When
Traveler Guitar released their ever popular Escape series guitars in 2003,
we not only exceeded the expectations of guitar purists, but also our own
dedicated customer base. Now, nearly four years later, we have done it
again with the Escape MK-II. The updated Escape line still includes a full-scale
steel string, classical, and bass model. Traveler Guitar consulted with
revolutionary guitar builder John Carruthers to improve the ergonomics
of the Escape line; making the MK-II feel more like a traditional guitar
than ever before. Not only has the body been updated, but the new MK-II
also boasts a custom Hybrid-Element pickup system from none other than
the industry’s leading pickup innovator, L.R. Baggs. All three models come
equipped with the system which has onboard electronics with a 2-band EQ,
a built in headphone amplifier, and like all Travelers, the ability to
be plugged directly into a traditional amplifier for live applications.
The entire Escape MK-II line features classic finish options with elegant
binding, laminate spruce and cedar tops and traditional mahogany stains.
This top of the line acoustic series from Traveler comes complete with
a road worthy gig-bag from High Sierra; making the Escape MK-II the absolute
best solution for acoustic players on the go.
Every
Escape MK-II comes equipped with a custom L.R. Baggs Hybrid-Element headphone
amplifier, headphones, elegant binding, ebonized fingerboard, traditional
finish options and a sturdy, custom-designed gig-bag from High Sierra.
