In early 2006 Traveler Guitar was busy at work updating the Escape line for 2007 when their engineer suggested that they make contact with the internationally recognized guitar builder John Carruthers for some design input. An immediate friendship between John and Traveler Guitar blossomed and the end result is a completely updated line of beautiful and sophisticated instruments which exemplify Traveler Guitar's ingenuity and John Carruthers' attention to detail and extraordinary eye for beauty.
For 15 years Traveler Guitar has set the standard for what portable instruments ought to look, feel and sound like; with the all new, fully-loaded Traveler Escape EG-1, they have raised the bar once again. Building upon the ideas of our already successful Escape line, we have created a new travel guitar for the electric purist.
The Escape EG-1 is Traveler Guitar's top of the line electric travel guitar complete with a built in headphone amplifier from Pocket Rock-It, a full-size humbucker, a full 25 1/2 inch scale, 22 jumbo frets, an array of classic colors and a top-of-the-line custom gig-bag from High Sierra. Pocket Rock-It's custom electronics provide classic clean and distortion tones, both through the headphones and through a traditional amplifier. If you're a serious traveler, and an even more serious electric guitar player, then the Escape EG-1 is the most sophisticated electric travel guitar you'll ever play.
