Traveler Guitar
I'm lookin' for an axe to take to jams on my motorcycle.
Have any of you used this guitar ? Do you like it? Can you play it without the arm or does the strap go on the arm? http://www.travelerguitar.com/speedster_specs.htm JJ

Those look pretty cool. I'd also recommend checking out one of these:

I owned the speedster for a while and it was the best travel guitar I ever owned (and best office guitar). I thought I would definitely keep it, but GAS happened and I bought a couple of new guitars and needed to sell some stuff that wasn't essential to make room. But I really dug the Speedster. It felt great and sounded wonderful through the Pandora I traveled with.
If I start traveling heavily again for work this year, it'll be the EG-1 that I buy, no question. I posted on it here: http://www.thegearpage.net/board/sho...d.php?t=166429 BAN

I have the Speedster and it works well as a travel guitar. I hate changing strings on it, though.

Single Coils
The Speedster has a single pup size double blade humbucker.
I love single coils. Does this pup have any tele snap & twang ? Does the pup sound any good ? I prefer the eg-1 as a guitar but it has a 'bucker size 'bucker. I wonder if I would like it if I stuck a tapped 'bucker in there. On the Speedster you have to leave that arm on in order to use a strap ? Is anyone having a blowout on "old" speedsters ? The new ones don't come in orange and don't have that industrial metal turned finish. :AOK JJ
