And it looks cool. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 28 March 2023* I bought this for no real reason other than I thought it looked pretty cool. That said, I travel a lot, so why not buy one? definitely worth it! Only a few trade offs worth considering: there's no volume or tone control locally, so you're completely dependent on your amp in modifying.I've yet to fly with it so my four stars are based purely on what I know to be beneficial: it's feather-light, very compact and will definitely fit in overhead compartment on flights (if your airline lets you take on ofc). If you place it in hold, it will fit in most suitcases and you can pad the thing with towels etc pretty easily.I genuinely expected it to be fairly awkward to handle, given that it doesn't have any real body to rest your forearm on, though i've not found it to be an issue at all. There will always be more powerful guitars at around the same price, but it more than meets expectations for its intended purpose -something easy to carry around. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic but well made and excellent playability *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 8 June 2024* I already had a Traveller nylon strung guitar and found it perfect for working on some flamenco pieces. But I also needed something to practice electric techniques e.g. hammers and pull-offs that weren't working too well on nylon strings and the wider neck. I chose this basic model as I didn’t need a volume control or headphone amp of dearer models. So this is perfect for keeping my fingers limber when I'm away. There are cheaper brands but playability and feel are crucial and I've been very happy with this company ### ⭐⭐⭐ Disappointed *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 10 November 2023* Ordered this as I wanted a small guitar to keep at work for playing on breaks etc, but ended up returning it.Pros:-Its mainly a great basic design (apart from bits listed below) and couldn't be any smaller with a full scale fretboard etc.-It seems well made with a few questionable flaws.-Very nice case and really would be great to put in a suitcaseCons:-Really didn't like the neck, it seemed quite thick to me (my normal guitars are a professionally set up Harley Benton LP copy, and a Fender Acoustasonic) - I would have thought this would have had a slimmer neck.-The action was quite high, which maybe could have been dealt with, but I didnt get that far with it.-There were a few questionable design aspects I didnt quite get:-The bits on the back holding the tuners stick out about 20mm, which they have to do, but I feel the ends could have been curved AND they could have been fitted with countersunk screws - these 2 things would make it more comfortable.-Where the strings come off the rollers, there is what looks like a cheap bit of velcro stuck as protection to the body - again maybe more thought on the design here and this looks like an afterthought-Hanger - just a bit of material but attached with a cable tie- again, looks cheap on what isn,t a cheap guitarAll just my own personal observations and I have read a load of reviews from people that love them, but this particular guitar isnt for me ## Frequently Bought Together - Traveler Guitar Ultra-Light 6 String Solid-Body Electric, Right, Matte Black, (ULE BKM) - Traveler Guitar TGA-1E Electric Guitar Headphone Amplifier - Protec Guitar Strap with Leather Ends and Pick Pocket, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/88164639-traveler-guitar-ultra-light-electric-guitar-matte-black-ule-bkm](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/88164639-traveler-guitar-ultra-light-electric-guitar-matte-black-ule-bkm) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-29*
