For musicians and travel enthusiasts alike, the Overhead™ acoustic travel guitar presents a revolutionary solution. Crafted with premium, sustainable woods and boasting an innovative design, this instrument ensures you no longer have to compromise on sound quality or playability while on the go. Whether you’re a frequent flyer, a backpacking adventurer, or simply seeking a more convenient guitar for everyday life, the Overhead™ acoustic travel guitar is engineered to impress.
Premium Craftsmanship with Sustainable Tonewoods
The foundation of any exceptional acoustic guitar lies in its materials, and the Overhead™ Travel Guitar Acoustic is no exception. Each instrument is meticulously hand-made using premium, sustainably sourced woods. We are committed to environmental responsibility, utilizing CITES compliant woods like North American Sitka Spruce, genuine African Mahogany, Ovangkol, and Pau Ferro Rosewood. These choices not only ensure a rich, resonant tone but also reflect our dedication to preserving our planet’s resources. Even the finer details are considered, with real Mahogany necks and supporting structures providing stability and warmth, and standard Ebony bridge pins enhancing the overall sonic character of these travel guitars.
Ergonomic Design for Unmatched Comfort
Comfort and playability are paramount, especially for musicians on the move. The Overhead™ acoustic travel guitars are designed with ergonomics at the forefront. Incorporating the Manzer© wedge design, these guitars angle perfectly against your body. This ingenious feature allows the natural weight of your fretting arm to assist in pressing down on the fretboard, significantly reducing wrist strain during extended playing sessions. Furthermore, the optimized strumming angle alleviates shoulder fatigue, making practice and performance more enjoyable, wherever your travels take you.
Optimal Scale Length for Volume and Playability
Striking the perfect balance between portability and performance, the Overhead™ acoustic travel guitar features a 24.5-inch (622 mm) scale length. This scale is comparable to the iconic Gibson Les Paul, offering a surprisingly full acoustic volume for its compact size. Importantly, it also results in a more comfortable playing experience with lower string tension, making fretting easier and reducing finger fatigue. The shallow C neck profile is designed to accommodate various hand sizes, and the standard 1.75-inch (44.5 mm) nut width provides ample string spacing for fingerstyle players. For those preferring a narrower feel, an optional 1 11/16 inch (43 mm) nut neck is available on select models.
Patented Removable Neck: Travel-Friendly Innovation
The truly groundbreaking feature of the Overhead™ travel guitar acoustic is its patented removable neck design. Our refined carbon fiber reinforced quick-assembly mechanism allows you to effortlessly assemble or disassemble the neck in under 20 seconds. Beyond portability, this innovative system also enables fine-tuning of the neck angle. Adapt your guitar to your playing style in moments – set it up for delicate fingerstyle playing and then quickly adjust the action for more aggressive strumming with a simple turn of the knob located discreetly on the back. This adaptability is a game-changer for guitarists who explore diverse musical genres and require varied string setups.
Premium Appointments for High-End Performance
Overhead™ collapsible acoustic travel guitars are equipped with premium appointments typically found on much higher-priced instruments. We utilize Grover 18:1 precision tuners or our own custom-designed 1:21 precision tuners, ensuring accurate and stable tuning. Authentic bone nuts and saddles contribute to the guitar’s warm and balanced tone, while ebony bridge pins and Elixir® coated phosphor bronze strings further enhance the traditional acoustic voice. These high-quality components work in harmony to deliver a superior playing experience.
Uncompromising Tone: Big Sound, Small Package
Tone was a central focus throughout the design process of every Overhead™ collapsible acoustic travel guitar. The selection of solid tonewoods, the Mahogany neck and bracing, even the choice of fretboard material and hardware – every element is carefully considered to contribute to a remarkably full and resonant tone, especially considering the guitar’s compact form factor. When amplified via our passive piezo pickup system, the Overhead™ acoustic travel guitar truly shines, projecting a sound that rivals full-sized guitars on stage.
Stage-Ready Electronics with JourneyTek™ Pickups
For amplified performance, Overhead™ collapsible travel guitars feature our exclusive upgradeable JourneyTek™ proprietary passive piezo pickups. Engineered for reliability and maintenance-free operation, these pickups utilize high-output, German-made piezo elements. They are balanced, battery-free, and designed to faithfully reproduce the natural, transparent tone of these exceptional travel guitars. For guitarists seeking greater tonal control, our installed EP001K pickups can be easily upgraded to our EPS001-15 model within minutes and without the need for any specialized tools.
The Ultimate Travel Case: Protection and Convenience
Completing the travel guitar experience is our Patented BG001 Overhead™ collapsible travel guitar case. This case is crafted from premium materials and precisely engineered to meet carry-on size restrictions (22*14*9 inches / 55.5*23*35.5 cm). Beyond guitar protection, the case offers ample space for pedals, cables, laptops, tablets, and other essential accessories, making it a comprehensive travel solution for the modern musician.
