Examples

Examples of travel guitars include the following:

Strobel Guitars
Full scale Electric Travel Guitar that easily disassembles to fit in a briefcase or computer bag. Solid maple body with flamey maple top. Maple neck and Rosewood fretboard. Dual humbucking pickups, Tunomatic bridge, and locking tuners. The neck detaches from the body via four custom thumbwheels so they can be easily stowed for travel. Assembles in minutes for jamming, playing on stage or practicing.
C. F. Martin
A very small guitar with a body shaped like an elongated triangle, similar in shape to certain types of psaltery, and designed to be very portable and inexpensive while still being constructed of quality woods. The guitar is famous for having originally been designed by Robert McAnally before Martin took over the design, and was the first guitar to be taken into space. The guitar has also been taken up Mount Everest
