About Us
Journey Instruments Australia is the official franchise for Journey Instruments across Australia and New Zealand.
At Journey Instruments Australia, we bring high-performance travel guitars and accessories to musicians who don’t want to compromise on sound, comfort, or portability—no matter where they’re headed. Designed with traveling artists in mind, our instruments are built to be compact, durable, and sonically rich, whether you’re jamming on the road or performing on stage.
Each guitar and accessory is the result of extensive research, player feedback, and real-world testing. Our focus is on providing products that meet the practical demands of modern musicians: lightweight construction, quality materials, and clever design innovations that simplify life on the move.
Built for the Journey
Our collapsible travel guitars are crafted to achieve a rare balance: full-bodied tone, comfortable ergonomics, and compact travel dimensions. Thanks to a patented removable neck system and precision-engineered parts, setup takes just seconds. Whether you're fingerpicking around a campfire or plugged in for a gig, these guitars are ready to perform.
We use premium tonewoods and components—like Sitka spruce, African mahogany, Pau Ferro, Grover® tuners, and nano-coated strings—to ensure every note rings true. Each model is also equipped with our proprietary passive pickup system for clear, natural amplified sound, with upgrade options for those needing onboard controls.
Playability Without Compromise
Designed with player comfort in mind, the ergonomic wedge body reduces wrist and shoulder strain while enhancing the playing angle—perfect for long sessions or quick practice on the go. The neck shape and scale length are thoughtfully selected to suit a wide range of players, offering familiar feel and easy fretting across styles.
Innovative Design Meets Traditional Craftsmanship
What sets our guitars apart is the attention to both innovation and tone. Solid top (and solid back on select models) construction delivers warm, balanced sound, while traditional touches like bone nuts, ebony bridge pins, and high-ratio tuners bring a premium feel. And when it’s time to pack up, the compact travel case fits neatly in overhead bins—with room for your gear.
Travel-Ready Gear for Serious Players
Our Overhead™ travel case isn’t just a gig bag—it’s a compact, multi-functional travel solution. Designed to airline carry-on specs, it safely stores your guitar along with pedals, cables, a laptop or tablet, and other essentials. Whether you're touring, teaching, or simply escaping for a weekend session, it’s the ideal companion.
The Journey Starts Here
We’re proud to offer Journey Instruments in Australia—gear that’s purpose-built for creative freedom on the move. Once you play one of these guitars, it’s hard to imagine traveling with anything else.
