The Traveler EG-1 Standard is a full 24-3/4″ -scale electric guitar featuring a compact single-cutaway body shape that provides vintage looks and modern comfort to the traveling guitarist. With crown inlays, black speed knobs, a chrome-covered humbucker and its red satin finish, this travel guitar looks and feels like a travel-sized version of a timeless instrument.
Weighing in at just 4 pounds and measuring only 28 5/8″ long, the EG-1 Standard is an ideal carry-on guitar because it stows easily in airline overhead compartments. The EG-1′s built-in Pocket RockIt headphone amp is custom-designed to produce classic clean and distortion sounds through headphones or when plugged into an amplifier. Players can also go passive into their amp of choice. The EG-1′s onboard electronics include a 1/8″ aux-in jack so players can jam with tracks from an MP3 player.
The EG-1 Standard also boasts more traditional guitar features such as a mahogany body and neck, ebonized rosewood fretboard, standard strap pins and a fully adjustable truss rod. Includes deluxe gig bag and comes standard with D’Addario EXL-110 strings.
