Default My Ultimate travel guitar

Here is my 5th build - an electro-acoustic travel guitar for myself that fits into large luggage.
I got inspired by Yamaha Silent guitar and Traveller Guitar but I also wanted to push it a bit further (and use nice wood instead of plastic and metal)

Weight: 1.2 kg (2.6 lb)
Pickup: Piezzo
Build: Solid maple, Rosewood and Ebony
Neck: mahogany
Finish: French Polish
Fingerboard - MOP inlay on rosewood, got it from ebay
Worktime: 4 days
I am now also building attachanble arm/knee rest for better comfort - but it is not ready yet.





Complete image with armrest is in Post #6

Hope you enjoy it!
