Traveler - Escape Mark III Mahogany

The myth has collapsed: a travel guitar can be full-bodied and full of character, and the Traveler Escape Mark III Mahogany is living proof. Its satin-finish alder body produces a tone far more generous than its dimensions would suggest. The strategic cutaway gives full access to all 22 frets - no more technical compromises when inspiration strikes in the treble.

Your fingers will recognise the maple neck with its 9.5" radius, and the rosewood fingerboard that naturally guides your playing. The closed action holds the tuning like a rock, even after a trip in the hold. But the real feat lies in its on-board system. The Shadow active preamp and its Nanoflex sensor capture every nuance, from delicate brushing to energetic attacks.

Turn the bass and treble knobs: you sculpt your acoustic balance with shocking precision. The phase switch eliminates stubborn feedback. The built-in chromatic tuner puts you instantly in the clear. Plug your headphones into the dedicated output: your hotel room becomes an isolation cube, the family room remains silent. The AUX input turns the instrument into a jam companion with your playlist.

Weighing in at just 1.5 kg, it fits in just about anywhere. On the train taking you to a festival, on a sailing boat on holiday, between two sessions in the studio. It waits patiently in its case, always ready to serve improvisation or methodical work. Powered by two AAA batteries, this Escape Mark III defends a simple philosophy: spatial constraint must never again rhyme with creative limitation.
