The 17" Jammy Travel Guitar from RnD64 Has a Detachable Neck
Olga Grytsenko — August 14, 2018 — Tech
Jammy is a new super-portable digital guitar by RnD64 that fits into most backpacks and complies with airline carry-on regulations. It’s all about the neck that can be easily detached, making the whole thing only 17” long. The Jammy guitar is claimed to have the best playability-to-portability ratio, as its 15 standard-sized frets are suitable to play 70% of rock hit songs.
It has two direct audio outputs -- a 1/8" and a 1/4" jack -- allowing consumers to stick in the regular earphones or plug the guitar straight into an amp. The sound is generated and processed on board, so different guitar effects can be applied and switched among without the need of using the mobile app.
Although it's not always needed, Jammy has a companion app that widens the guitar's capacities immensely. With it, the user can play to the beat of a metronome, switch the type of the guitar, change the tuning, auto-record all that was played, or use backing tracks.
Jammy is available for pre-order on Indiegogo for $349.
