Overview
A hotel room, a flight or a late-night practice session all suit the Escape Mark III, which moves the tuning machines into the body so the headstock disappears. A headphone output lets the player practice privately, and the quarter-inch jack feeds an amp.
A full-scale feel in a small, light body is the reason to look at it. The limitation is that it is not a resonant acoustic, so the sound relies on the pickup rather than a hollow body.
Who it's for
Frequent flyers, commuters and apartment dwellers who want a standard-feeling neck and private practice. Players who need acoustic volume without electronics, or a left-handed model, will need another guitar.
Pros and cons
- Full-scale neck on a compact body
- Built-in headphone amp
- Chromatic tuner on the control plate
- Fits airline overhead compartments
- Not a resonant acoustic body
Performance notes
The under-saddle pickup senses string and body vibration, so the amp and headphone sound come from the electronics more than from a hollow chamber. The relocated tuners give a standard tuning feel, and the control plate gives volume, treble and bass. Output goes to headphones, aux-in play-along or a standard quarter-inch amp lead.
