Although they were originally designed as a portable practice guitar, travel guitars have been used on stage by some professional performers.[1]
Examples
Examples of travel guitars include the following:
- Model: Backpacker.
- A very small guitar, shaped like a broom, 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.
