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!

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
