Traveler-E-Steel : Surprising Fun, Super Handy

6 years ago

I wanted a handy guitar to hang in in my living room for decoration and quick playing when I have an idea for a new song. The plain acoustic sound of the thing is good enough for that, but probably not enough for fireside camping shows. The surprise was when I plugged it in. The piezo pickup was much better than I expected. I was able to make it sound like a much bigger instrument. And then I stumbled onto a great new comedy bit when I played it through a little Peavey Vypyr modeling amp with some Marshall-type distortion. The fun was the image of me rocking out with this peanut-bodied baby guitar while playing Heart's 'Barracuda.' My buddies were in hysterics. Really, This little box sounds as good as much more expensive 'travelers.'
