There's nothing like a great tune strummed around a campfire – and there's nothing like the incredible, collapsible travel guitars from Austin's Journey Instruments.
Fully collapsible with a removable neck that tightens down easily, these guitars easily tuck into your Airstream's onboard storage, and assemble in the blink of an eye. You'll be strumming and picking along in no time on a collapsible guitar that performs better than many full-size acoustic guitars. Simply slot the detachable neck into the body of the guitar, tighten the bolt, and after a quick tune-up your Journey guitar is ready to go. With a full, vibrant sound and an easy-to-play action, the guitars from Journey Instruments are a step up in campfire jams.
Airstream Supply Company is proud to offer two guitars from Journey Instruments. Both are incredible instruments and suitable for any playing style. Stylish and durable, the Black Matte Carbon Travel Guitar is a full-toned guitar that will hang with any full-sized guitar, while the Solid Sitka Spruce "Puddle Jumper" is a great entry-level camping guitar with a solid sitka top and layered African mahogany sides and back.
