No guitarist wants to be without an instrument when they travel, and now, thanks to the Harley Benton GS-Travel-E Mahogany, they won't have to. As its name suggests, this guitar (top, back, and sides) is made from sturdy mahogany, which is richly grained and covered with a matt finish, giving it a natural yet elegant look. Despite its smaller size, which is typical for travel guitars, the GS-Travel-E Mahogany sounds like a full-sized guitar and is also equipped with an onboard pickup system that allows it to be amplified. As if that weren't enough, this guitar is also extremely affordable, so players can look forward to that next trip without having to sacrifice any of their holiday budget.
Despite being just 95cm long and 10cm deep, the Harley Benton GS-Travel-E Mahogany is by no means inferior to larger designs. On the contrary, the guitar's pronounced midrange and treble response give it all the presence it needs, while the mahogany construction ensures plenty of warmth and fullness, so it certainly sounds bigger than it looks. At the same time, the V-shaped neck profile gives the GS-Travel-E Mahogany a solid and high-quality feel combined with a high level of playing comfort thanks to its blackwood (pine) fingerboard with a nut width of just 43mm. The guitar's well-balanced sound can also be amplified by means of the integrated HB-03 pickup system, which also includes a tuner.
Truly passionate guitarists will inevitably want to have their beloved instrument to hand at all times - wherever they happen to be. These players in particular will find the Harley Benton GS-Travel-E Mahogany to be an ideal companion, especially since its 596mm (23.5") scale length ensures an incomparably comfortable playing feel that also makes it great for players with smaller hands. Most distinctive, however, is the GS-Travel-E Mahogany's affordable price, because of which this guitar is the perfect choice for players who are looking for a second or third guitar that will still deliver a full and punchy sound comparable to that of OM models. And to ensure that the guitar can be transported in complete safety, a sturdy gig bag is included in the scope of delivery.

The Harley Benton GS-Travel-E Mahogany, with its robust construction and manageable dimensions, is no exception and will be thorougly at home as a backing instrument for singing songs at the beach or by the lake or as a solo instrument thanks to its excellent presence. That is not all, however: The GS-Travel-E Mahogany is the perfect solution wherever a compact guitar is needed, whether it be for a jam while lounging on the sofa (NOT something to try doing with a dreadnought!) or next to the player's desk, ready to go whenever inspiration strikes. And guitarists who truly never want to be without this guitar ever again need have no hesitation about taking it on stage with them thanks to the onboard pickup system.
