Flew here effortlessly from Quebec Canada to Goa India. Here’s a few photos as promised. More to come. Still loving the guitar.
Once I sell off some of my more expensive instruments (I’m retired …) I’ll be getting my grandson a Voyage Air Guitar. He’s 20 and turning into a real guitar player. He loves my guitar but can’t play it because I’m a lefty. Bummer for him! He bought himself a cheap one in Goa so that we can play together here.
Sincerely,
Gerry Griffin
We just returned from a band tour in Ireland. Our band is called “Mala & FyrMoon” from Switzerland.
I must say I’m really happy with the guitar!

Well here is my travel story. My name is Craig Caffall and I play lead guitar for Maria Muldaur (Midnight At The Oasis, circ.1974) for the past 13 years. I used to take a pair of Les Pauls on the road when we would do fly-aways over seas but was always scared that they would become damaged.
Then about four years ago I discovered Voyage Air guitars through a friend of mine while touring the southwest. Well when I got home I went to your web site and ordered two guitars from you. An acoustic VAD-04 SN and an
electric Bel Air VER-1. I really love the P-90 pickups on the VER-1 and I love the fact that it folds into an almost brief case size case.
We just played the Basel Blues Festival in Switzerland and people were amazed by the tone of the VER-1. Sorry you discontinued the model but really glad I have one to travel with. I even use it in the studio.
I have attached a video of us from the Blues Alive Festival in Sumperk, Czech Republic.
I have a new solo album (CD) coming out very soon and I used both the VAD-04 and the VER-1 on the album and added a thank you to Voyage Air guitars.
So THANK YOU for making wonderful instruments.
Musically, Craig Caffall
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!

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.
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!

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.
