Nobody even knows I’m carrying a guitar!

I’ve been on my first tour in Europe and the Voyage Air VAOM04 left handed is fabulous and with over 9 flights on the trip never had a single incident. Nobody even knows I’m carrying a guitar! Sound is great and I’ve outfitted it with an LR Baggs M80 soundhole pickup. Sounds great unplugged or plugged in.

I’ve gone on two 6 week trips now and I don’t even miss my Martins and in some ways the Voyage Air guitar plays better. Very happy with the investment and will continue to use it every time I have to fly and play shows. It also comes in handy for camping and hikes, etc. It’s great to have a guitar you don’t have to worry about.

Thanks Voyage Air Guitar!

UPDATE 3/4/21

I love this guitar. I love getting on a plane and nobody there even knows I have a guitar. I love undoing the neck after the last song on the last show of my tours and everyone thinks momentarily that my guitar neck is broken! I love taking it in the great little backpack it comes with around to great hikes all over the Santa Cruz mountains, never worrying about lugging it around, because it is effortless. It sounds just as good as any of my other guitars, and records like a dream. It’s written me some good songs. Voyage Air have been good to me, and have treated me great as a customer, and have always responded to my questions and needs. I’m glad I took the plunge a few years ago and ended my travel woes and worries with this instrument.

Bob Smith Update: 31 Countries, 4 years On The Road

Picture of me and my guitar in Northern Queensland Australia on our 7,500 km road trip July-August 2017. My Voyage Air Guitar is a Premier Series VAOM-1C, which I bought in Hilo Hawaii in April 2013 when I was there for the 50th anniversary Merry Monarch festival.

In the first 11 months I used it in Australia, California, Switzerland, Holland, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Russia, Finland, Sweden, Holland, France, Greece, Switzerland, California, Hawaii, Australia, Hawaii, California, Argentina, Uruguay, Falkland Islands, Antarctica, Argentina, Chile, Peru, California, Louisiana, New York, California, Hawaii, and now back to Australia. A whirlwind, 18 countries on 4 continents.

Travelling a lot, sometime as much as 6 months a year, my Voyage Air Guitar is my go-to guitar for being on the road and away from other guitars.

In the 2 ½ years since I first wrote to Voyage Air it has been back to Hawaii 3 times, to French Polynesia (Moorea, Bora Bora and Papeete) and New Zealand and Australia. It has crossed the entire Pacific Ocean including crossing the equator. It voyaged from Australia to Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.

In the past few months we covered the Western US (California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Nevada) playing with family and friends, then to Moscow, Russia, Dubai UAE, Qatar, Oman, Jordan, through the Suez Canal to Israel, then Greece, Switzerland, Hong Kong and Macau. While a few countries have been visited many times this is now 31 unique countries!

My Voyage Air is set up in a flash for playing opportunities and sharing with others and is sounding better and better. It is especially hard to find a travel solution to stay in practice as a finger-style player where balance and action are important. It is not only playable but I feel it has a sweet sound which has merit on its own, not just a ‘travel guitar’.

I have started to look for another Voyage Air ‘just in case’ – can’t even imagine being without one! Great guitar – outstanding value – true to its name!

Scouting, Sailing and Elvis

After trading-in my addiction to Angry Birds for a long-distance friendship with Justin Guitar about 7-years ago…..I was on a continuing search for a travel guitar.

I scoured the Internet and experimented with a Little Martin, Martin Backpacker and the Yamaha Silent Guitar, before settling on my Voyage Air.  As you can see from the pictures, we’ve gone to a few Boy Scout Jamborees (National Jamboree this past July and the World Jamboree in Japan in 2015).  At about the same time I started my life as a guitar player, I began building my sailing skills and the Voyage Air has traveled to the Abacos in the Bahamas a few times as well.  I’ve even “performed” for my office mates at a few company BBQ’s.

So, I’ve found my traveling axe…..and will continue sailing and Scouting with my Voyage Air, well into the future.

Peace & Love from Greece

Dear Voyage Air Guitar – As promised I send you here a little series of pics from Kefalonia (Greece)! Unfortunately I don´t have good mics with me to make a nice video, but it will come another time!

I wanted to let you know that I´m absolutely happy with the VAOM-2C!

“SHE” is wonderful to play… beautiful warm sound thanks to the rosewood back and sides! For me -as the VAOM-2C has a cutaway form- the rosewood back and sides correlates perfectly for the sound! As what the cutaway cuts of from bass and treble, the rosewood substitutes exactly in the right frequencies! Or with other words… it´s the BALANCE… or the RIGHT DOSAGE that makes me smile… whenever I play the sound inspires me… this is what a
singer songwriter loves most… to find a guitar that makes him WANT to play… and dive into the SOUND… amazing! Also in studio recordings this balance in sound is amazing!

Another thing that makes me smile is, that the guitar sound great for finger-style as well as for strumming. Only very less guitars I was playing had this balance between strumming and fingerstyle in there sound! And one of these was the Martin OM John Mayer which costs more then double of the price then the VAOM-2C.

With simple words! Your team created a masterpiece in many aspects! Not to forget in these context, the fold-ability of the guitar… the unique system you created, which makes traveling in aircrafts again affordable for musicians all over the globe…. a highlight itself! And all this still for an absolutely fair price!
My love & respect for your work!

Peace & Love from Greece
E R W I N :-)

Growing up in a small town in Austria, I fell in love with my first guitar already in young age. Music, yoga & nature is aconstant river of joy since that time. This is probably why I travel so much. Life is beautiful if we feel the inner connection! Hope my songs can inspire lots of loving souls out there :-)

Editors note: This in from one our most tan customers. If this doesn’t make you want to get out and enjoy the summer with a Voyage Air guitar, well we don’t know what does.

In Cabo San Lucas

I received my Voyage Air guitar just in time to take it to Cabo San Lucas for a week for my niece’s wedding at the Grand Fiesta Americana Resort. I played a couple songs at the the reception (outdoors by the pools) while my brother (the bride’s father) sang. I also spent several afternoons on my deck overlooking the grounds and sea strumming some Jimmy Buffet tunes, receiving some occasional applause from people enjoying the pools below.

It was great having the Voyage Air with me. The guitar got many comments, starting with the security guy running the x-ray machine at the airport in San Diego, who shouted out “is that one of those guitars from Shark Tank?”!

Traveling with a Voyage Air is a great way to make new friends.

Singing on Koh Samui and Shanghai

In August 2015, I flew out out to Thailand from Manchester, England. After an overnight in Bangkok, I continued by coach and ferry to Koh Samui, an island off Thailand’s eastern seaboard where I was to work for a month as a volunteer teacher of English.

The part of the teaching I enjoyed most was in the kindergarten where we found songs to be an excellent means of teaching and learning. “No Woman No Cry” and “Have you Ever Seen The Rain?” also went down really well on those couple of occasions when we taught older students.

After Thailand it was on to Shanghai where I was booked to sing at two private functions and while I was there I was asked to do another at the celebrated Jiashan Market.

I have had my Voyage Air (VAOM-2CNA) fitted with an L.R. Baggs M1 Pickup, which has enabled me to take on a wider variety of gigs when I am traveling. It’s great to have a quality instrument readily available when overseas and although it took me a few months to get used to my Voyage-Air, I have grown to appreciate its quality and craft. I also use my Voyage Air when gigging at home.

Keep Music Live!
