Description

The Escape Mark III is a full-scale acoustic/electric travel guitar with advanced features for the discriminating player on-the-go. The Escape Mark III is a full 25 1/2" scale guitar with a headphone amp built in. The 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 26% shorter and 47% thinner than a typical, full-sized acoustic. The built-in headphone amplifier produces a crisp, clean signal through headphones for private practice sessions. A Shadow Nano Flex pickup under the saddle senses the vibrations of the strings and body for an acoustic-style sound without the bulk of a resonant body. The control plate includes volume, treble and bass controls, a built-in chromatic Tuner as well as a headphone output and aux-in for jamming along with your favorite tracks. A standard ¼" output jack allows you to plug into your favorite amp. Features include a Mahogany body with cutaway for high fret access, and a bolt-on Mahogany neck with black walnut fingerboard. It has standard tuning machines and uses standard acoustic strings, measures only 29 1/2" Long, and is ready to play right out of the gig bag. The escape mark III is a perfect solution for traveling acoustic players unwilling to compromise on scale length, and looking for a compact yet comfortable guitar. Fits easily in airline overhead compartments in the included deluxe gig bag.

    • Ultimate Practice Guitar - it will make you better
Color: SATIN FINISH
This is the ultimate practice guitar. At first, I overlooked this guitar because the neck didn't detach and fold like other travel guitars. Then I realized how perfect this design is and how it doesn't need that feature, which I now think is gimmicky. I'm shocked this isn't way more popular. 1) it's tiny. My wife and mother-in-law watched me open it and they had to each ask me twice "THAT's a guitar?!?!" You will most definitely have no traveling issues and certainly fit in a carry on, overhead, flight bag. in fact, it's the same length as my Baritone Ukulele (and hence fit in their cases). I carry it everywhere: in my bed, in my car, at the park, on a hike, in a boat, with a goat, in a box, with a fox, in a house, with a mouse, here and there, I carry it anywhere! I do so like this guitar! Thank you! Thank you, Traveler! 2) despite it's size, it is a 100% full sized 25.5" scale. This was very important for me because, as a beginner, I did not want to train on a short scale just to suffer when I picked up a full scale. Trust me, you want to get used to a full scale and then if you pick up a smaller guitar, it will be easy. It kind of makes me wonder, why aren't all solid body electric guitars this size?? Seriously, why do they need to be any bigger?? 3) it's a solid body. I like this because it's QUIET. If you want to get better at guitar, you have to practice a lot, but nobody wants to hear a noob practice on a dreadnought all day. Also, the solid body makes it smaller and more durable for traveling. 4) it's an "acoustic" style. This means it uses acoustic strings, which are thicker (including a wound G-string) and at a higher tension than electric strings. Read: harder to play. I liked this from a practice perspective. Again, I think it's important I get accustomed to acoustic strings, so when I play an electric, it's like child's play and a confidence booster. If you disagree with my theory here, well Traveler also makes electric (EG-1 and EC-1), and nylon classical, versions of this guitar, so the choice is yours. Note, it uses completely standard guitar strings, so you can replace them with whatever is your favorite. 5) it has a built in tuner. nobody ever talks about this, but I love built in tuners. One less thing to carry around - especially important when we're talking about travel guitars. The electric version EG-1 has one too, but not the EC-1. 6) it has a built in headphone amp. Sounds good unplugged, but if you want to jam a little harder by yourself, just plug headphones directly in. Of course, it has a standard amp output too. 7) some have expressed concern about the in-body tuners. I think they are fabulous and have great tuning stability. In fact, I think it's even better than headstock tuners that are prone to getting shifted when it brushes up against a wall, your body, or you have young curious kids who turn them when you're not looking. Why aren't all guitars headless these days?? The tuners are nicely protected in the body. I find there is ample space to fit your fingers to tune them and the holes do not get in my way, even when I'm playing fingerstyle. It's slightly awkward crossing your arms to pick a string and tune at the same time, but really not an issue. The actual tuners seem pretty standard, so I'm sure you can replace with one of your choice, and I noticed Traveler sells a locking tuners upgrade, but I don't think they need them. 8) I think the mahogany version looks amazing. The tales are true that if you are attracted to your guitar, you will want to pick it up and play more. Conclusion: This guitar will make you play more than any other guitar = will make you better. IMO, as a beginner, you should be less concerned about tone nuances and more concerned about getting your hours in. I would definitely consider the EG-1 or EC-1 electric versions in the future. Some minor criticisms: 1) now the sound sucks. But what do you expect with a solid body "acoustic"? You're not going to be gigging in front of a huge audience with this thing. The sound is solely created from a piezo pickup under the saddle. From what I've read, piezo pickups on normal acoustic guitars are one of the least desirable ways to record your instrument. So this is piezo without any acoustic sound to help out. It sounds weird plugged in (headphones or amp), fake sounding acoustic sound, and it's got some gain/sustain, which is weird for an "acoustic". But sound quality is not why you should be buying this. Again, if this turns you off, check out their humbucked electric versions, which I assume sound like normal electric guitars. 2) the top edge of the body is razor sharp and very uncomfortable on the forearm. Also note, the black "binding" I believe is just a strip of paint for looks. The back has a rounder edge, so they should really round the top for the next generation. 3) there's no pick guard, and it definitely needs it. I was very light on it in the beginning and it already has tiny scratch marks. I've seen this happen to others too. I made my own pick guard with clear packing tape, which works very well. I highly recommend everyone make a pick guard before they start playing. ... show more

    • Work if Art!

Review Image by Ali Mesghali Ali Mesghali
I'm a beginner/intermediate guitar player and wanted a low profile guitar for traveling. I was a bit skeptical and watched a lot of YouTube and read a lot of reviews and finally decided on this guitar. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised and 100% satisfied when I received it. For it's small size, it's a heavy instrument. But this is a solid body, beautiful work of art and engineering. It's not much of an acoustic guitar, but with the built-in tuner, electronics, and headphone jack, it makes a great electric sound. With the treble and base adjustments, and phase shifting, there's so much sounds to play with. The neck and the body are ascetically perfect and clean. I love to hold it in my hands, even if I'm not playing. And that's saying a lot. This is a beautiful instrument, very functional, and a lot of fun. If I had to complain, I would say it's a bit heavy, but that solid wood body is a great trade off. I'll take the extra weight and still give it five stars. Weather you're looking for a traveling guitar or just an enthusiasist, you need one of these. Highly recommend. And 100 percent real deal. ... show more

    • Top Quality portable
Color: SATIN FINISH
This is so well engineered. It's almost an art piece. I love the built in tuner. I am still trying to get an acoustic sound out of it that I like, but for rock guitar it's solid. Very impressive. It's so portable that it's the guitar I love to take around now vs my bulky acoustic.

    • The guitar was not working plugged to an amp.
Color: SATIN FINISH
It’s an electric travel guitar. That means it’s small and light weight, but also it can be plugged to an amp, just like an electric acoustic guitar. This one did not work plugged to an amp like Fishman Loudbox Mini. After short time there was a bang and then silent. I tested the amp with another guitar, and it worked fine. The amp is ok, but the travel guitar is broken. ... show more

    • Best Travel Acoustic. Great Sound
Color: SATIN FINISH
I am planning a trip and I have my guitar, as I will be playing for a family gathering outside. So, I need to travel on an airplane with it. I need portability to the outside venue and I need a good sound. After reading so many reviews, and looking at options for several hours, I finally decided on the Mark III. I received it yesterday. I have been playing it for several hours and I have to say, I love this guitar. If you plug into a decent amp, the sound is great. It does not have the full sound of my Fender. It's a solid body, and it's better than I expected. Also, it feels the same. With headphones, it is very quiet. I highly recommend the Mark III. I am also using the Donner Mini Guitar Amp for portability. ... show more

    • Exactly what I needed
Color: Black Satin
Nice neck and action, great feature set, accurate tuner. Nice that I can plug the phone into it and hear the backing track through the headphones. Fits easily in the overhead bin on the plane with no hassles. Literally practice anywhere.

    • Great guitar for my van travels and is fun and educational at home too. Pretty guitar!
Color: SATIN FINISH
This is a great guitar (my first travel electric). It plays nice. The body is big enough to rest my forearm on it. Its not neck-heavy, yet light and balanced. Only 4 stars on "thickness category" because the neck could be a little thinner but no complaints here. A sales point for me was that I could plug my phone into it and play Ultimate Guitar app, YouTube or whatever to play through the amp. The 3 dot tuner doesn't compare to a Snark (which clamps nicely on the stubby head). I coupled this with a Blackstar 3W amp. Everything fits nicely in my van. ... show more
