Additional Information

Designed for Travel

  • The Overhead™ travel guitar uses a patented collapsible neck system which allows for assembly/disassembly in a matter of seconds. [View Youtube Video]
  • 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.

Reviews

“It’s friggin awesome!”
- Janet J, OH – Received OC66M

"With composite construction and easily detachable neck, the Journey OF660 is truly a guitar you can take anywhere. ... impervious to the elements."
- Acoustic Guitar Magazine

"Assembling the guitar is simple. Pull back on the neck until you hear the “click,” and then tighten the inner screw by hand, from the back of the guitar."
- Acoustic Guitar

“Triple Threat Guitar” - Roger from Arizona

"Despite all the positive reviews, I still had a little bit of doubt, but it was completely unnessecary. This guitar is fantastic. It sounds better than guitars I have that are quite a bit larger than it which is pretty impressive. "
- Logan Johnston from Novato, CA
