@alexmcginness ..Hey, if I was interested in learning to play the guitar, would you recommend those travel guitars? Most guitars, the neck seems to wide for my hands so I gave up years ago.
@vachief I bought this one because the airlines were getting touchy with taking a big bag with two axes in it as carryon. Its a decent guitar for the price. Around $500 US. The kneck on this one is fairly wide and is the same scale length as a stratocaster. Your best bet would be to go to a store that has one and give it a try. This one is the escape MK II buy Traveller. They make a bunch of models. Check out their site.
There seem to be some kind of attachment at the lower front of the guitar, is it some kind of 2nd pick up beside the build in one? Would you please explain what is it and what is it for?
@thetexaseagle yeah theres a roland GK-3 pickup on it. I use the built in piezo pickup for acoustic sounds and the GK running into a roland VG-99 for all the electric sounds. You dont hear the 99 in this video as this was an acoustic only promo for the agents. Im planning to put up a vid wuth the 99 and the elevtric guitar side of it.
Thanks for posting, you are indeed a pro! The guitar seem to be a special small size Traveler guitar. How is it compare to "regular" size acoustic guitars that you know?
@thetexaseagle i use to travel with a big box Takamine and a strat. The acoustic sound in this is usable but not as "acoustic" as the Takamine. The kneck is the same scale as a strat. Its a great road guitar as it only cost around $550 Canadian. The great thing is that its about the size of a big tennis racket so its no problem gettin it on a plane as carry on luggage.
@stodd32 Its a pretty good guitar. I bought it as I needed a guitar that could be taken as carry on and had a decent acoustic sound. I stuck a GK pickup on it to get the electric sounds out of the vg-99. It plays well but its a real pain to change the strings, so I put a set of Planet Waves locking tuners on it. That cut the time to change strings in half.
Hey, thanks for the kind words. I noticed on your chanel that youre usin the Hartke system. I remember the first time I heard that system, the guy at the store had a Chapman stick going tru it and I have never heard such fidelity!!! Amazing sound.
...Very well done...Alex. Looks like you've been at that awhile.
