Redlands Dreadnought w/Gig Bag

$399.99

By removing the headstock, the Redlands Dreadnought is better balanced than other travel acoustics, yet retains the full size neck you are used to. As a result, you'll have the same full-scale playing experience you're used to on an instrument that's substantially shorter and lighter than a typical full-size acoustic guitar. The modified traditional bracing pattern creates more volume and presence than you'd expect from a travel-sized instrument.

Reviews

Love it! Full scale travel acoustic!

"Love it! Full scale travel acoustic! Came pretty well set up. Let it sit in my house for a week and put a turn on the truss rod to get it perfect. Just what I wanted for weekend getaways. We have been taking full sized dread naughts, but now we have a smaller, lighter option. The gig bag has some decent storage as well. Tunes easily and plays very well. I have an Escape Mark3 that I have kept by my desk for years. It too is a quality instrument that plays well. Also have an Escape bass that I really like. Having a full acoustic is the best of both worlds."

Very well-made, incredible value, telling all my friends to buy one

"This is not only one of my favorite guitar purchases ever, but maybe one of my favorite product purchases ever. This guitar is incredibly well designed, and well-made. The guitar arrived nearly in tune, that was the first sign that I bought something pretty solid. I’ve played it nonstop since I got it, and plan to play it at my next live gigs, right alongside my old Martins. The neck is super playable, the action is very low, but still gets good volume. I love the feel of the neck, maybe it’s those jumbo frets, but it is super playable. Depending on the song, the acoustic dry can sound a little bit boxy, but plugged in it is very impressive. Of course, also plan on taking it on business flight every few weeks, the guitar finish is very hard and solid, I suspect it’s gonna repel most dings encountered. The walnut fingerboard on mine was pretty dry, I put some lemon oil on it and now it looks just like rosewood. Be careful when you are restringing it, I burned a set of strings, not paying attention. Maybe some more specific instructions about how to move the tuning bridge into the proper position prior to locking the headstock lockers in."

A guitarist's guitar and a traveler's Traveler.

"I've had mine since 2018 and it's been absolutely one of my favorite guitars. Plays great, sounds fantastic. Versatile enough for practice, open mics, and bigger shows. And, obviously a phenomenal travel guitar. Cabo, Cancun, Hawaii, and plenty of CONUS states. Fits in the overhead compartment and doesn't take up much trunk space."

My Favorite Couch Guitar

"As a retired guitarist and collector with over 40 guitars and many travel size, this is my favorite playing small guitar and the sound is fantastic with beautiful articulation with my finger style play and plenty of volume for campfire strumming with others. . Great Value and easily tuned was well."

Great Guitar

"The is the second Traveler Guitar I have purchased. My wife and I travel full time in a motorhome. The Traveler Guitars are easier to store versus a standard guitar. I am a guitar hobbyist, not a professional, so for me the sound is great. My disappointment are the Traveler Guitars are manufactured in China. I would be willing to pay a bit more for a Made in the USA product. Also, attaching the small leather strap at the top with a zip tie seems to cheapen the great design."

Beautiful, Quality Instrument, a Dream after tweaking

"Amazing quality instrument! I’m amazed I haven’t seen more people playing these. Guitar came set up wonderfully for traditional acoustic players right out of the box. I like mine setup a bit differently, and after changing strings and tweaking the truss rod this guitar is set up PERFECTLY for my wants, absolutely love this instrument!"

Michael D. (5/5)

Great Travel Guitar

"This is my go-to travel guitar. For it's size it sound great. It really stays in tune too. Mine does not have the sunburst but this one really looks cool!"

Sid S. (5/5)

I really don’t have enough

"I really don’t have enough experience to write a meaningful reviews if the guitar itself—this is the first I’ve ever owned and I don’t know how to play it yet. Having said that, the company was ask you could ask fire; honest in their pricing, simple to order from, and fast w delivery. I like the smaller form of the guitar and the built-in is tuner is very nice. I assume that once I learn to play it, it will be an excellent instrument."
