The Escape Series, Traveler Guitar's Nomadic DNA
Designed for mobile musicians since the brand's inception, the Escape series condenses the essentials of a stage guitar into a compact size. The Mark III follows this philosophy: an optimized ergonomic body, reliable luthiery, and comprehensive electronics to create an instrument ready to play anywhere-from the living room to the dressing room, from the hotel to the airplane.
Who Is It For and What Is It For?
Ideal for demanding guitarists on the move, this travel electro-acoustic suits motivated beginners through intermediate/advanced players. Its discreet format and headphone amplifier encourage daily practice, while its amplified output and built-in equalization make it comfortable for rehearsals, home studios, and small stages, in modern acoustic, pop, folk, or chanson styles.
Sound
The Shadow Nanoflex piezo pickup captures the attack and nuances of playing with finesse, delivering a clear and balanced response, perfect for mixing. The Shadow preamp allows quick adjustment of bass, mids, and treble and includes an integrated tuner. The compact body prioritizes mobility: pure acoustic projection remains contained, but plugged in (or via headphones) the Mark III delivers a precise, defined sound with low feedback sensitivity. Alder finishes provide neutrality and balance; mahogany enhances warmth and singing mids.
