TheBONE®  TheSTAGE B200
TheBONE® TheSTAGE B200

The exceptionally lightweight and compact B200 Stage was specially developed with the needs of the performing guitarist uppermost, particularly those who like to work with an external effects processor and who also demand the very best quality, comfort and tone from their instrument.

Manufactured  from a single piece of hard maple with a radiused rosewood fingerboard, the headless design places the tuning machines at the “opposite end” of the guitar where specially designed precision thumbscrews permit easy and accurate tuning. A fully adjustable custom bridge with individual saddles provide for setting individual string intonation and height.

The single powerful TC2 custom humbucker system keeps things simple whilst still providing single or twin coil switching to offer an amazing range of tones - from warm and fat - to crystal clear.

The B200 is already super light weight. Now unscrew two thumbscews, remove and fold the steel tube body frame, and you have perhaps the most compact yet serious guitar available anywhere. Pop it into its custom gig bag or even in your suitcase and you will smile - everytime!

Call this instrument a travel guitar if you will, but the B200 is a guitar to be proud of and one you can and will want to keep with you. At home, in the studio or on the go, no matter how you get there. 

Sheer pleasure.

Sorry, we have just sold the last of our B200 models. Our next B200 order is scheduled to be built and will be arriving in mid-late September.

Transaxe BELAIR - Limited Edition
Transaxe BELAIR - Limited Edition

Capturing the vibe from the earliest days of the electric guitar, this Limited Edition guitar has a subtle semi-transparent high-gloss “TV Yellow” finish, and wears a deeply-patterned tortoise pick guard. 

To continue with the period tone, this guitar is fitted with two custom Tonerider™ “Vintage 90 Soap Bar” pickups, and a three-position toggle switch. The tone is said to be "warm yet articulated, and has punch and sustain that is more than surprising".

Fitting its Limited Edition status, this guitar sports deluxe features ordinarily found on much more expensive instruments: solid Alder wood body, solid Canadian Maple neck topped with a solid Rosewood fingerboard, mother-of-pearl fret position dots, and a bridge that’s adjustable for individual string intonation and height.

Only 250 of the Voyage-Air Belair Limited Edition™ guitars are being produced worldwide, and each will have a special, sequential serial number and they will be instant collector’s items: the first full-size folding electric guitars from Voyage-Air!

They are expected to arrive here mid September and we have managed to secure just a very small number.

This model is due to arrive in the UK for the very first time in late September and we have managed to secure a small number. We expect to have them here at the end of September, possibly the first week of October.

Please let us know if you would like to be informed of availability or you can also place an order now for the last of our allocation.

RAMBLER CS Cherry
RAMBLER CS Cherry

British designed and hand built in England to suit the most demanding player, the top of the range Rambler CS (Custom Shop) takes its specification just that bit further...

A compound radius, 22 fret neck varies from a 10 inch radius at the nut to 16 inches at the body and provides the best of both worlds: comfort when chord fingering but with reliable low-action string bending for lead breaks. This is then complemented by a Fender roller nut to provide extra tuning stability and wide string weight tolerance for when your playing demands it. 

Add a pair of Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups, each with a coil split, to give you 5 way selection and you will see how the Rambler CS ensures your choice of tone, voice and presence is as wide as possible.

The handmade body is reassuringly solid and perfectly balanced. The guitar has superb sustain and character and with its familiar and full 25½ inch scale it belies its compact 32 inch length.

This really is a no compromise, high performance guitar built to satisfy the most demanding player who also expects to find familiarity and tradition but in a very convenient package.

A travel guitar? No not just that but rather this is firstly a great guitar and secondly a guitar that travels easily. With its perfect dimensions, perfect balance and perfect sound it is also a guitar that could just become your favourite!

Sorry, this Rambler CS has now been sold - congratulations Rob!

SoloEtte SONGBIRD Nylon Hybrid
SoloEtte SONGBIRD Nylon Hybrid

Here is the fantastic, all new, US made SoloEtte Songbird Hybrid guitar, a nylon strung instrument with a contemporary 46 mm nut and a gentle 16 inch radius along the fingerboard. A feature which actually continues along the entire body. 

This is certainly guitar with its very own unique look and stunning styling.

The Songbird offers its owners something quite different and it will appeal to the steel acoustic style player, offering a familiar format but with all the warmth and mellowness of a great nylon strung instrument. However, the pure Classical player will also find the Songbird a joy for those wishing to explore some new techniques and musical styles but which is also very familiar.

These guitars are hand made from a single piece of American Hard Rock Maple and benefit from the unique Wright Technologies condenser mic pickup system and an integrated headphone amplifier.  

And of course the Songbird also comes in the go anywhere, play anywhere and top quality package so well proven by the SoloEtte Classical model.

Reassuringly different.

EMERALD X7 Life Electro in Red
EMERALD X7 Life Electro in Red

The new X7 is the perfect balance between portability, playability and tone and it boasts an advanced carbon graphite and carbon fibre composite construction that means it can be used in difficult environments and survive where you would not dream of taking or risking a more “normal” guitar.

Compared to the consistently popular X5, the new X7 provide an alternative choice featuring a bigger body, in both width and depth, but with a reduced 24 inch scale length to help keep it very compact too.

The sound is big and rich for what is still a very small guitar and its light weight and compact design make it a great guitar for life on the road or off the road.

This model also features a "B Band” pick-up and preamp with built in tuner for convenience.

SoloEtte CLASSICAL Padauk
SoloEtte CLASSICAL Padauk

The American hand made SoloEtte Classical guitar is designed to provide the details and authenticity required by the practicing classical guitarist so you will find that there are exactly 19 frets, no side dot markers, a scale length of 25 ½ inches (647.7mm), a nut width of 52mm (2.05 inches) and the string spacing at the saddle is 57mm (2 ¼ inches) and the action comes set to the proper classical string height and is adjustable.

There is nothing small or hybrid about the neck. It is the full standard classical guitar neck and with the frame attached, the SoloEtte body simulates the full size Torres classic guitar shape in your lap and balances beautifully.

The medium size frame piece, which supports your right arm, is the edge outline of your guitar and you can rest the weight of your arm on it so your fingertips will hover over the strings right where you would expect. The smaller frame piece in the upper left bout tilts back and affects the depth of the guitar. This is a great feature that pushes the guitar forward a bit so it will lie in the proper plane and not lay back on your chest or point at the ceiling.

You do not need to use a guitar strap and the head does not swing down toward the floor every time you let go of the neck, like some other travel guitars and because the tuners are at the “other end”, this guitar is 5 inches shorter than “normal”. This reorientation of the tuners also helps to create balance and offers superior tuning access.

The unique pickup system uses stereo microphones which react to the movement of air caused by the string vibration inside the special hollow saddle which produces a rounder and fuller sound than more typical piezo style pickups. An integrated stereo pre-amp will drive headphones and a standard guitar amplifier or p.a. system, in either mono or stereo.

Finally, the lightweight, compact and practical SoloEtte is complemented by a custom made soft carry case to ensure great but practical protection when travelling.

Here we see the warmth and colour offered by the Indian Padauk tone wood which offers a more traditional look with its dark fingerboard and body. Again, the one piece design of the instrument neck and body allows you to fully appreciate the character and grain of this fabulous wood which will be finished superbly.

Shown here is the hard rock maple version which provides a truly contemporary look. This wood has a sleek and glassy feel to both neck and fingerboard and the one piece design allows the wood grain to be fully appreciated and it will be finished superbly.

TheWESTERN® Acoustic Style
TheWESTERN® Acoustic Style

TheBONE TheWESTERN will appeal to all those acoustic steel strung style players who want an authentic and top quality guitar that is so so easy to travel with, practice with and even perform with.

TheWESTERN is sure to amaze you with its clever Swiss engineering, unique design and great quality.

TheCLASSICAL®
TheCLASSICAL®

Classical but revolutionary!

Yes, TheBONE goes classical to bring you a guitar that offers all the well proven design objectives, concepts and advantages of the TheBONE philosophy but focussed this time on the classical guitar player - and it is a real beauty to boot.

With a familiar wide nut and flat rosewood fingerboard the guitar also features the Swiss maker's patented detachable and foldable steel tube "bodyclip" frame but this time it is adapted and modified to provide even greater comfort whilst suiting the classical guitarist's more upright playing position.

The clever headless design is perfectly balanced and features a hard rock maple body with a bolt on neck construction which offers a seemingly impossibly small overall length and weight when you are travelling.

With the convenience of an integrated headphone amplifier you can practice where and when you want.

We have little doubt that TheBONE TheCLASSICAL packs down to be the most compact and lightest full scale Classical style guitar available anywhere. With its frame re-attached it is also a pleasure to play and to own.

So, put it in with your luggage or carry it on your shoulder, this is a Classical guitar that can go with you anywhere and be ready to play at any time!

Comes complete with a compact, well made custom carry bag.

Songwriter Orchestra - VAOM06

The Voyage-Air VAOM-06 is a full-size acoustic guitar that folds in half, so it can fit into a special backpack case - small enough to qualify as carry-on luggage for all commercial airlines AND with plenty of space for your laptop too - if you wish to carry just one bag on-board!

This model is an OM style (Orchestra Model) full scale (25 ½ inch) acoustic guitar with a solid spruce top, mahogany back, sides and neck and an Indian rosewood fingerboard.

The carry bag is very clever too. Keep it small for just your guitar or zip attach the custom laptop bag section and this is the only bag you will need to carry on. Carry it or wear it on your back in either configuration - you choose.

And when you get where you are going simply fold back the neck, lock it down and you will only need to fine tune your guitar!

TheCRUISER® type S1
TheCRUISER® type S1

Whilst theCRUISER shares the same design principles and even some of the hardware seen on the existing B200 & B300 "Stage" models, theCruiser has in mind the need to satisfy the electric guitarist who seeks a more simple and perhaps more affordable instrument but one which still retains all the intelligent Swiss design features that make TheBONE guitars so easy to travel with.

This is a role in which theCruiser excels.

With its very modern headless design, removable and folding steel tubular frame and patented tuning system, this full scale guitar packs down to less than 27 inches in length and comes complete with an amazingly compact gig-bag.

TheCruiser has a bolt on neck/body construction and is made from hard rock maple with a Rosewood fretboard, 22 playable frets, a full 24.75 inch scale and a custom humbucker. For simplicity the Cruiser has a fixed bridge and saddle.

TheCruiser S1 builds on the strengths of the S model and adds an integrated headphone pre-amp which allows you to practice, in silence, anywhere and any time. 

Two knobs for volume and tone controls keep everything easy. 

Simply plug in your headphones and away you go in a world of your own. Alternatively, plug in to your amp or P.A. and perform.

What could be easier?

Sorry, we are now sold out of this model until new factory stock arrives mid September.

EMERALD X5 Life Electro in Black
EMERALD X5 Life Electro in Black

For many people the key features of a "travel" guitar are size and weight but for others it means a guitar that will survive and excel in adverse conditions ... water, heat, sand, dirt and rough handling. Enter the Emerald range which deals with both sets of demands brilliantly .....

The Emerald X5 is a compact but full scale guitar that allows you to play in the way you are used to so you don’t need to adjust your playing style whilst offering great tone and volume that defies its size.

As with all Emerald guitars you will benefit from the highest standard of craftsmanship and they have spared no expense in putting all the best hardware on it while still keeping it at an unbelievably low price.

But don’t just think of the X5 as a travel guitar because it really is so much more, in fact we would say that it is a great guitar that just happens to be small and incredibly tough and which has developed a well deserved reputation too.

This is the X5 with a B Band pick-up. Plug it in and amaze your audience with the power and range of tones from this black beauty.
