Traveler Guitar Travelcaster Deluxe

I purchased this guitar for a voyage to New Zealand. I hope to play a few gigs while I’m there but didn’t want to take my fender strat.
I received the guitar in a few days. The action wasn’t too good when I got it but a with a quick setup (had to adjust the truss rod and lower the strings) it was fine to play. Works best for me sitting down, takes a bit of getting used to cos you can’t place the palm of your hand on the non existent body, but it’s ok. The sound is very good, nice clean sound and takes overdrive pedals well. All in all a great travel guitar and a great compromise for anyone who wants to gig abroad or on vacation. At 186 euros (regular price = around 350 euros) it was a great deal!

I had already bought a couple of similar travel Harley Benton's that I completely modified by changing many of their components.

I bought this one because it looked like it was going to have better quality and indeed, the neck is more reliable being the feel and finish very nice, it feels good in the hand and is easy to play. The frets are smooth and without imperfections.

The electronics are correct although perhaps it tends to an excess of treble in its three pickups.

The original guitar does not stay in tune because of the vibrato, which requires further adjustment. Once it is done, it holds quite well.

I recommend a simple and inexpensive modification: change the potentiometer knobs and pickup covers for black ones, which improves the aesthetics of the product. You will only add about $10

It is a good product to use as a travel guitar, as defined by the brand ;-)
