EG-1 Custom V2 User Guide
INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING A TRAVELER GUITAR EG-1 CUSTOM V2! Traveler Guitar is the industry’s leading manufacturer of full-scale, travel-sized instruments. Most travel guitars sacrifice playability for portability—but at Traveler Guitar, we believe players need both. Since 1992, we have designed full-scale acoustic and electric travel guitars, offering a wide variety of solutions for players on the go.
OVERVIEW OVERVIEW AND SET-UP OVERVIEW: The Traveler Guitar EG-1 Custom (Black) V2 is a full 24 ¾” scale electric travel guitar featuring a full-sized humbucker and our newly redesigned on board headphone amplifier. The In-body tuning system uses conventional tuning machines mounted in the guitar’s body to facilitate the use of standard guitar strings. Strings pass through the endcap, then around the string rollers and to the tuning machines mounted to the back of the guitar.
OVERVIEW SET-UP AND SET-UP SET-UP: The EG-1 Custom V2 is ready to play right out of the gig bag. USING HEADPHONES: The built-in headphone amp powers headphones from the 1/8” output on the jackplate. To activate the headphone amp, plug into the headphone or 1/4” jack. To cycle through different tones (Clean/Boost/ Overdrive/Distortion), push down on the tone knob. Be sure to unplug all cables from your guitar when not in use to save battery life.
STRINGING AND TUNING INSTALLING STRINGS: The EG-1 Custom V2 uses standard ball-end strings. (Factory installed D’Addario EXL-110.) No special tools are required for string changes. The tuners on your Traveler Guitar operate just like the tuners on a standard guitar. We recommend changing the strings three at a time—but be careful not to remove all the strings at once, since some of the components are held in place by string tension.
CLEANING, STORAGE AND GENERAL CARE CLEANING: Periodic cleaning and polishing will help protect your Traveler Guitar. Use a polish formulated for musical instruments and apply it according to the polish directions—or, you can wipe the guitar down with a clean, damp cloth followed quickly by a clean, dry cloth. To clean residue off the fingerboard, you can use extra-fine steel wool to rub up and down the length of the fingerboard over the top of the frets.
