Blackstar Carry-On Deluxe Pack review

A travel-sized electric guitar and blackstar fly3 practice amp twofer that'll give any player a little wanderlust.

Guitar World Verdict

Small but perfectly credible, the Carry-On is a fun little guitar that's dead serious when it comes to practice. This and the Fly 3 makes a great little on-the-go practice rig.

Simple design, well-executed.

Very portable, uke-sized proportions.

More than respectable tones for practice.

Good value.

Not much but it lacks a little bite.

In what is probably the most hopeful product launch of 2021 so far, Blackstar has announced the Carry-On travel guitar. It’s certainly a forward-thinking introduction and here’s hoping we’ll be able to travel somewhere before the end of the year! Timing aside, the Carry-On is a credible example of the downsized travel guitar. 

Designed in the UK by Blackstar in association with the master luthiers at Gordon Smith Guitars, and made in China, it’s certainly small, centring on a 527mm (20.7-inch) scale length and a ukulele-sized body that measures approximately 211mm across the lower bouts; body depth is 39.5mm. 

It has a natural matt finish to the back, sides and neck, and the top is not only glossed (in a choice of Vintage White, as here, and Black) but also bound with a tortoiseshell-like plastic. The same plastic is used to bind the fingerboard and around the lightly back-angled headstock, which features full-sized enclosed tuners. 

Overall length is 747mm and it weighs just 1.79kg. The Carry-On is made from okoume and has a 19-fret laurel fingerboard. The fret gauge falls into medium-to-jumbo territory and the fret tops are pretty well-fettled, the fret ends actually sitting over the edge binding.

Despite the reduced scale-length and the miniature size, the neck is actually full size with a conventional nut width that measures 43.43mm and a neck width of 52.2mm by the 12th fret. The well-shaped full C profile has a depth of 20.2mm at the 1st fret and 23mm by the 10th fret, before the neck curves into a pretty classic domed heel.

Clearly, then, this is a set-neck guitar, the neck joining the single-cut body just past the 15th fret. The string gauge is heavier than you might be used to (0.012 to 0.054), but this extra weight compensates for the short scale, even though the perceived tension veers on the slightly floppier side.

That said, with regular string spacing (35mm at the nut, 51.5mm at the tune-o-matic bridge) it really plays rather well and there’s even a wheel-style truss-rod adjuster at the base of the neck to ensure the optimum setup, while the strings are anchored through the body in offset Tele-style ferrules.

Sound-wise, it does sound like an electric guitar – certainly good enough for practice. There’s not excessive bite, you’ll find a reasonable depth to the voice, the coil-split is rather good and the volume and tones work effectively. Pint-sized but pokey!

Surprise! Blackstar has released a travel guitar called the Carry-on

The 20.7" scale electric guitar is available now with three different package options

We didn't see this one coming – Blackstar has unveiled its first guitar; a travel-sized electric called the Carry-on that arrives just in time for Christmas.

Designed by Blackstar in association withe the UK's Gordon Smith Guitars, the 20.7" scale Carry-on is made from a single piece of Okoume wood (aka Gaboon mahogany) with a set neck construction and aims to retain the playability of a full-size electric guitar .

Top acoustic and electric travel guitars for musicians on the go

While the last few years have seen a growth in the acoustic travel guitar market, few companies have offered much in the way of electric options. Which makes this move by Blackstar even more interesting. 

Available in Jet Black and Vintage White finish options, the Carry-on also features a coil-splittable mini humbucker for added versatility – activated via the volume control.

The Vintage White features tortoiseshell binding with a matching scratchplate and the Jet Black features cream binding with black scratchplate. 

The company describes Okoume as a "bright, lightweight tonewood with a more open grain than mahogany". The single-piece construction for wood and neck is to allow balanced reverberation from an even grain match running through the Carry-on guitar. 

The 19-fret fingerboard is laurel and the Carry-on also features a Tune-o-matic-style bridge and 1:14 ratio tuners.

Want to say thank you, blackstar carry-on electric guitar - review, continuing with my mid-week mini reviews of smaller guitars that may be of interest to ukulele players, i realised that everything so far has been for the acoustic fan. let's change things up with the blackstar carry-on electric..

5 comments :

Is the fretboard radiused or flat? I can't seem to find any mention at the mfr's site. Have a fun 'holiday' with your family!

FYI, I see Blackstar do sell a cheaper version of this, ~£150, marked Carry-on on the faceplate, same scale length, but with a bolt-on neck, so taken apart it would fit in carry-on luggage. It's half the price of this one, has a humbucker pickup without a coil-split function, no scratch plate or body binding, no gig bag but it fits in a baritone uke gigbag.

Apparently, it also has the radiused fingerboard.

Thanks for the informative review,coincidentally I’ve just shelled my hard earned on a blackstar carry on bass. Full size basses look daft in ukulele groups. Good to know it’s got a bit of pedigree behind it.

Please leave me a comment!

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Arrow showing the direction of metro line 1 and 2

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.

An excellent read! Thanks for much for sharing the Russian metro system with us. We're heading to Moscow in April and exploring the metro stations were on our list and after reading your post, I'm even more excited to go visit them. Thanks again 🙂
