Journey Instruments OF6601M Overhead Travel Acoustic/Electric Guitar – Matte Orange Carbon Fiber
Overview
The Journey Instruments OF6601M Overhead Travel Guitar in a striking Matte Orange finish is engineered for the musician who refuses to compromise on tone, playability, or portability. Built almost entirely from carbon fiber, this instrument is virtually immune to temperature and humidity changes, making it the ultimate companion for touring, backpacking, or flying to your next gig. Its patented collapsible neck system allows for assembly and disassembly in just 20 seconds, packing down to a carry-on size of 22 x 14 x 9 inches that fits easily in most overhead bins. Despite its compact 00-style body, the innovative Wedge™ design and offset soundhole deliver surprising volume, booming bass, and a rich, resonant tone that rivals full-sized guitars. A JourneyTek™ tri-piezo pickup system is included for accurate, stage-ready amplification, along with a TSA-compliant travel backpack.
Why Choose the Journey OF6601M?
-
Designed for Travel: The patented detachable neck system assembles in seconds, and the included TSA-compliant backpack features a fold-out laptop/tablet panel for easy airport security scanning.
-
Full Tone in a Travel Body: The Wedge™ design has a lower bout depth deeper than a dreadnought, producing remarkable volume and bass response. Premium components like a bone nut, compensated bone saddle, and ebony bridge pins deliver the rich acoustic tone players demand.
-
Comfortable to Play: The ergonomic Wedge design and beveled back angle the guitar comfortably against your body. The low-C profile neck with a 24.5-inch scale and a versatile 1 ¾-inch nut width feels natural and fast. The Scoop-away™ cutaway provides full access to all 20 frets while maximizing inner air volume.
-
Stage-Ready Electronics: The JourneyTek™ under-saddle passive tri-piezo transducer pickup accurately amplifies the guitar’s natural acoustic tone for any PA system or amp.
-
All-Carbon Fiber Construction: The top, back, sides, neck, and fingerboard are all carbon fiber, creating an incredibly durable instrument resistant to cracking and warping from environmental changes.
