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.

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.

Within the innovative MKII Escape range is this superior acoustic steel style design, featuring a solid body that delivers incredible tones courtesy of the active on-board and high quality LR Baggs electronics and EQ that will directly drive headphones or a performance amplifier or P.A.

With very contemporary and modern looks the Escape still retains a familiar and very pleasing traditional flavour whilst its lightweight and surprisingly compact size makes it hard to believe that this is indeed a full scale, high quality and very desirable instrument.

Featuring all of the features and high quality of the right handed version, this "lefty" also owes its style to the work of guitar builder John Carruthers and improves greatly upon the ergonomics of the original 2003 Escape and makes this design feel much more like a traditional guitar than before.

The completely updated body boasts a custom Hybrid-Element pickup system from L.R. Baggs, with on-board electronics and a 2-band EQ, a built in headphone amplifier and of course has the ability to be plugged directly into a traditional amplifier for live applications.

This top end acoustic style electric guitar comes with a road worthy gig-bag from High Sierra making the Escape MK-II the very best solution for steel acoustic players on the go.

We always try to keep one of these lovely guitars in stock but we may sometimes be awaiting a delivery.

Introduced in 2003, the original Traveler Escape is now a well proven guitar that was designed with the acoustic player in mind. Built with a mahogany satin stained alder body and a maple bolt on neck featuring a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard and full 25 1/2 inch scale. 

This Escape is simply perfect when travelling but it is also supremely comfortable and playable in any situation. Yes, even on stage.

The Escape is only 29 inches long and weighs barely four pounds and is equipped with a custom Shadow pickup, headphone amp and two channel EQ so you can also plug headphones directly into the body for private practice. 

Whether plugged into a PA, an acoustic amplifier or just headphones you will find that the Original Escape has a most remarkable range and tone and it is perfectly at home, alone in a hotel room or on stage, with the band.

This guitar will come with a custom tailored gig-bag and headphones.

Sorry, we are again fully sold out of this model. 

Unfortunately we have not been given a reliable delivery date so we prefer not to accept any further orders for this model until we know when they will now arrive.

In the mean time and if your need is urgent we can happily recommend the Traveler Escape MKII which is a superb guitar, but a little more expensive of course. This model is still available from stock.

The Traveler Ultra Light is another, even smaller, but less expensive alternative which can be teamed up with an external headphone amplifier.  

The Pro Series is the final development of the original Traveler Guitar, fully loaded and with a full 24 3/4 inch scale. The design of the Pro Series has stood the test of time and it is a unique and completely reliable companion for the travelling guitarist. Certainly it is one of the smallest, full-scale travel guitars on the market and by far the most versatile.

Featuring a detachable lap-rest and private listening Stethophone which allows players to hear themselves using the same physics as a doctor's stethoscope, which also means it's battery free, a major bonus in some parts of the world!

This guitar boasts both an acoustic style piezo and a custom electric single coil pick-up so the Pro Series can be any guitar you want it to be, pleasing to the electric purist and the more traditional acoustic player too. A real Jekyll and Hyde of a guitar one could say!

It weighs less than four pounds and is a mere 28 inches in length and packs up to just over 5 inches wide when the lap rest is rotated into the stowed position, ready to travel. 

Carry it in its great tailored custom gig-bag or don't bother and pop it in your suitcase. You will be amazed that a top quality guitar can be so compact and versatile and it makes a perfect travlling companion.

Witness evolution in action for yourself. With its original concept and looks the new style Aria Sinsonido AS-100S is suitable to use as both a travel guitar, for performance and even for late night practice through headphones (Sinsonido is the Spanish word for silence).

The mahogany body and removable frame provides a comfortable playability for guitarists. Not only that but you can use this guitar wherever and whenever you like, any time of the day or night.

The special stereo condenser microphone pick-up, made by Wright Guitar Technology in the U.S. produces remarkable tones when compared to most commonly used piezo units and the guitar also features a built-in stereo preamp for headphones.

The secret of the natural acoustic sound lies in the innovative pick-up with its two internal condenser microphones. These sense the string vibrations in stereo and thus are able to produce the more natural, 3-dimensional sounds of a real acoustic guitar rather than a flat-sounding sound associated with many piezo pick-ups. 

The 9V battery operated preamp amplifies the stereo signal without affecting the sound of the pick up and produces a clean, clear signal out to headphones or amplifier.

The action is easily adjusted via two thumbwheels built into the bridge assembly.

The AS100S is available in both mahogany and see through black finishes and comes with a good quality gig-bag and folding headphones.
