Electric Travel Guitars

An electric travel guitar is a portable electric guitar that is made specifically with a traveler in mind. They’re almost always smaller than even a short-scale guitar, and sometimes even fold up or can be taken apart to fit more easily in luggage.

If you travel frequently and want to keep a guitar with you, a travel guitar could absolutely be worth it! It’s easier to fly, drive, bike, and take the bus with a travel guitar vs. a standard sized guitar in a case. You might even prefer a small travel electric guitar for taking to and from weekly lessons!

A small electric guitar has different names depending on how small it is! Some guitars are just a little smaller than a standard guitar and are called short-scale guitars. Other guitars might be even smaller and called a mini electric guitar. There are smaller guitars still, ones that may even fold up to fit in a suitcase, called travel guitars.

Guitars with collapsible necks aren’t exactly new technology, but they’re not exactly mainstream either. Whether or not they’re “any good” depends on what you’re looking for in a guitar in terms of quality as well as the brand and construction. Quality will vary by brand, but some collapsible neck guitar sellers on Reverb.com, including Journey Instruments, boast strong reviews from buyers.
