I love this guitar! I wasn’t sure what to expect when I ordered it, it is outstanding. I’ve been playing for 40 some years and i have some really good guitars; this one holds it’s own with any of them. Everybody who has seen it and played it is just amazed. it is loud, strong and clear, great guitar to sing with.

The tuners are some of the best working ones that I’ve ever seen, instant response and stays in tune. I play bluegrass so I get into alot of jams at the festivals, every where I take this guitar, it’s a hit; really holds it’s own in a crowd.

No drowning this one out! I also play old time gospel in churches where the volume has to be controlled to play softly when I need to have the lyrics heard. No problem; it is so responsive.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this guitar…Thank you SO much!

Steve Stern is a singer/songwriter based in Nashville. Originally from WV, he blends traditional mountain and country music themes into a unique story-telling style, with new lyrics and melodies that are familiar, yet fresh and new.

Check out his CD “Steam Powered Stern”, recorded by Jack Irwin at Silvertone Studio in Nashville, and check out the high caliber musicians who were involved in the project. This blend of country, bluegrass, and mountain music is energetic, but still warm and embracing.

He regards his Voyage Air Guitar as a no-compromise choice when playing and recording, and the portability is a marvel, and real bonus.

Rev. Nettie Spiwack travels extensively, bringing her music to far points on the globe such as India and South America.  Nearly three years ago, she discovered Voyage Air Guitar, and ordered a VAOM-06.  It’s been her constant traveling companion ever since.

Nettie wrote us a long letter about her experiences with various guitars in the past, and how her Voyage-Air was a revolution for her travels.

Here’s a clip from her letter:

“I was happily surprised by everything about the (Voyage Air) guitar…how good it sounded, how easy the action was, how well my hands could manage the (mercifully flatter) neck. And how light it was! Truth be told, I have many purses and totes that are far heavier!

“Since 2009, this Voyage Air guitar has traveled twice to India, several times to Brazil, and on countless trips around the USA. It’s been on every type of airplane, and by zipping off the computer case, I even managed to squeeze it under the seat on a small flight from Madurai to Bangalore when it looked like I might have to check it.

“My Voyage Air never fails to cause a stir. It’s still not widely known, and I’ve even had flight attendants ask me to open it so they could see it!

“This summer in Brazil, a classical guitarist almost fell over himself when he saw me fold the neck down. He held it mesmerized, smiling, unable to believe the sound and the engineering.

“My Larrivee, (that I named) Angel I, now holds court in my house and steps out once in a while for local gigs. She’s enjoying her retirement, and truth be told, sometimes I look at her wistfully when I’m going on the road, thinking maybe this time I’ll take her. But (my Voyage Air that I named) Angel II always wins out.”

Thanks Nettie.

I got my new VAOM-04BK a few months ago and I wanted to express my feelings about the instrument. The obvious part that is amazing, of course, is that it folds in half and can be transported aboard planes and carried around easily. That part is–albeit amazing in its own right–not really the best part of the guitar. I cannot imagine a better guitar on the market today that sells for $499 of any brand, and this guitar is most impressive on this count. It sounds like a guitar costing a thousand dollars more, and the build quality and attention to detail is better than many guitars with the high price tags.
I am a professional, and set up my own guitars. For my playing, this one required very minor changes: I changed the saddle and the bridge pins and strings. I also installed a Seymour Duncan SA-6 pickup. The sound is very full, and the size is very surprising after you hear the projection. The Solid Spruce top sings, and even though the back and sides are laminate, they reflect and support structurally and sonically in all areas. I got the black model, and the vintage vibe is very cool.

I can’t fault the guitar in any area. It’s on a par with any American made guitar of similar type and the fact that it folds in half makes it possible to have a real guitar wherever I go. I travel and play gigs in England and I also fly a lot within the US, and this guitar will allow me to have my own sound and feel without compromising for something that is less enjoyable to play–meaning every other travel guitar on the market. Thanks again for such a killer instrument, and I will keep you posted as I continue to play it!

UPDATE:
I recently did 3 gigs with my new VAOM-04BK, and the guitar performed and sounded great. I had numerous people come up and ask what kind of guitar I was playing because of how it sounded, not because it folded in half. When I showed them about it’s special features, I got the general jaw-dropping response. I played for about 2,000 people at the Villages in Florida Sunday, and I was running through a large sound system. The guitar was sensational. The Seymour SA-6 is perfect for the guitar and I have no problems dialing in my tone.

 A note to the staff at Voyage Air Guitar:

“My wife and I recently saw the Shark Tank episode, where there was a re-cap about how the Voyage Air Guitar company was doing. This was the first we had heard about these folding guitars. They seemed perfect for our use and upcoming travels.

“After some Internet research and a few phone calls, I couldn’t decide between the new BelAir electric guitar, or if I wanted just a Transit Series acoustic guitar… so I ordered one of each from TakeYourGuitar.com. Both guitars arrived in perfect condition, in just a few days.

“The sound of both is great! I have compared the BelAir to my usual Fender electric guitar, and I have to say that the sound is better, with more clarity to the notes.

“Now that I have had a chance to play them both, I am very happy with the quality of both the acoustic and the electric BelAir. I find that I am playing guitar much more frequently since I got them.

“Soon, my wife and I will take a trip to Greece, and I am planning to give the VAOM-02 to my nephew there, so I will need to buy another Voyage-Air Transit Series acoustic guitar.

“Just this morning, my grandson ‘Max’ age 5 walked into my closet and picked up my VAOM-02, and he sits down to play a song. Where he got the words, I don’t know, but I grabbed my video camera and have included it here. In the past, we tried to get Max going with other inexpensive guitars. Turns out no: Max wants a Voyage-Air!

“I am amazed by the quality and tone of the inexpensive Transit Series guitar. With this quality, I would probably have paid more for an upgraded Songwriter Series guitar. But now, with my experience, I’m going straight to the Voyage-Air Premier series for my next guitar.

“Thank you, Voyage-Air. Your guitars have changed the way that I play my music, how often I play, and the way that I am able to pass the magic of music to my family.”

Bob Pellizzi – Buford, GA
