane. Its extremely quiet, I recommend some type of headphone amplifier. Overall it's good for what it is. I think mine needs a setup to lower the action to where I l like it. For the price, I'd recommend it.

I love this thing!

I got this yesterday and I have to say it's absolutely fun and practical. Great for trips etc, quiet enough to practice in the bedroom and not wake anyone. It is astonishingly light. The dark stain is beautiful, with just the right warm feel to the neck. Some of the parts are a little on the cheap side and I think it may be just a little overpriced. If they upgraded some of the hardware it would help justify the cost. As is, it's a great, fun instrument. I'm giving it four stars just because I think it a little overpriced.
Rated 4/5

Not exactly acoustical

I bought this primarily to keep me from getting bored while my wife drinks, smokes, cusses and gambles in Vegas. To my surprise, it plays and sounds very good. Although,I would compare it more to a hollow body electric than an acoustic. Very happy with this one...
