"SEXY LITTLE THING!!"
Sound: I was pleasantly suprised at the sound. It's kind of like an Ovation salad bowl guitar, only easier to hold. When played through an acoustic amp, it is very responsive to all types of playing. And through the headphones, it sounds HUGE. Feature: I have read people complain that the included headphones are cheesy. SO USE A GOOD SET!! THESE ARE JUST THROWN IN!! As far as features, the built in headphone amp is killer. It's nice to just throw on a pair of headphones and go. Quality: Extremely well built. There really isn't too much to go wrong. I know that this is sold as a "travel" guitar, but I have used it several times live, and it stands up. And since it weighs practically nothing, I can stand up too. It sounds really nice recorded with a little reverb, and maybe a touch of chorus. This thing stays in tune as well. And the included gig bag is excellent Value: Buy it. You'll love it. Worth every penny. Manufacturer Support: I have not needed support, except to find out what gauge strings were on it from the factory ( .010-.048; very comfortable ). The Wow Factor: Very sexy little guitar. Lot's of fun. Overall: Perfect. Get one.
Style of Music: Power Pop

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "Highly Recommended!"
Sound: THis guitar provides amazing sound for the price/portability. Will it compete with my Alvarez WY1? Of course not, but I don't think anyone expects that. I mostly play fingerstyle roots/blues, and the Travel Escape has great sound on the treble strings, but the bass is a bit muddy. I'm using the headset that came with the guitar, but I think the bass might sound stronger with a better set of headphones. Feature: I bought this product for one purpose: traveling. My business requires me to travel every week and I needed something that I can carry-on airplanes and play quietly in a hotel room. It meets both of those requirements. Other features I like: the 25 1/2 inch scale length, the 1 11/16 inch neck width (just like my Alvarez), and the feel of playing a full-size guitar. Quality: This thing feels indesructible. Rock solid and great feel. The pickup is also very good, at least for my untrained ears. Value: Everything I wanted for a great price. Also looked at the Yamaha Silent Guitar, which sounds very similar at nearly double the price. Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed to use their support line yet, so I'll give Traveler Guitar he benefit of doubt. The Wow Factor: Very cool. Everyone at the store where I bought it was swooning over it. Overall: This is one portable, great sounding, solidly constructed, cool looking axe. I would never buy it for a primary guitar (or even a starter guitar), but highly recommend it for the traveling businessman that needs to keep those calluses intact.
Style of Music: Roots/Blues

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
