Will my Voyage-Air Guitar stay in tune when unfolded?
Yes! The precision engineering of Voyage-Air folding guitar technology is
designed to exacting specifications, allowing the guitar strings to return
as closely as possible to their previous state and tension when the guitar
is in the fully locked-open position. Just about every guitar needs a little
adjustment when it first comes out of the case. In this respect, the tuning
of the Voyage-Air folding guitar is as good as any high-end guitar on the
market today. Frequently, you will find you can pull your Voyage-Air guitar
right out of the case, lock the neck into position, and JUST PLAY!
How is the intonation?
In a word, remarkable! Your Voyage-Air Guitar is a full-size, full-scale
fine instrument. This means that the fret position and distance from
nut-to-bridge are the same time-proven specs as you will find on any
non-folding guitar. The innovative features incorporated into the design of
your Voyage-Air guitar ensure accurate intonation and harmonics throughout
the full run of the neck. These include a FreeLock ™ nut, zero-fret and
captive bridge saddle.
Will I break a lot of strings on my Voyage-Air Guitar?
Hmmm.. The question is, do you break a lot of strings now? Guitar strings
are affected by any number of things, such as the quality of strings you
use, playing styles, even temperature changes. You will find you get about
the same performance out of the strings on your Voyage-Air Guitar as you
would on any other non-folding guitar. In fact, consider this... Most of the
time, your guitar is in a case, on a stand, or in the closet somewhere, with
full tension on the strings. When you fold up your Voyage-Air Guitar for
storage, there IS NO tension on the strings! You might even save a buck or
two on strings.
Is the neck adjustable on my Voyage-Air guitar?
The neck on your Voyage-Air Guitar uses a fully-adjustable, bi-directional
truss-rod. This advanced feature allows the player to easily adjust the
action to suit his or her playing style.
What kind of case will I need for my Voyage-Air guitar?
Every Voyage-Air Guitar comes with a custom soft case, designed specifically
for convenient travel when the guitar is in the folded position. Of course,
you could carry your Voyage-Air Guitar, unfolded, in any standard hard or
soft case... but why?
Can I take my Voyage-Air guitar on ALL airplanes?
When folded and stored in the custom case, your Voyage-Air Guitar meets or
exceeds all carry-on conditions for the majority of commercial and
international airlines. Smaller or regional carriers may differ, with regard
to the size of storage compartments or under-seat storage. In some cases,
you may pass through baggage and security just fine, and be required to
store your Voyage-Air Guitar in a closet onboard.
What about airport security?
Your Voyage-Air Guitar passes through airport security, just like any other
carry-on item. Simply place it on the conveyor, along with your other
personal items. It will be scanned and waiting for you at the end of the
security checkpoint. However, don't be surprised if you are detained by an
airport security officer asking you where they can buy one of these amazing
Voyage-Air Guitars!
