Voyage-Air 'Wows' Reviewers at Guitar Player Magazine

Guitar Player Magazine - the most widely circulated guitar magazine in the United States - just now printed a full review of the revolutionary Voyage-Air VAOM-2C guitar in the monthly Gear Bench Test section of the magazine.

Dave Hunter was in charge of the review, and had this to say: "I'm a cynic by nature...so I was prepared to rip the VAOM-2C all up and down the shop. But you know, the major or immediate flaws just weren't there. In short, right from the start, the neck folded into place, locked, and voila, I had a full-sized guitar in my hands." Other comments from his review:

• "It (the guitar) yields a rich, balanced voice when attacked with a flatpick for either rhythm or lead work, with a firm, solid bass, sweet highs, and plenty of volume."
  
  
• "Played fingerstyle, it's still lively enough to pop out the notes, and it projects well even when you're not laying into it."
  
  
• "All in all, though, the VAOM-2C is extremely well rendered, both as a travel instrument and a guitar in general."

Whoa! You know what? Dave Hunter, and Guitar Player magazine confirmed what dozens of professional musicians around the world already know: the Voyage-Air Premiere Series guitars are stage-ready, recording-grade, 100% professional instruments that are easy to pack when you're on the road.

Ask Rusty Anderson, who played the same VAOM-2C guitar on stage with the Paul McCartney band on their European tour last December. Ask any of the Voyage-Air Artists / Endorsers: John Oates (of Hall and Oates), Zac Brown, Brad Paisley, Steve Miller and more.

Echoes from the Shark Tank

It was last summer that Voyage-Air guitar was featured on the hit ABC-TV show Shark Tank, where Jeff Cohen, co-founder of Voyage-Air, was given a chance to raise investment capital to grow the company. That show helped put the new folding guitar before the public nationwide.

However, many were surprised that Cohen turned down the offer and walked from the Sharks. Recently, America's Best magazine, devoted to small business and entrepreneurs, did a story on the Shark Tank experience, fishing for comments from Cohen in particular.

"There’s something powerful about saying no. I actually did want to do a deal with them if they would have made me a reasonable offer than it would have been great. The deal was just so bad..." said Cohen.

Delbert McClinton Goes Voyage-Air

Triple-Grammy® Award winning artist Delbert McClinton chalked up the 2006 Grammy for "Best Contemporary Blues Album", and has been recording and on the music scene since the 60's. He's penned such hits as "Two More Bottles of Wine" for Emmylou Harris, and "B Movie Boxcar Blues" used on the Blues Brothers' Briefcase Full of Blues album. Last August, he released his latest album Acquired Taste to rave reviews.

In recent years, Delbert has been organizing and hosting a series of 'Blues Cruises' - a week at sea on a luxury liner with a huge roster of Blues notables.

Owning and driving a Smart car, Delbert appreciates things that fit into small spaces - especially the full-size Voyage-Air dreadnought guitar!

"The fact that you can tuck it away is a pretty big deal" said Delbert of his new Voyage-Air dread. "It's also a big deal to unlock it and have it play so well. This Voyage-Air Dreadnought, this is a really warm guitar. It's got songs in it... I can feel it. My son (Clay) latched onto this guitar right away, and on the cruise, took it back to his cabin and started writing songs on it. He really liked that you could carry it around and it plays so good!"
