Traveler Guitar Escape EG-1 Travel Electric Guitar  

Let's start with features: the built-in headphone amp is by far the coolest feature you could include in a guitar! Every guitar should have this! I can be playing in a bus (which I have) playing Led Zeppelin (with the incredibly sexy built in distortion) and switch all of a sudden to a clean clean Fender funk rhythm. Also, The included gig-bag is very good quality and probably your second best buddy after you get this guitar. The headphones aren't very good, but it's not like you don't already own headphones already... Quality is a four simply because the tuners are of bad quality. They seem to despise bends and extended play. Value could be better, as it is on the pricier side (especially since it has a big "MADE IN CHINA" sticker on the back), thought I am pleasantly surprised at the good overall assembly and finish of the guitar for being MIC. The reason why I got it over an entry level Epiphone was because a) I travel a lot between college and home, and b) you save yourself the added cost of having to buy an amp and a case/gig-bag. Overall is a 4 mostly because of how annoying it is to have to re-tune every 30 minutes, and the significant difference in comfort when sitting down with this and a proper strat. But the good far outshines the bad, its a great deal, the neck is lightning fast, it's very fun to play, and the versatility and practical size are just amazing!

This is a great guitar, travel or not! I splurged and bought a vintage Strat.....but hate to take it many places and leave it in my car etc. So I bought this so I would always have something to play.  Outstanding all around intstrument. Action is great. Full size neck does indeed make you forget you are playing a travel guitar. 5 out of 5. Worth every penny.
