Airline travel poses special considerations for choosing a guitar. Primary considerations are that the instrument be lightweight, compact and durable. Of course the instrument should also match the musical needs and purpose of the trip. All Voyage-Air guitars qualify as carry-on luggage, and will fit in the overhead bin of commercial airliners. For smaller, prop-driven ‘commuter planes’ the overhead bins are a bit smaller: in this case, the Voyager case has a zipper-detachable section that can be removed – then it will fit in these planes just fine. The slimmer Transit Bag cases easily fit in the overhead bins of these smaller planes. All Voyage-Air cases have a zippered compartment that’s large enough for most travel necessities: toothbrush, comb, a laptop computer and more. Pack your guitar and your travel needs in one single carry-on item – now it’s fast and easy to go through airport security! The Transit Series guitars are compact, lightweight and very durable. They are ideal for a business trip where you’d want to take along a guitar for practice in the off hours. The supplied Transit Bag is the most compact of the Voyage-Air cases, making it easiest to fit into overhead bins, or the backseat of a taxi at your destination. The Songwriter Series guitars are shipped with the same compact case as the Transit Series guitars, and are equally compact and lightweight. The extra resonance and harmonics of the Songwriter’s Solid Spruce top make them the pick for the more discerning musician who appreciates the superior tone of a solid wood top. The Songwriter Series is a better choice where music is a part of the purpose of the trip: for informal gigs, music seminars, outdoor music festivals or even performing on stage. Since their introduction, Songwriter Series guitars have been used for stage performances worldwide. If music is the purpose of the trip, and only the best will do, then the Premier Series guitars are the only choice. The brilliant harmonics and sustain afforded by their solid wood construction make this the no-compromise solution. The fine solid tonewoods used in the Premier Series are more fragile than the engineered Mahogany used in other Voyage-Air guitars. Therefore, these guitars are supplied with the super-durable Voyager carrying case. The extra size and padding of the Voyager case helps protect these fine instruments during travel. It is also slightly larger and heavier than the other Voyage-Air cases. Listen to the excerpt from an interview with A.J. Swearingen about airline travel with his Voyage-Air, click the player below.
