Product Description

The Original Escape is a full 25 1/2 '''' scale acoustic/electric travel guitar with a headphone amp built in. We take standard tuning machines and move them into the body to create a guitar that has a full-scale neck, yet is substantially shorter than full size acoustics. The lack of a headstock and a small, ergonomic body allow the guitar to be 24% lighter and 28% shorter than a full size acoustic, all while keeping your fingers happy with its standard sized neck. When you need to privately practice, the built in Shadow headphone amplifier will give you a crisp, clean signal through headphones without needing any extra gear. An under the saddle piezo pickup senses the vibrations of the strings and body for an acoustic style sound without needing a resonant body. The jack plate doubles as either a headphone output or as a standard 1/4 '''' output jack so you can plug into your favorite amp. Features include an alder body, with a bolt-on maple neck with rosewood fingerboard. It has standard tuning machines and uses standard acoustic steel strings, is only 29'''' long and is ready to play right out of the gig bag. A perfect solution for traveling acoustic players unwilling to compromise on scale length, and looking for a compact yet comfortable guitar. The Original Escape fits easily in airline overhead compartments in the included Deluxe Gig Bag. ''
