A Seriously Portable Full-scale Guitar

The Ultra-Light is the smallest and most compact full-scale and full-featured electric model from Travel Guitar. When traveling, the Ultra-Light Electric will fit almost anywhere — even in the overhead compartment of a plane. At less than three pounds, this axe can go where you go. And when it's time to play, you'll love the Ultra-Light electric's solid 1-piece hard maple design and full-scale 24.75-inch black walnut fingerboard. When you travel with the Ultra-Light Electric, you'll always be ready to kick back and play!

Exceptionally compact design, even for Traveler Guitar

Traveler Guitar is well known for their transportation-friendly designs, but the Ultra-Light model takes this mobile frame of mind to the next level. Its 28-inch frame is the smallest in the Traveler Guitar stable. You aren't, however, asked to sacrifice anything for this trimmed-down body. The Ultra-Light even comes with a low-profile leg rest that can be attached and detached very quickly and easily for playing while seated. And when you're done, just break it down, put it in the included gig bag, and away you go.

It's still a full-scale electric guitar

Even with its diminutive size, the Traveler Guitar Ultra-Light is a full-size electric guitar with a 24.75-inch scale length. The only time you should notice the small size of the instrument is when you're relieved you can carry it right on the plane instead of gambling with the potentially guitar-destroying airline or fitting it in your luggage at the last minute.

Great electronics offers professional-level tone

One place where the Ultra-Light isn't small at all is in the tone. The humbucking pickup in its bridge position offers a full tone with plenty of output for any situation. With as much attention as has been given to this guitar for its ease of travel, thanks to this humbucker, it's a fully capable electric guitar for rehearsal or live performance with a full band. Driven, clean, effected, or dry, you can get the tones you love with this instrument.

  • Compact and travel-friendly yet full-featured electric guitar

Just what I wanted

I bought a traveler a couple of years ago and never really liked the sound. Turns out it was the acoustic version with the pickup under the bridge. I NEVER buy a guitar without playing it first. I know I want it when I play it. I never imagined buying a guitar I never saw. How would it actually sound? Feel? Well I wanted the electric version hoping it would sound more as I wanted it. Talked to Kevin Spunde and he described the differences so I went for it. Got the setup so there would be NO excuses. It arrived quickly, packed in boxes to the max. Well it was exactly as I wanted and expected. This was a test for Sweetwater and they passed with flying colors. so I am going to try another one soon.
Music background: In a band when I was a "kid" and play now for my own satisfaction

Perfect for travel!

Great to have a full-size guitar to practice with when I'm traveling. Very happy with my purchase. A little hard to keep upright in your lap, but just use a strap if you have any problems.
