travel guitar
Travel guitars are small guitars with a full or nearly full scale-length. In contrast, a reduced scale-length is typical for guitars intended for children, which have scale-lengths of one-quarter (ukulele guitar, or guitalele), one-half, and three-quarter. Although they were originally designed as a portable practice guitar, travel guitars have been used on stage by some professional performers.

Ali played a show at 'The Hot Club ' (or something like that) in Troy, Montana. It's a music store/cafe/espresso shop with really awesome art on the walls. Who knew?
