The Overhead™ black matte carbon crossover classical travel guitar collapses to carry-on size of 22*14*9 inches! It assembles in 20 seconds with our patented detachable neck system, and our patented soundboard technology and all-carbon construction create a durable instrument with massive tone.

A full 25.5 inch (650mm) scale, a versatile 1 7/8″ nut width, best-in-class components, and a wedged ergonomic design make this the most enjoyable guitar you’ll ever play! Tri-piezo pickup and a full-featured TSA compliant carry-on backpack included.

Designed for Travel

  • The Overhead™ travel guitar uses a patented collapsible neck system which allows for assembly/disassembly in a matter of seconds. 
  • After packing in its travel backpack the Overhead travel guitar can be carried-on to most major airlines, easily fitting in the overhead bin compartment.
  • Travel backpack includes a TSA compliant laptop tablet fold-out panel which can be scanned by airport security without having to separately remove laptop.
  • Proprietary UPGRADEABLE under-bridge transducer pickup system accurately amplifies the guitar and comes with all Overhead guitars.

Full Tone in a Travel Body

  • The wedge design gives a lower shoulder/bout depth that’s deeper than a dreadnought, allowing the smaller body size to deliver great volume and booming bass.
  • Bone nut and saddle with Savarez standard tension strings, gives the guitar an amazingly traditional tone.
  • Offset sound-hole design maximizes the resonance and volume of the soundboard and patented bracing and layup structure produce a spectacular tone for such a compact instrument.

Comfortable to Play

  • The wedge design angles the guitar into your body which places the guitar in a comfortable position for fingerboard access and viewing.
  • Matte-finish low-c profile neck with 1 7/8 nut, make this 650 mm scale nylon string super comfortable to play.
  • Scoop-away™ design gives full access to all 17  frets, yet maximizes inner air volume of the instrument for maximum acoustical volume.
