# Collapsible Travel Music Axes Voyage-Air Guitar Makes Life Easy for Traveling Musicians By Matt Ho | Published 2011-07-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voyage-air-guitar References: [coolmaterial](http://coolmaterial.com/travel/voyage-air-guitar/) & [voyageairguitar](http://www.voyageairguitar.com/site/index.php?option=com_content&id=52&Itemid=413) Guitarists don't really have it easy when it comes to traveling, so Voyage-Air Guitar will probably be the best option if portability is a must-have quality. Traveling on a plane with a guitar can be annoying. It costs more if it's extra luggage, it could break when thrown on the plane and you have to either take out all the strings or loosen them up to prevent the pressure from breaking them. The Voyage-Air Guitar eliminates all those problems because the neck is collapsible on all [six strings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martin-guitar), which shrinks down the size of the guitar greatly. The [backpack that comes along with it](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airback-flex) adds to the convenience, with compartments for cables and the axe itself, which tucks neatly inside. This is definitely something any musician can use when he's touring worldwide. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Collapsible Instruments:** Opportunity for companies to create collapsible versions of other musical instruments for easy traveling. - **Portable Music Accessories:** Innovation opportunity for smaller, more portable music accessories that make traveling easier for musicians. - **Smart Storage Solutions:** Innovation opportunity for smart storage solutions that optimize space for travelers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Musical Instruments:** Manufacturers can apply collapsible technology to other musical instruments beyond guitars. - **Travel and Tourism:** Voyage-Air Guitar has the potential to market to the travel industry for those who are interested to explore music while traveling. - **Luggage:** Luggage companies can integrate guitar-carrying features into their bags, making it easier for musicians to take their instruments on the road. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Travel-Friendly Folding Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travelfriendly-folding-guitar.md) - [Retro-Style Travel Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vox-apc1-travel-guitar.md) - [Dual-Hinge Folding Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-guitars.md) - [Bamboo Smart Travel Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-guitar-1.md) - [Folding Speaker-Equipped Electric Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mogabi-v3-guitar.md) - [Folding Travel-Friendly Winter Skis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-skis.md) - [All-in-One Audio Entertainment Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enya-nexg-smart-guitar.md) - [Shreddable Steampunk Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steampunk-guitar.md) - [Button-Activated Guitar Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rockdreamer-guitarbar.md)
