A Travel Guitar Designed to Follow You Everywhere
With the TRAVEL series, Kala offers streamlined instruments intended for mobile musicians: travel, rehearsals, vacations, or simply the desire for an easy-to-grab instrument daily. The idea is simple: a thinner body for better portability, compensated by an arched back that helps the instrument retain presence and projection.
For Whom and Which Styles?
This "Concert" format is suitable both for beginners seeking a practical and stable instrument and for intermediate players looking for a reliable travel companion. It is particularly well-suited for accompaniment in pop, folk, reggae, variety, as well as chord and arpeggio playing. Its handling and size make it an excellent choice for playing at home or outdoors.
Sound Characteristics
The solid spruce top delivers a quick response, good attack definition, and a bright treble range. The mahogany back and sides enhance midrange warmth and overall roundness, balancing the more "nervous" character of the spruce. The arched back contributes to more direct projection and an increased volume sensation, which is notable for such a thin-bodied instrument. Finally, the Aquila Super Nylgut strings complete the setup with a crisp attack and stable intonation.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To complement the included deluxe gig bag, you can add a clip-on tuner (compatible with most headstocks), a folding instrument stand, and a microfiber cloth to maintain the satin finish and preserve the solid spruce top.
