Grand Auditorium power with full access
The OF882C is built for guitarists who demand more. Its larger Grand Auditorium body provides a volume and bass response rarely found in a travel instrument. With a professional cutaway, you get unobstructed access to the upper frets, making this model ideal for advanced fingerstyle, solo playing, and modern genres alike.
Premium material selection
The combination of solid Sitka Spruce and pau ferro back/sides delivers a tone that is clear, powerful, and rich in overtones. Pau ferro acts as a bridge between the tone of rosewood and ebony, providing fantastic definition in the low end. These are materials usually reserved for much more expensive guitars.
Ergonomic perfection
As part of the First Class series, the OF882C features Journey's "Wedge" design and an integrated armrest. The body is deeper where needed to create resonance but narrower where your arm rests. The result is a guitar that feels incredibly comfortable and natural to play, even during long concerts.
Travel with confidence
With the patented neck release system, you can detach the neck in under 20 seconds. The guitar packs securely into the included First Class travel backpack, specifically designed to fit in an airplane's overhead bin. When you reassemble it, it holds its tuning impressively well—you're ready to play immediately after landing.
JourneyTek electronics
The guitar is equipped with the passive JourneyTek 3-piezo pickup system. It transparently captures the natural resonance and dynamics of the spruce top, so you're always ready for amplification without worrying about batteries.
