Stan Hirsch: Live in Mexico with Voyage-Air


Stan Hirsch is one of our longtime loyal customers. He's also a local legend in the Albuquerque, NM area, setting the bar for acoustic blues guitar. That's not bragging. That's just the way it is in the Land of Enchantment.


Stan's adopted his Voyage-air VAOM-06 guitar as his main stage guitar. Equipped with a K&K pickup, Stan played the Voyage-air guitar recently at the The Zihuatanejo International Guitar Festival, on the coast of Mexico.


For someone of Stan's stature and experience, we're thrilled that he's discovered Voyage-air guitars, and that he continues to refer business to us here at Take Your Guitar in Chico, CA.


Thank YOU, Stan Hirsch. Thanks to you and others... word is really getting around about these amazing guitars!

Tosh in NY Reviews the VAOM-06 for Amazon.com

Tosh called us right away at Take Your Guitar when he found out about the Voyage-air travel guitar. And we're here to say: Tosh spent a lot of time on the phone, asking about every little detail of the Voyage-air instruments.

Finally, Tosh settled on the popular VAOM-06, crafted from solid Spruce top and select Mahogany for the back and sides. He bought the guitar from our shop: Take Your Guitar, of Chico, CA.

As of late, Tosh has played this guitar extensively, and traveled to Europe, where he performed with it. His final comments are posted below:

"I recently bought it [the Voyage-air VAOM-06] and have been playing for about two weeks. It has settled down nicely and started to respond very well to my playing. Although this is the lowest end of their line-ups, it has very nice mahogany sound and intonation/tuning is very stable especially when capo is used (better than my Martin). I own two high-end guitars (Martin and Collings) both of which are rosewood-based and this nicely complements my collection without spending a fortune. I also researched heavily before I purchased it and have no regrets. I highly recommend it to everyone whether you have travel needs or not. If you have any issues or questions, customer service at Voyage-air will gladly help you... they were very helpful throughout the process."

What can we say other than: 'Thanks Tosh!' We're always pleasantly surprised when loyal customers are so impressed that they... post product reviews on any website they can find - even those like Amazon.com that sell Voyage-air guitars at a higher price! Very cool.

Thanks again, Tosh!
