Note: This is the left-handed version.The travel guitar for the serious guitarist! If you've been playing for a while, you know how important "feel" is to the playing experience. And since most travel guitars have a shorter scale, the "feel" is completely off... the frets are closer together, it's harder to form chords, and you've got to re-train yourself on how to play... only to re-train again once you get back home. But the Traveler Guitar Escape MK-II manages to avoid all of that nonsense. This sophisticated acoustic-electric travel guitar features a full-scale 25-1/2" neck, complete with an ergonomic overhead compartment-friendly design for a "best of both worlds" combination.One look at the Traveler Guitar Escape MK-II and you know this isn't your ordinary travel guitar. Play it acoustically and you'll get surprising sound from the alder body, maple neck, and ebonized rosewood fingerboard. But plug in a pair of headphones (there's a headphone preamp system onboard!) and listen to the Escape MK-II come to life. You'll also want to plug into your favorite amp or the PA system at the little coffeehouse open mic you happened upon. The high-quality custom L.R. Baggs Element-Hybrid pickup system sounds amazing. If you're after a travel guitar that has the serious player in mind, the Traveler Guitar Escape MK-II is it. You even get a deluxe gig bag with it.Traveler Guitar Escape MK-II Features at a Glance:This is the left-handed versionColor: NaturalNeck: MapleBody: AlderFingerboard: Ebonized RosewoodFrets: 22-mediumScale Length: 25-1/2"Fingerboard Inlays: PearloidNeck Width at Nut: 1-3/4"Body Width" 10-3/4"Length: 30"Weight: 4.5 lbs.Pickups: L.R.
