Traveler Ultra-Light Electric Guitar - Gear Review (AND MODS!) 

Me too. I work 12 hours and on nights i usually get a couple hours of downtime

That's one of the main reasons I also got it, was to go practice on my work lunch breaks when needed. Super handy.

I agree. The original sounds more crisp.

ElectricBikeReview.com it's from part of the song Powerslave - Iron Maiden

Are the machine heads a standard size? Would fender locking machine heads work with this?

@@brendangeaney No, they were low profile, so shorter as regular size heads would stick above the wood too much....so mine are pretty much level with the wood. Not sure about the Fender heads, but just get the dimensions of the heads and measure the Traveler. If find some time, I will post the measurements and specs for my heads.

@@bacontrees Cool, good to know, thanks for the reply, I'll look into it, if you get a chance the measurements would be great. Haven't had to doo it yet but I've heard the strings are really quite hard to change, this mo would make things a lot easier. Cheers

Idk man. Depends how good your hearing is. I have Asperger's I can definitely tells the difference this sounds cheap and has to be saved with effects. It reminds me of my old encore just horrid. The other thing between a good and cheap guitar is the frets a cheap axe will have defects and buzzing that your action has nothing to do with and have to file out to fix my ibanez iceman STM 1. But my Was perfect from the get go. And sings. Where as my encore sounds like a dying cat crashing in to a trash can. That the difference between a guitar that costs 120 and one that costs 700

I agree no difference whatsoever, those who say there is a difference are fooling themselves

I think it’s sound Is cheap. But I agree that many people have wonderful and many guitars and do not play well. I would rather pay that amount of money in music courses, books, teachers and sweat the process rather than have a bunch of beautiful guitars

Hope it works out well. They have put out lots of new models and stuff since I made this video.

Never thought of this before. I just tried it, and I would say it is slightly different since well... one has acoustic strings vs electric strings... so yeah the feel and tonality will be a bit different but not terribly since they are small.

The de-tuning on bends comes from all that length between the tuners and the nut. I've found that if I bend then tune then bend and retune it pretty much stays in tune. So it's about getting any slack out of the string run. I love mine. I pick it up all the time so I'm getting more playing time in and therefore improving. I'm only 71 so there's still room for growth.

it was some time ago, but I think I did looking at it again.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. You're right. It's a pretty good guitar right out of the box. The tuners aren't that good. Also, I read somewhere tuning issues stem partly from the rollers on the end. They took them off and lubricated them with graphite or something.

If you look at the guitar,the machine heads are in the body of the guitar,not at the end of the neck like most guitars.

Howard Cunniffe tuning is still important my man

Try eBay, that’s where I got mine.

I have a video review of the acoustic as well that you can check out. It pretty much speaks for itself in comparison.

The pickup I put in, was a Seymour Duncan SHR-1, their website has the schematic (wiring diagram) for the pickup. I would suspect that if you wanna do splitting though you will need to install some type of switch somewhere as well? so that's a project as well. The neck I would say is like a standard Gibson, it's 24.75 scale length with a 15.75 inch radius, which is what I associate Gibson Les Pauls with minus the radius which on Pauls are 12.

Yes I would do something like that with a push pull pot. Thank you for your response RG. it is very helpful.Have a great Day. c];-)

@@ALtheDoctorWho Hi, do you succeed to do the mod? Install switch for split coils. I am interested to do the same. Can you please describe how do you did it? Thanks

Yes the metal body attachment piece easily pops out and in again.

Don't fight it. Raise it more and make a lap steel out of it. It doesn't sound like it was to intone anyway.

@@dale1956ties fuck it remove three strings while your at it and just make a full on dulcimer. 😂😂 But nah it's a good little thing tbh. Make a great door stop.

I certainly don't have many problems with it staying in tune while playing. There was maybe a slight improvement in tuning stability, but I never did have problems with it staying in tune when I first got it.

You just need to ajjust them

get the European stuff, that's the good SHTUFF! Watch out for the licorice root, some people it can mess with their heart rhythm.

Steinberger is not simply a travel guitar,its the ultimate guitar.

Close... Jacob's Ladder

No, and no and no. It doesn’t! All you have to do is, as with any guitar, string it properly. With new strings Put a bend stretch after each knob turn and tune again. Mine never goes out of tune, even after heavy bend solos.

Nope. Mine goes out of tune less than my regular guitars.

Mine stays in tune just fine.

sorrento ingraham it did. However, these machine heads cut the string in the post, so you really have to make sure you got your string on right. If you don't then your string will be cut and possibly ruined (too short).

Christophe Petchanatz It just dawned on me after reading this again and looking at the instrument. I would have to think it's for playing while you're sitting... 🎸

Yes you can.

It is an SHR-1

It is also two pounds lighter then the Stein.
