Traveler Guitar User’s Guide

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.!

STRINGING AND TUNING

INSTALLING STRINGS:

All Traveler Guitars use standard guitar strings and the tuners operate just like the tuners on a standard guitar.

On our guitars, we recommend changing the strings three at a time—but be careful not to remove all the strings at
once, since some of the components are held in place by string tension. First remove the old E, A, and D strings,
and then install three new strings in their places. Repeat this process on the G, B, and high E strings.

On our basses, we recommend changing the strings two at a time—but be careful not to remove all the strings at
once, since some of the components are held in place by string tension. First remove the old E, and A strings, and
then install two new strings in their places. Repeat this process on the D, and G strings.

To change, thread the string through its hole in the endcap and wrap the string around the roller and through the
corresponding tuner hole. Leave approximately 2 ½ inches of slack in the string to allow 3 to 4 wraps on the
tuner. Bend the string to anchor it in place in order to hold the string after it is fed through the tuner. Over- or
under-wrapping the string around the tuner may cause tuning problems.

CLEANING, STORAGE,

AND GENERAL CARE

CLEANING:

Periodic cleaning and polishing will help protect your Traveler Guitar. Use a polish formulated for musical
instruments and apply it according to the polish directions—or, you can wipe the guitar down with a clean, damp
cloth followed quickly by a clean, dry cloth. To clean residue off the fingerboard, you can use extra-fine steel wool to
rub up and down the length of the fingerboard over the top of the frets. Never use furniture polish on the guitar, as
you may damage the finish.

STORAGE:

When not in use, your Traveler Guitar should be stored in its included gig bag to protect it from exposure to the
elements. Protect your guitar from extreme temperatures and changes in humidity. Never leave your Traveler Guitar
in a closed vehicle or any other location where the guitar will be exposed to extreme heat. If you live in a dry
climate, you may want to use a guitar humidifier.

ADJUSTMENTS:

We recommend leaving complicated operations (such as truss rod adjustments) to a trained guitar technician.
Improper truss rod adjustments may damage your guitar and void your warranty.

HANG STRAP:

The leather hang strap attached to your guitar’s endcap was designed to aid in-store display, but it can also be
used to hang your guitar from a wall mount or stand. Be sure your guitar is secure before walking away from it. If
you wish, you can remove the strap by clipping the plastic tie with wire cutters. Be careful not to scratch the finish
on the neck or endcap.
