Overview
The Journey Instruments Overhead OF660W1 is a stunning, limited-edition acoustic/electric travel guitar that redefines what a portable instrument can be. Featuring a striking high-gloss Pearl White carbon fiber top, this guitar combines cutting-edge materials with a patented collapsible neck system. It assembles and disassembles in just 20 seconds, packing down into a TSA-compliant carry-on backpack that fits easily in most major airlines' overhead bins. Whether you are a touring professional, a frequent flyer, or a songwriter on the go, the OF660W1 delivers full-sized acoustic tone, unbeatable durability, and stage-ready electronics in a package you can take anywhere.
Why Choose the Journey OF660W1?
Designed for the Road
The patented collapsible neck system features stainless steel load-bearing components, a push-button release latch, and a large adjustment knob for quick setup. The included travel backpack is made from extra-durable ballistic nylon and features a TSA-compliant 14-inch fold-out laptop/tablet panel for easy airport security checks, padded velour-lined compartments, and hideaway backpack straps.
Full Tone in a Compact Body
Don't let the travel-friendly size fool you. The proprietary Wedge™ design gives the guitar a lower bout depth that is deeper than a dreadnought, allowing the smaller 00-style body to deliver remarkable volume and booming bass. The mid-position offset soundhole maximizes soundboard resonance, while the proprietary carbon fiber bracing and layup structure produce a spectacular, rich tone. A bone nut, compensated bone saddle, and ebony bridge pins ensure the premium acoustic tone players demand.
Uncompromising Playability
The ergonomic Wedge design angles the guitar comfortably into your body, and the beveled soundboard armrest and beveled back provide maximum comfort during long practice sessions. The satin-finish low-C profile neck with a 24.5-inch scale length feels incredibly natural. The Scoop-away™ cutaway gives you full access to all 20 frets while maximizing the instrument's inner air volume.
Stage-Ready Electronics
The OF660W1 comes equipped with a JourneyTek™ under-bridge passive 3-piezo transducer pickup system. This proprietary electronics system accurately amplifies the guitar's natural acoustic tone, delivering clear, warm, and dynamic sound for any PA system or acoustic amp.
Stunning Pearl Top Aesthetics
The limited-edition Pearl White high-gloss top over unidirectional carbon fiber is paired with mother-of-pearl logo and position markings, making this guitar as visually striking as it is sonically impressive.
