Carry-on Blackstar ST-VW - Short Scale 527mm Travel Electric Guitar (Vintage White) with Mini Humbucker
The Blackstar Carry-on ST-VW is a travel electric guitar designed to deliver the feel and performance of a full-size instrument in a compact package. It features a poplar body with a string-through design for improved sustain, a two-piece bolt-on maple neck , and an 18-fret laurel fingerboard . Its short 20.7″ scale length reduces fingerboard tension and brings positions closer together without sacrificing attack definition.

A Vintage White finish completes a practical instrument for practicing, writing, and recording with a minimal footprint.
