2008 Lame Horse - Jenkins & Son Instruments Saddle Pal - Travel Guitar, Parlor Acoustic Guitar
Here we have one of Chris Jenkins' travel guitars that he playfully calls the Saddle Pal. This model features a small, but deep, body that offers up a throaty growl and a voice bigger than it's size. The neck is fully adjustable so as you travel you can be guaranteed to have great action. The neck is also laminated for added stability. If you are after a travel guitar that can fit in the overhead but offer up a big voice when you get where you're going, this is it.
Audio played by Al Petteway
Artists who play instruments by this builder: Isaac Brock, Susan Werner, Fred Carlson, Wylie Gustafson, Chuck Milner, Don Edwards

Player Reviews:
"Chris Jenkins' neck design is perfect for a travel guitar. It's fully adjustable so as you move from climate to climate you can reset the playability with precision. The Cocobolo is gorgeous and the appointments are cool and unique. This would be a fun guitar to travel with." - Paul Heumiller
"This is a cool little guitar. The deeper body gives it more bass than you might expect and the "dial-in" action feature makes it easy to get exactly the action that makes each individual happy." - Al Petteway
