THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING A TRAVELER GUITAR ORIGINAL ESCAPE!
Traveler Guitar is the industry’s leading manufacturer of full-scale, travel-sized instruments. Most travel guitars sacrifice
playability for portability—but at Traveler Guitar, we believe players need both. Since 1992, we have designed full-scale
acoustic and electric travel guitars, offering a wide variety of solutions for players on the go.!
The Original Escape you hold in your hands represents a revolution in travel guitar design—an acoustic-electric guitar
that can be played anywhere. Its unique design makes it compact for travel and small enough to fit in an airline
overhead compartment, yet it retains a full scale neck so playing on it feels like playing on any standard sized acoustic
guitar neck.

OVERVIEW:
The Original Escape comes equipped with a piezo pickup and Shadowtm headphone amp with volume and tone controls.
It features an ergonomic body for comfortable playing with tuning machines mounted in the body. Its compact design
and lack of headstock allow it to have a 25.5” neck, yet only be 29” long. The guitar and bag are only 31” long and
easily fit in overhead airline compartments.
Since the in-body tuning system uses standard tuning machines mounted in the guitar’s body the Original Escape uses
standard acoustic guitar strings. The guitar has many standard features such as an adjustable truss rod, an acoustic
bridge and standard 1/4” output.
INCLUDED ACCESSORIES:
Your Original Escape guitar comes with a custom fit gig bag. Also included is a small bag with a truss rod adjustment
tool. If your guitar is factory packed it will be wrapped in a silver, temperature insulating mylar bag. This bag can be
discarded.
