Journey OC520 Classical - Travel / Solid Cedar and Pau Ferro
Journey say:
"The Overhead OC520 is an amazing collapsible acoustic classical travel guitar with solid cedar top and pau ferro layered back and sides, and features a sound port in the upper bout. It’s super ergonomic with the thicker Manzer© wedge and a smaller parlor sized body. The standard 52mm nut and 650mm scale, the Torres bracing, and a sound port make this guitar sound almost as loud as a standard classical guitar! Barre chords are easy, and the body shape makes for hours of playing without shoulder fatigue. It collapses to carry-on dims in our patented bag that has more than enough room for all your gear with amazing protection. Premium appointments make this guitar a great for classical guitarists who need a ultra-portable classical guitar that sounds and feels great to play!"
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 under-bridge transducer pickup system accurately amplifies the guitar and comes with all Overhead guitars.
'You should tune each string down at least 1 full tone prior to disassembly for all nylon string collapsible models to prolong string life.
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 & saddle help produce the the tone preferred by classical guitarists.
"Traditional sound-hole design with forward-shifted, classical Torres maximizes the resonance and volume of the soundboard.
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.
"The dual-action steel truss-rod enables fine tuning of relief to suit any playing style.
"Satin-finish low-c profile neck make this 650mm scale super comfortable to play.
