Hey thanks for this. I don't like to be without a gat for too long, but always feel reluctant to bring it to a resort as some dont appreciate it. I have an Yamaha travel guitar that has been many many places, the headstock has been snapped off and repaired twice but it survives. I have a tradition that when it visits a beach, I put a pinch of sand in the body from that beach. It was filling up quite nicely until a foolish airline women heard the spare strings rattling around in it and looking inside the soundhole while shaking it... Ouch, Sand-eyes! over 50 beaches form all sorts of places now. It has had a bunch of artwork done on it by random strangers. But nowadays when I go to a new country for a bit, I rock on up to a pawnshop or second hand store and buy a cheapie that sounds OK, then I don't have to worry about it. Before I leave, I give it to a random homeless or begger or whatever if they can prove that they can play it. My version of charity...
