Traveler Guitar Guitar 6 String Escape Classical (Cedar Top), Right, (ESC CDG)

This is the guitar has everything I was looking for. I have so many aches in pains from decades of being a musician that reaching around the body of a full size guitar these days simply hurts too much. This one is easy to hold. It also has all the features I was looking for… onboard volume, EQ. And the built-in tuner is actually easy to see without straining to reach the tuning heads… and the tuner is quite accurate. The headphone jack is a wonderful bonus. I often practice at 4:00 in the morning and don’t disturb anyone in the house. It also sounds good for low volume practice without being plugged into anything. And what really makes it for me is the expressiveness, responsiveness, and dynamic range if this instrument. If you love the sound and feel of a classical guitar, try one of these. You might fall in love as well !

I've had the guitar for almost a week now. I've been a steel string dilettante for several years but now I want to learn classical. I realize there are plenty of decent classical guitars that are cheaper than this Traveler (one of their more expensive ones) but I thought this would solve a few specific needs for me that a regular guitar wouldn't.- I wanted something that I could easily travel with and play at work, home, or vacation, and this fits the bill.- I wanted something I could play without disturbing my family or coworkers and the naturally silent nature of this solid-body does just that (and the headphone jack works great, too)- I wanted something small, comfortable, and unique without compromising neck size and this is exactly that.It's actually the same size as my 4-year-old daughter's Toys-R-Us plastic guitar (but much, much better quality). I've played it with headphones and my amp, but my preference so far has been playing it with a little 3.5mm cell phone speaker. It's so cool that I can adjust the volume on the guitar and don't have to sacrifice how strong or gentle I want to play the strings.I've read and watched the very few reviews out there for this guitar and I was aware of some design flaws when I bought this. The higher strings haven't broken on me yet due to the metal nut, but if they ever do, it's something that can easily be filed down to smooth out. And I'm aware that only the longer D'Addario strings work on this, but since I'm new to classical guitar, my taste isn't sophisticated enough yet to care. Compared to a steel string guitar, these strings are like butter - I can do perfect barre chords on this instantly when they've always been a challenge on my other guitars.I was also concerned that the smaller body shape would create problems for playing it with the classical position, but it doesn't seem like that now that I've been playing it. If I ever go to a standard classical guitar, the difference in the body size should be negligible.Again, I've only had it for about a week, and I'm new to classical guitar, but I'm very pleased with it. I've had my eye on these cool-looking Traveler guitars for quite a while now. I'm glad that this one sounds and plays as good as it looks.

buttery smooth neck. broken string on delivery not a big deal but just a quality control issue. overall all the wood and frets were nice. Tuners ok, case was great. just replace everything except the rollers, body and neck and your golden! just another $3-400

I love this traveller guitar - it has met my fussy expectations for the following reasons:- Truly full-scale length of 25.5 inches from nut to saddle (so your fingers and nervous system are being trained to play to the full scale length),- High quality, beautiful high gloss on the cedarwood soundboard (front of the guitar), and (as another review mentioned) I love the satin maple neck; it feels really comfortable, is easy to use, and I just enjoy caressing it!- You can plug in your headphones into the 3.5mm headphone jack (at the top of the guitar) to listen to your own playing through your headphones. AND, if you want to play along to some music, you can plug your mp3 player/iPod into the 3.5mm AUX IN jack (also at the top of the guitar) and listen to yourself playing along to some music. You can use the 1/4 inch (6.35mm) output jack at the base of the guitar (with a 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch (3.5mm) adapter) to plug into a speaker or amplifier - I plug it into my BOSE SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speaker (I can plug this into either the 1/4 inch output jack at the base, OR into the headphone jack at the top of the guitar). If I want to, I can listen through headphones and play through an external speaker all at the same time by using all three ports (with or without the iPod music).The tuning keys are not as easy to adjust as those on a normal headstock since they are not as easy to access (but they are easy enough!). For the first few days I had to adjust the tuning just about every day I played, but after that it has kept pretty well in tune. Hey with the tuning keys tucked into the body of the guitar, the total length of the guitar is just about a couple of inches longer than the actual scale length - which is what we want in a traveller guitar - brilliant!I find this guitar ideal for taking up classical guitar again after learning when I was a child. It is easy to just pick up and use in front of the laptop or DVD player when I play along to some instructional DVDs (I'm using The Principles of Correct Practice DVD for Guitar by Jamie Andreas), and I'm really big on ergonomics (I understand this is the best Traveler guitar for that purpose) and learning to use my mind/body correctly and in a relaxed way, which is what this DVD teaches, to enable me to reach higher levels of playing which is only possible if you learn to play without unnecessary tension in the muscles. I'm also using Aaron Shearer's book (Classic Guitar Technique, Vol 1: Book & CD (Shearer Series) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0739057103?colid=1DQZWUNHWFC6G&coliid=I25S0MVC0H1CQJ&ref_=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl ).The Levy's 2 inch suede guitar strap is great (for me) with this guitar since the honey colour complements the cedar colour beautifully, and it has a shorter length adjustable from 37 to 54 inches - Levy's Leathers MS12-HNY 2-inch Suede-Leather Strap Honey http://www.amazon.com/Levys-Leathers-MS12-HNY-2-inch-Suede-Leather/dp/B000XPSJN2/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1449391261&sr=8-2&keywords=levy%27s+suede+2+inch+honey+strapI hope this helps you in your search for your next guitar.

This is a perfect Acoustic travel guitar. Easy to carry on an airplane.Sound is good (requires headphones/ amplification) and string action is good. Holds tune fine.Weight and size of guitar are sufficient to stay in place on lap (this is a problem with smaller Traveler guitars).Not a replacement for a full size guitar, but ideal for taking on business trips etc.

Una guitarra muy cómoda y con mucha potencia.

The quality was not good! The neck could not be adjusted & there was a lot of string buzzing
