Traveler Guitar LTD EC-1 Traveler Guitar

Lean. Mean. Traveler machine.
Guitar making pioneers ESP and Traveler Guitar have formed an unprecedented partnership in order to bring you The Traveler Guitar LTD EC-1, a full 24 ¾-inch scale electric travel guitar based on LTD’s best-selling EC series. With slick, LTD-inspired appointments and Traveler Guitar’s innovative engineering, this guitar is the perfect travel companion for ESP players.
“Because of my touring schedule and all the different artists I’m with, I’m always on the road. And even though you’re working and your playing everyday (that is your job), it’s really hard to keep up your chops during the day. Something like is is exactly what I needed, that can go in the tour bus in the little gig bag. And I can wake up and start warming up. You know all my drills and little exercises…”
– Bill Hudson of U.D.O and Dirkschneider

Two legendary designs. One groundbreaking partnership.

Why it’s awesome

The ESP-designed ALH-200B active humbucker provides powerful drive and articulate tone, while the visual appointments offer tons of vibe. The Traveler Guitar LTD EC-1 has a carved archtop Mahogany body, locking tuning machines, black anodized hardware, a beveled neck/ heel for easy access to high frets, an adjustable tune-o-matic style bridge, 6-ply binding, a bound neck, and LTD-style fingerboard inlays.
In-Body Tuning System™

Traveler’s proprietary In-Body Tuning System™ uses standard tuning machines relocated into the body, eliminating the need for a headstock. As a result, you’ll have the same full-scale playing experience you’re used to on an instrument that’s 24% shorter and 29% percent lighter than a comparable full-sized guitar.
V2 Headphone Amplifier

The Traveler Guitar V2 headphone amplifier is built in, allowing you to shred at full volume without waking the neighbors. Cycle through clean, boost, overdrive and distortion tones using the custom tap-pot and listen through headphones or plug into your favorite amp. The guitar is also equipped with an aux-in so you can connect your mobile device and play along with your favorite tracks.
