About tone
First Class™️The first priority in designing the travel bag guitar was tone. Solid tonewoods, Mahogany neck and block, bridge and fretboard materials all work together to create a surprisingly rich tone from a small, easy-to-play guitar. If you send the output of the JourneyTek piezo pickup to PA console or amplifier, First Class™️ Travel Bag Guitar brings to the stage a tone reminiscent of a larger acoustic guitar.
About pickup
