The Overhead OC520 is an amazing collapsible acoustic classical travel guitar with solid cedar top and pau ferro layered back and sides. It features a sound port in the upper bout and an inbuilt JourneyTek™ under-bridge passive 3-piezo transducer pickup system. It’s super ergonomic with the thicker Manzer© wedge and a smaller parlour 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!
