THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING A TRAVELER ACOUSTIC ESCAPE MARK III!
Traveler Guitar is the industry's leading manufacturer of full-scale, travel-sized instruments. Most travel guitars
sacrifice playability for portability—but at Traveler Guitar, we believe players need both. Since 1992, we have
designed full-scale acoustic and electric travel guitars, offering a wide variety of solutions for players on-the-
go. 
The Escape Mark III is a full-scale acoustic/electric travel guitar with advanced features for the discriminating
player on-the-go. Features include an ergonomic body co-designed by John Carruthers, a full 25 ½" scale
neck, and completely redesigned electronics featuring a Shadow headphone amp/preamp with a 1/8" aux-in
jack so you can plug in headphones and your mobile device and play anywhere. The Mark III comes with a
deluxe gig bag and fits in airline overhead compartments.
