Written Information : As you enter information, the area will expand. Make sure to check the required details of the assignment. Since I won the honor of picking any guitar of my choice, I thought of choosing a guitar by the company Traveler. I wanted to pick a guitar by traveler because of their low weight and their uniqueness and bizarre shape, and their ability to be taken apart for easy travel. This is a good thing for me because I would like to take my guitar with me.

My choices were the Traveler speedster electric candy apple red, and the Traveler pro series travel acoustic-electric guitar. I wanted to pick a Traveler guitar because they weigh less than other electric guitars and are easy to carry around with you. And they also can be taken apart for even easier travel, hence the name Traveler. I want this guitar because I would like to be able to carry my guitar around with me and take it places. This is a good choice because it is compact and is very easy to take with you.

I like the way the guitar is constructed with the odd shape and the arm rest coming off of it. I also like the way the tuning pegs are inside the guitar under the strings which makes for a very compact design. I also like the way it is really light because at 4 ½ pounds it is lighter than most other electric guitars. I also like the metal strings it has on it because I like that sound better and I like to play on metal strings more. I like the sound it makes because it sounds smooth and sounds just like I want an electric guitar to sound like. It is perfect for any genres of music and will suit anybody.

The accessory items that I would pick for my guitar is the Marshall mini amplifier because since the amp is mini, it makes it really easy to carry around with you because you can put it in the guitar bag due to its tiny size. This is perfect for me because I want to take my guitar with me everywhere and this amp is just like a regular amp but smaller and easier to carry around. This is a good thing to have with the guitar becuase they both are made for easy travel and are perfect for me.

So, in conclusion, I want the Traveler Speedster electric guitar because I would be taking my guitar everywhere with me and I need a light and small guitar to take with me
