The Escape Mark III is a full-scale acoustic/electric travel guitar with advanced features for the discriminating player on-the-go. The Escape Mark III is a full 25 1/2"-scale acoustic/electric travel guitar with a headphone amp built in. The proprietary In-Body tuning System uses standard tuning machines relocated into the body, eliminating the need for a headstock. As a result, you’ll have the same full-scale playing experience you’re used to on an instrument that’s 26% shorter and 47% thinner than a typical, full-sized acoustic. The built-in shadow headphone amplifier produces a crisp, clean signal through headphones for private practice sessions. A shadow Nano Flex pickup under the saddle senses the vibrations of the strings and body for an acoustic-style sound without the bulk of a resonant body. The control plate includes volume, treble and bass controls, a built-in chromatic Tuner as well as a headphone output and aux-in for jamming along with your favorite tracks. A standard ¼" output jack allows you to plug into your favorite amp. Features include a mahogany body with cutaway for high fret access, and a bolt-on mahogany neck with black walnut fingerboard. It has standard tuning machines and uses standard acoustic strings, measures only 29 1/2" Long, and is ready to play right out of the gig bag. The Escape Mark III is a perfect solution for traveling acoustic players unwilling to compromise on scale length, and looking for a compact yet comfortable guitar. Fits easily in airline overhead compartments in the included deluxe gig bag.
