An electric travel guitar with full-scale feel.
Get full-scale electric guitar performance in a compact, travel-ready format with the Traveler Guitar LTD EC-1. Officially licensed by ESP Guitars, this single-cutaway electric guitar is designed for players who need a portable instrument without sacrificing familiar feel or tone. Featuring a 24.75" scale length, a carved mahogany body and neck, and an ESP-designed active humbucker, it delivers the response and output expected from a full-size guitar. At just 30" in overall length and weighing just over 5 lb., the LTD EC-1 is built for easy transport, whether you’re practicing on the road, tracking in tight spaces or keeping a reliable grab-and-go instrument within reach.
Compact Design With Full-Scale Playability
Despite its reduced footprint, the LTD EC-1 maintains a traditional 24.75" scale length, preserving string tension, fret spacing and overall feel. This allows players to transition seamlessly between this guitar and a standard electric without adjustment. The shorter 30" overall length and lightweight build make it ideal for travel, storage and quick setup, while the single-cutaway design and beveled neck joint provide comfortable access to upper frets. Whether you’re working through practice routines or laying down ideas on the go, the compact design supports consistent playability wherever you are.
Active Humbucker Delivers Focused High-Output Tone
An ESP-designed ALH-200B active humbucker powers the LTD EC-1 with a clear, high-output voice suited for modern rock and heavier styles. The active design provides tight low-end response, defined mids and articulate highs, helping riffs stay focused and leads cut through a mix. With straightforward volume and tone controls, players can quickly shape their sound without overcomplicating the signal path. Powered by a 9V battery, the pickup maintains consistent output and clarity across a range of playing dynamics and gain levels.
Mahogany Construction and Travel-Ready Hardware
The Traveler LTD EC-1 pairs a carved mahogany body and neck with an Indian laurel fingerboard and 22 jumbo frets, offering a balance of durability, sustain and smooth playability. Locking tuners enhance tuning stability and simplify string changes—an important consideration for players using the guitar in multiple environments. The hardware is built for reliability, while the included custom gig bag provides protection during transport. Together, these elements make the instrument well-suited for frequent movement between home, studio and travel scenarios.
Built for Players Who Need Portability Without Compromise
Combining full-scale feel, active electronics and a compact footprint, this guitar is designed for players who need a dependable instrument beyond the traditional setup. It suits musicians who travel frequently, practice in limited spaces or want a secondary guitar that still delivers familiar response and tone. With its lightweight design, stable hardware and focused voice, the Traveler Guitar LTD EC-1 provides a practical solution for maintaining your playing routine anywhere.
