Review: Better for travel than the Martin 000 - Warm tone, compact size, indestructible material - We tested out small travel guitars by Martin and Gibson in a range of high end wood types, and nothing came close to the tone and playability for such a compact size. Assembled, this is larger than the smallest size travel guitar, thus generating higher quality sound, but folded it is even more compact, making it perfect for air travel overhead bins, camping trips and space limited road trips. We were skeptical that the carbon fiber would sound as warm as our favorite full size Martins, but this came close, just at a quieter volume. It definitely sounded less banjo-ish than the 000 or taylor baby. Add in a tiny pocket amp like the Blackstar Fly, and you get the bonus of both electric and acoustic options while on the road! Absolutely perfect for a travel. Review: Surprisingly better than expected lol - I’ve been a full time musician since 2014 and so between 240-300 events per year. Naturally, I own many guitars that I use for the stage, studio and other situations, but I wanted to try this travel guitar for days off, vacations and even sitting in with friends at their events from time to time. I also wanted to be able to ride my motorcycle to some smaller events where a PA is already available and I can just plug in and play. I honestly planned to try it out and either send it back or sell it if I didn’t approve, but I’m blown away at the quality and especially the sound this thing provides! It’s also setup nicely and stays in tune well. Looks like I’m keeping it. Good thing I’m not married anymore. One more guitar! ## Features - FINALLY A FULL SIZE GUITAR THAT'S EASY TO TAKE WITH YOU - Our mini travel folding guitar with patented collapsible neck system allows you to quickly assemble and disassemble it in around 20 seconds, so you can carry it with you at all times. - STURDY CARBON FIBER FOR PIECE OF MIND - This collapsible acoustic guitar has quality pre-impregnated carbon fiber fabrics on all core components making it stable and durable, so you can enjoy transfer of energy and significantly longer sustain.

One more guitar! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty cool but needs some improvements *by C***Y on October 1, 2024* I bought my Journey carbon fiber travel guitar specifically for a working trip to Indonesia. I'm there now and I have been enjoying sitting by the hotel pool and picking, not having to worry about the unbelievable humidity or accidentally getting it wet--I even played it while sitting IN the pool yesterday and it didn't even need a re-tune. Sounded exactly the same. Loving the carbon fiber! If I love it so much, why only 3 stars? Read on! I dropped one star because of the carry case. I dropped another star due to sound/tone. I stowed the guitar in the overhead compartments on airplanes for about 23 hours, so the claim of it being carry-on is 100% true. Unfortunately, the last 2 hour leg of the trip required that it be stowed with the rest of the luggage under the plane and my guitar suffered some damage. Good news is that the guitar mostly survived the experience and I think that's a testament to the strength of the carbon fiber construction. I say 'mostly survived' because the take-down button was found rattling around inside the case when I opened it up. It looks like a small piece broke off. It's currently snapped back into place, but with one of the legs broken, I don't think it's gonna stay put for long. My complaint about the carry case is that it could really benefit from some closed cell foam padding. The Indonesian airport luggage handlers tossed it, and there is now a small chip on the fretboard, right in the bottom corner. It doesn't affect play at all, but when you spend $1500 on a guitar, you want it to stay looking nice, and I've only owned this one for a month. Just a little bit of foam padding may have prevented this from happening.....in fact, upgrading the carry case to a Pelican style hard case would be fantastic (and if it's ever available, I'll buy one!) My complaint about tone is more of a personal opinion. To my ear, the #6 and #5 strings are full and almost as fat as my old Washburn and resonate better than my Ovation shallow body. Strings #4 and #3 are more subdued and I have to pick harder to get them to resonate equally. They're probably about equal to the Ovation. High notes.....very subdued. Mellow but still fairly bright, but much much harder to hear over the boom of lower strings. They play well, no buzzing but its almost like 6 & 5 are on volume 10, 4 & 3 are on volume 6 and 1 & 2 are underwater. I've been playing for about 30 years and this is the first guitar I've played that sounds like this. Something nice about the guitar is that it comes with 2 bridges. High and low. Journey recommends using the high if you're a heavy strummer and the low for a super low action. I'm a picker and mostly using the low, but swapping out the bridge only takes a few seconds (and a re-tune) and I make sure to keep the high one in the case if the jam session gets more lively. The neck is smooth, straight and the fret edges feel great. I haven't felt the need to file or polish any edges at all. Overall, I'm happy with my Journey travel guitar but there are a few things that I would change if I could. I travel fairly often, and this instrument will probably be with me wherever I go.....but it will be in either a better case or I'll install some rubber impact protection before I take it out again. I'm going to experiment with different gauge strings to see if I can get some more volume out of the high strings. The guitar comes equipped with Light.....gonna try mediums. Edited to add: last night I had a nice jam session at a bar. When the guitar is plugged into an amplifier, it sounds every bit as good as I would expect it to so I’m giving it 4 stars now. ## Frequently Bought Together - Journey Instruments Carbon Fiber Travel Guitar – OF660M Traveling Acoustic Guitar with Collapsible Patented System – Portable Backpack Case (Matte Black) - Journey Instruments Passport Guitar Headphone Amplifier – HA01 Premium Guitar Amplifier with USB Port – Wireless Bluetooth Travel Guitar Amplifier --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/74858408-carbon-fiber-acoustic-collapsible-travel-guitar-of660m](https://www.desertcart.us/products/74858408-carbon-fiber-acoustic-collapsible-travel-guitar-of660m) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-23*
