Classic Tone, Modern Portability
The Journey Instruments OC520 is designed for musicians who refuse to compromise on playability when they're on the go. Featuring a solid Sitka Spruce top and mahogany back/sides, the guitar delivers the warm and responsive tone characteristic of a good classical guitar. The traditional 52mm neck width ensures your fingers find their place immediately.
Patented Overhead Technology
What truly sets the OC520 apart from other travel guitars is its patented neck system. You can dismantle the neck in under 20 seconds without the use of tools. The entire instrument fits into the specially designed travel backpack, meeting the carry-on requirements of most airlines. You'll never again need to check in your beloved guitar as fragile luggage.
Ergonomic Playing Comfort
Despite being a travel guitar, the OC520 feels full and powerful. The patented Manzer-style "Wedge" design makes the body deeper at the bottom to increase resonance, while it is narrower where the arm rests. This provides superb ergonomics and allows the guitar to sit naturally against the body, whether you're on a stage or in an airport lounge.
Ready for Amplification
The OC520 comes with the built-in JourneyTek 3-piezo passive pickup system. The system is specially designed to capture the natural dynamics of nylon strings without the need for batteries. Whether you're recording an idea in a hotel room or performing on an intimate stage, the OC520 delivers an honest and clear acoustic tone.
