EST. 1992 IN REDLANDS, CALIFORNIA Review: Se corresponde con lo anunciado - 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 Review: This is the answer to the question, how do I travel with a guitar? - I gave my son my TG Hot Rod Deluxe because his guitars have been in storage for a while. 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. ## Features - BUILT FOR TRAVEL: The EG-1 Custom is a portable and travel-friendly version of your favorite at-home guitar that you can take anywhere and everywhere you go.

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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Se corresponde con lo anunciado *by C***A on 1 June 2024* 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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the answer to the question, how do I travel with a guitar? *by B***D on 17 October 2022* I gave my son my TG Hot Rod Deluxe because his guitars have been in storage for a while.

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. Amazon 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 ## 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/286163602-6-string-eg-1-custom-gloss-black-right-eg1c-bkg](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/286163602-6-string-eg-1-custom-gloss-black-right-eg1c-bkg) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
