EG-1 Custom - Not my usual review, but I wanted to take the time to review this baby, and tell you why I think you should get this guitar over the EG-1 Custom. Here's the whole of it: this is the same guitar as the EG-1 Custom for $100 cheaper. The only differences are the look (I prefer this look), the onboard tuner (a cool feature, but if you play another non-traveler guitar, you probably already own a tuner, so who cares), and the gig bag. The gig bag is a little better in the Custom, but surely it's not worth the difference. That said, if you are an absolute beginner, and this is your first guitar, while I wouldn't recommend either, I'd recommend the Custom over the EG1B simply because you will get pick scratches on the bottom of this guitar - and the gloss of the other will protect against that. If your pick control is halfway decent though, this is a very tough guitar to scratch accidentally: there's just not that much space available below the strings to scratch. Anyway, I hope this helps someone make the decision for one guitar over the other. I love these travelers, and neither is a bad choice, but there weren't enough comparisons done, so I took it on myself to write this. Godspeed, and rock on! Review: I don't travel anymore, but this is great for a practice guitar. - This guitar is great, I use it all the time connected to my Ipad for practice. The only problem that I came across is the neck needed to be adjusted and couple of frets needed to be lowered slightly. The neck adjustment I can understand, but having to work the frets on a 500 dollar guitar is a bit much. IMO. Other then that I love this guitar. I also have the Mark III, it was my main for several years. I wanted an electric version. So I got this. I am quit happy with it. ## Features - BUILT FOR TRAVEL: The EG-1 Blackout is a portable and travel-friendly version of your favorite at-home guitar that you can take anywhere and everywhere you go. Weighing 3 lbs 15 oz and measuring 28.5”, this will be your steadfast road companion. - PERFORMANCE WITHOUT COMPROMISE: Our proprietary In-Body Tuning System eliminates the need for a headstock by relocating standard tuning machines into the body. Even though it’s small, it’s still crafted with a full 24 3/4" scale experience and 21 frets. - PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT: This electric guitar includes a custom gig bag with storage pockets to protect your instrument. It measures 31.5” in the bag, so you can easily take it alongβ€”with help from the comfy padded shoulder straps. - UNMATCHED FEATURES: Equipped with our built-in, proprietary 4-channel headphone amplifier to practice privately and a custom tap-pot. Mahogany body and neck, black satin finish, and walnut fingerboard. - TRUSTED EXPERTS: For over 3 decades, Traveler Guitar has been providing reliable, quality travel guitars and is a brand that touring musicians trust.

I am quit happy with it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Poor finish on Traveler Guitars *by L***R on June 10, 2020* I bought an EG-1 Blackouts end of Jan of this year (2020). Very disappointed in the quality of the finish on the Blackout. I have a spot about the size of a half dollar next to the volume knob there the finish has already worn away exposing the wood underneath. The guitar is only a few months old and has only had light to moderate use. I also noticed a couple small spots at the base of the neck where the finish has worn off. This shows poor craftsmanship. This instrument is practically new and the finish is already showing wear. See attached picture. I contacted Traveler and all they would do is offer me a discount on a new guitar. That just leaves me hanging with a guitar with an inferior finish. Guess I will just have to write it off as a lesson learned. VERY disappointed in Traveler product. Buyer beware. Avoid matte black finish. Its crap. Traveler did the right thing. They replaced my guitar due to my finish problems. Now a happy camper. Replaced the matt finish model with a glossy finish model. Took a while but they came thru in the end. Thanks to Traveler for their excellent customer service. My faith has been restored. ## Frequently Bought Together - Traveler Guitar 6 String Solid-Body Electric Guitar, Right, Black Matte (EG1B BKM) - New bee Guitar Cable 10ft Electric Instrument Bass AMP Cord for Electric Mandolin, Pro Audio (Right Angle to Straight, Black) - Positive Grid Spark GO 5W Ultra-Portable Smart Guitar Amp, Headphone Amp & Bluetooth Speaker with Smart App for Electric Guitar, Acoustic or Bass --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/71925445-eg-1-standard](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/71925445-eg-1-standard) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
