Free delivery and returns on eligible orders. Review: Dead on arrival - Arrived next day and looked great. I put some batteries in and the headphone jack worked. The effects and amplifier to an admiral job through the headphones. The tuner wouldn't turn on so I contacted tech support who told me they have to replace it. The replacement will take a week or two. I guess once they have your money there's no rush. I can see another review had QC issues with two of these so it looks like they're hit or miss. Shame because the guitar is nice to play and sounds fantastic **Update 12/7 - replacement arrived and was a completely different guitar. One of the basic models which retails for around half of what this does. desertcart won't replace an item more than once so I'm having to return for a refund. I won't be trying a third time on this Review: Me parece una maravilla, yo tengo otras guitarras tanto acústicas como eléctricas y desde que tengo esta le dedico más tiempo que a ninguna, suena muy bien, estoy aprendiendo lamento que mi opinión no sea más técnica ## Features - Full 24 3/4-inch scale electric travel guitar - Built-in headphone amp w/ clean, boost, overdrive, and distortion - Aux-in for jamming with your music - Built-in E-tuner on pickup ring - Deluxe Gig Bag included ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07K9M5FG9 | | Back Material Type | Alder Wood | | Best Sellers Rank | 100,119 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 301 in Solid Body Electric Guitars | | Body Material Type | Alder | | Brand Name | TRAVELER GUITAR | | Colour | Gloss Black | | Connector Type | 1/4 inch (6.35mm), 1/8 inch (3.5mm) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (53) | | Fretboard Material Type | Walnut Wood | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00851885008007 | | Guitar Bridge System | Tune-O-Matic | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | H | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Included Components | With Bag | | Instrument | Electric Guitar | | Item Dimensions | 72.4 x 26.7 x 4.1 centimetres | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 72.4L x 26.7W x 4.1H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Guitar | | Item Weight | 4.81 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Traveler Guitar | | Manufacturer Part Number | EG1C BKG | | Material Type | Alder Wood Walnut Wood | | Model Name | EG-1 Custom | | Model Number | EG1C BKG | | Neck Material Type | Mahogany | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Product Warranty | Limited lifetime. | | Scale Length | 24.75 | | Size | Compact | | String Material Type | Nickel | | Top Material Type | Alder Wood | | UPC | 851885008007 | ## Product Details - **Back material type:** Alder Wood - **Body material:** Alder - **Brand:** TRAVELER GUITAR - **Colour:** Gloss Black - **Fretboard material type:** Walnut Wood - **Guitar pick-up configuration:** H - **Hand orientation:** Right - **Neck material type:** Mahogany - **String material type:** Nickel - **Top material type:** Alder Wood ## Images ![EG-1 Custom - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NPyYVmVSL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: what's the difference between this and the escape mark 3?** A: The EC is a full electric designed to play/sound more like a Les Paul type guitar. The have electronics with some basic effect. The Escape mark 3 is an acoustic/electric that is designed to play more like a Martin or Taylor acoustic. It has no effects but the output is much purer (in my opinion) than the EC series. Love the Escape Mark 3 - bought a second one recently.. **Q: What hard case does this use?** A: I found one in my local music shop that was for a bass Uke or something similar **Q: How long is the warranty? For the eg costum** A: 1year **Q: Is it allowed as a carry on by airlines?** A: It probably won’t fit in the “box” airlines allow. Main thing deterring me from trying that is there isn’t a hard case. I’d try gate checking a hard case instrument. Doesn’t hold tune super well anyway. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Dead on arrival *by M***. on 5 July 2022* Arrived next day and looked great.

But I’m still traveling a lot by motorcycle and plane, so I used my kind gift as an excuse to get myself a new tool. This is amazing. More than a traveler guitar, this is an excellent guitar in every way. It feels great, has a fantastic sound, and has exceptional build quality. I like the onboard amp and tuner. But it really shines when I plug it into an amp. I love my Strat Am Pro 2, but this is a close second as my favorite guitar. It might even get more play because I like to play around the house and outside, and I don’t want to risk my Strat. One thing I would like: soft edges. This follows the same design as a Les Paul, with hard edges on the body and fretboard. I like the contoured edges of a Strat. It is more comfortable and easier to reach the upper frets. Regardless, this plays so well that I will just have to adapt. This will get a lot of play. Highly recommended. ## Frequently Bought Together - Traveler Guitar Electric Guitar 6 String EG-1 Custom (Gloss Black), Right, (EG1C BKG) - Positive Grid Spark GO 5W Ultra-Portable Smart Guitar Amp, Headphone Amp & Bluetooth Speaker with Smart App for Electric Guitar, Acoustic or Bass --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/120754044-eg-1-custom](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/120754044-eg-1-custom) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
