Reviews
Fun Practice Guitar
"For me this is for practice, not travel. Love the ability to plug in my laptop and follow along with videos, and hear my own playing. Pretty silent to my wife, sitting 6 feet away."
Awesome aftercare! 15 years with EG-1
"I purchased one of the original EG-1s (S#EG-04113) in 2009. I've now moved to Japan, and since the only guitar I could safely carry-on was my trusty Traveler Guitar, it's been my go to axe. Unfortunately, the back cover with hardware was lost during the move, but after a simple email exchange, Traveler Guitar sent me the replacement part free! Makes me want to support this great outfit even more, and will be purchasing the Travelcaster!"
