Excellent playability
No guitarist wants to be slowed down. With the Blackstar guitar, that will never happen. Slide across the fretboard in silky-smooth fashion thanks to a fast laurel fretboard and let every note be released with sparkling clarity. A cutaway design displayed on the body then enables you to reach those top frets without awkwardly positioning your hand, meaning definition and dynamics are never compromised. With the accessories included in this pack, such as picks and strap, you will be able to play comfortably wherever and whenever.
Powerful tone
Built from okoume, the body and neck of this guitar produce a gorgeous tone. Much like mahogany, okoume focuses on midrange frequencies to give you a beautifully balanced sound that begs colourful overtones. Its sonic characteristics are slightly brighter than that of mahogany and it is lighter in weight - the ultimate tonewood for a travel instrument. Featuring a string-through body design and a set-neck construction, the Blackstar Carry-on guitar offers stunning sustain that makes for a sublime, full-bodied sound. Strum or fingerpick confidently knowing your notes will never be halted, they are able to naturally fade away as the single-piece okoume reverberates freely and evenly.
Boasting a mini humbucker, this travel guitar delivers dynamic sound projection across the whole frequency range. Experience rich lows, a pronounced midrange, and sparkling highs with plenty of bite. And shape your tone to your own distinctive style using the volume and tone controls. The tone knob encompasses a coil-split feature with its push/pull design, so you can experience the wonders of single-coil sounds too. There's no need to be weighed down by multiple guitars on the road, this one has it all. If you're a budding musician just starting out, this guitar's sonic versatility is ideal as you can explore a range of styles whilst always producing a thrilling tone.
A box of wonders...
Blackstar have gone one step further. Along with the travel guitar comes a collection of handy accessories that make life on the road so much easier. An amPlug2 FLY guitar amp gives you a taste of the quality amplifiers Blackstar are known for. It really gives your music some oomph. Ensuring your instrument always stays in pristine condition is the premium travel bag whilst a useful strap and assortment of picks means you are will always be ready to deliver an unforgettable performance. If you're an aspiring songwriter, the A5 notebook and mechanical pencil will meet all your creative demands. When inspiration strikes, quickly write down any lyrics and whip out your guitar to practice any chords or riffs.
