This collapsible acoustic guitar is super easy to travel with
TL;DR: Take your guitar with you wherever you go with the Puddle Jumper Acoustic Travel Guitar, on sale as of March 25. Use code GUITAR50 at checkout to get it for $349.99.
When it comes time to jet off on vacation or take a quick trip to visit family, you may want to bring your guitar along. You have a few options: Cross your fingers and hope for the best, argue with airline personnel about your right to fit it in the overhead luggage compartment, purchase an extra seat just to bring it aboard, or just go a week without it.
That dilemma is exactly why Journey Instruments launched the Puddle Jumper Acoustic Travel Guitar. Just over 60 backers pledged over $29K on Kickstarter to help bring this game-changing guitar to life. The Puddle Jumper is collapsible and can fit under the seat in front of you on most major airlines. And yet, despite its small form factor and portability, it has great playability and tone.
The guitar itself has a solid spruce top with layered mahogany sides and back, and the guitar is meant to be assembled in less than 20 seconds with no tools. As a bonus, the custom travel backpack includes a laptop compartment, zippered compartments for books, headphones, guitar accessories, and more. It’s the ultimate carry-on for musicians.
It's regularly $399.99, but you can use the coupon code GUITAR50 at checkout to get the Puddle Jumper Acoustic for $349.99 for a limited time.
