Here’s a photo of my wife and I doing an outdoor chapel service at Pinecrest Lake last summer. Good times!
There’s also one taken while we were “trail angeling” for PCT hikers on top of Sonora Pass.

I am retired so all of my travel is leisure travel and I love to travel with my Voyage Air VAD-04. It literally goes everywhere I travel. I had a K and K undersaddle pick-up install for gigging which turned out to be very insightful. Just a couple of examples where me and the VA (Virginia, as I call her) have been.
It is always a joy to have a guitar away from home to noodle around to keep up skills or perform. In 2015 I embarked on an 8 day Rhine River Cruise with my wife and Virginia. On the small river cruises entertainment consists of 1 keyboard player who also sings. On the first evening I asked the on-board performer if I could sit in with him and he was gracious enough to let me join him. After a short discussion, we agreed that I would lead and he would back me up. He also suggested playing tunes that might get the audience up and dancing. We started in on some old rock and roll: High Heeled Sneakers – Shake, Rattle and Roll – Kansas City and had the boat rocking. After an hour and a half of non stop playing and dancing I had to move on to other planned activities. The keyboard player and I got together 2 more evenings onboard and kept the boat rocking.
We have a new grand-baby and make numerous trips from Washington DC to Denver on a regular basis. Virginia ALWAYS makes the trip with us. On a recent visit we went to Ziggys – the oldest blues club in Denver for open mic night. I am basically an acoustic blues finger-style player so I started my set with Blind Blake, Robert Johnson, Cephas and Wiggins then moved over to some acoustic versions of Howlin’ Wolf and Muddy Waters. The set was supposed to be for 3 songs but the guy running the open mic said to keep going. My wife gave me the hand across the neck sign to stop after 40 minutes. Although when in Denver, more importantly I play lullabies for granddaughter Sierra.
We have also performed from Florida to Maine and the Caribbean also. When playing out in public, an important part of my performance is taking out and setting up the Voyage Air in front of the audience. It always draws attention, drops a few jaws and gets some questions. I appreciate the technology you guys put in to developing the VA guitars. I certainly get much use from mine.

This is the before and after pictures of my ride and you can see what Voyage Air Guitar has done to make it easier and safer!
Your customer service was outstanding and wanted to send a special thanks. Having me guitar on my CA vacation meant a lot to me.
Love the guitar, fits perfect on a Motorcycle.
Surprising? Not one person I have shown this to even heard of a folding guitar?

UPDATE: All types of weather, still playing sweet and looking good
I like to ride my Harley and I love Greece, especially Crete, so I traveled there for five weeks. Six days by Motorbike and ships from the north of Germany to one of the southern tip of Europe.
2016 I took a small travel-guitar but it wasn’t the same. It was not easy to tune and the sound of the small body was even “small”.
2017 I bought a Voyage Air VAMD-02. I changed the Inlay from the bridge from plastic to bone and I took stronger strings so the bass-sound becomes better. I wondered the volume by picking, “she’s” very loud although she has a light and small body. She’s very easy to play and stays in tune, makes a lot of fun.
I took the VA on top of my luggage, it was a really high tower. In Germany it rains very much so I must put the case in a plastic sack to make it water prove. After 2000 km over land and 1600 km over sea (3 nights on two ferry-boats) I arrived the south of Crete.
I lived in my tent a few weeks. And when I came from the tavern in the evening after a good meal and some beer or wine I took my guitar and played some songs. There were many stars to see or the full moon, some nights were very warm. And with just some more wine I could play and sing better and better. It’s amazing.
We had a lot of fun, my VA and me. And next Year we want to go there again – together.
Best wishes,
Wolfgang
I speak at a lot of conferences throughout the U.S. and my guitar always comes with me.
Most people hate waiting at airports. I love it because it’s just more practice time for me.
This picture was taken at the Florida Association for Behavior Analysis conference in Daytona Beach Florida.
Thanks for making a travel guitar that is such a joy to play that it has become my primary guitar!
