Paul Price & his VAOM-04BK

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.

Sincerely,
Paul Price, Florida

 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.”

Sincerely,

Bob Pellizzi – Buford, GA

Brie Capone: Berklee College of Music

I’m a professional music major at Berklee College of Music going into my last year this September.

I’m also a singer/songwriter and I’ve been playing the guitar since I was 16. I am the lead singer and rhythm guitarist for my band Coffee Blue.

I was the winner of a Voyage Air guitar recently during a raffle at a Berklee College of Music Clinic given by John Oates, and what an experience talking with John Oates about the Voyage Air and how I love my new guitar.

Thanks so much

Paul in PA – NEW Belair Owner

Dear Voyage Air Guitar…

Well the guitar arrived on Saturday 3/2 ! I didn’t really get to put it thru its paces until late afternoon Sunday and then Sun night I set it up to my liking (preferred string gauges, raised the action and reset the intonation) heavier strings gave the neck a bit more relief as I prefer, so didn’t need to touch the truss rod adjustment.

I have to say the case/ packaging (and of course the neck joint) are extremely well engineered and very clever.  The fit and finish are high quality, QC is obviously a top priority – set-up was very well done.  Varnish is flawless.

But guitar itself… To qualify my comments, I have mostly high end instruments (ES-355, PRS Custom 24, LP 58 RI, Fender EJ Strat and a Rice relic Tele, among others, including some high end and old acoustics, etc).  This is a nice guitar !! Frets are very well set and finished,  Loved the pickups, pretty damn good neck, too.  Excellent – a great value even without the folding neck joint.  What a find ! You did a great job in design and outsourcing – kudos.

I’m enjoying the guitar a lot, worth the wait (well, almost – I hate to wait, but even so…).  One happy new owner here.

Thanks,
Paul L

Dear Voyage Air:
I can’t recall ever writing a company praising their product – even the great ones – but the Voyage Air guitar is a special case for me. I think any guitar loving addict like me would feel the same way.

It is all about being able to take a great sounding guitar with you in the overhead storage rather than having it languish with the luggage and in the baggage bowels of airports.

I interviewed all the “travel” guitars that were in stock at the San Francisco Guitar Center. They were all wanting of a decent guitar sound. Then, the salesman told me that they recently had a full sized folding neck guitar that really did sound great and that really could be easily folded and put back into play again (with a little tuning.) He said Guitar Center had the guitars on order but I didn’t want to wait so I took a chance and ordered the Voyage-Air VAD-2 dreadnaught model online: sight unseen and unheard!

I figured I would return the guitar if it didn’t meet my quality standards.

I should state here that I have a forty year old Martin D-35 and a Taylor 12 string. I may not have “golden-ears” but I do know what a quality guitar sounds like.

My new Voyage Air passed the audition with flying colors. The sound is very good and will only get better with age. The construction and materials are quality, and I can take it anywhere.

My excitement over this guitar reminds me of when I purchased the first generation iPod: finally I was able to conveniently take my music with me – just like I can now take my guitar with me.

For a lover of music and guitar playing, who could ask for anything more?

Now I’m thinking about that electric Voyage Air.

Cheers,
Edward McShane
