Travel guitars-which one?

[mini me]

Do a fair amount of travelling with work and am looking for a decent travel guitar. Ideally a folding type to fit in travel bag or over head locker. Seen this particular one which has caught my eye but can't find any reviews. Any ideas? Or alternative suggestions? Not looking to spend too much if poss. And ideally want as acoustic as possible to avoid the need for an amp. Am open to suggestions though. Any help gratefully received.

I have one of these...

They do acoustic versions, but mine is electric and I run it through a Korg Pandora (about the size of a box of matches) so I have effects, drums, tuner, etc.

I think it's a brilliant little guitar. Comes with a fairly decent little gig bag and fits in an overhead locker.

Looks good. I have been looking at those too with interest. Don't seem to be able to get them at such a good price in the uk though. Amp sounds interesting. Does it run on mains or battery? And does it have a headphone jack?

I realise I could probably just google it but I'm on sofa supposedly watching TV with the missus so darent expose my latest potential purchase.

It's a headphone amp, essentially. Has guitar input, output (to an amp, if you want), a line in (to connect your phone etc to play along with) and a headphone socket. Runs off one AA battery.

These are great, really compact and light. Should fit in an overheard locker I expect.

Haha. That does look like a lot of fun but sadly if I was spending that much. I wouldn't be putting it in my luggage! The Mrs is now beginning to twitch though so well done on that front.

Anyway, it appears to have one too many strings, and you know how Ryan air are with there baggage allowance. God knows how much that extra string could cost one.

stuff about amp

That looks really quite good and potentially would allow for a more electrical installation. I like it. That's just the kind of feedback I'm after. Cheers 🙂

Are the how ever many hundered song themes any good? Not that it's important but sounds like fun!

Alas, it would appear that said titchy amp is discontinued, at least as far as I can tell. Must be other similar things available though. Hadn't really considered this as a possibility.

These days you can just use your phone and an amp modelling app.

That does look good. Thanks for the links.

I just use a squire mini... Cost me 30£ take the neck off, stick both parts in my bag in the hold nd then bolt it together and string it up when I reach my destination (takes about 10min-15min). Works well for me.
