Ergonomic Touring and Student Guitars
Big Tone in a Small Bodied Guitar
Our RoadTrip and Journey Junior non-collapsible guitars are engineered for maximum tone in a comfortable, compact package. These small-bodied ergonomic acoustic guitars feature our thicker wedged asymmetrical body design. This wedged design makes them an excellent choice for singer-songwriters, touring artists, or students looking for a smaller guitar that packs a punch in volume and tone relative to their size. Instead of reducing thickness on the top side of the guitar to create a wedged design, we increased the thickness at the bottom of the guitar side – the result is a louder, fuller-sounding thick-wedged guitar that’s ultra comfortable.
RoadTrip & Journey Junior Models – What’s the difference?
Both of these ergonomic guitar designs employ a thicker Manzer© Wedge design, feature a 24.5 inch (622 mm) scale, and come with scalloped forward shifted x-bracing. The RoadTrip™ series was designed more as a touring guitar for singer songwriters and is available in wood AND CARBON FIBER! It has a tone and volume similar to an all-solid Orchestra Model, but with a travel-sized 13.5-inch wide lower bout. It has solid top and back tone woods, premium tuners, and transparent passive pickups. The Journey Junior has a smaller lower bout at around 12 inches and comes with a solid top. Both guitars are equipped with a premium JourneyTek™ travel bag that can fit all your gear – including laptop, tablet, cables, pedals and stands. So whether you’re looking for a touring guitar for your next gig, or a student or beginner guitar with a case that can fit all your gear – look no further!
