I think Leo Fender would have no problem with this. (I've not tried it but I would.)

Yes! I have done a few times from Japan to US.... Just protect the neck well!

Danny Gatton used to do this.

Thank you Jiayang!

For an amp, I got a Spark Mini battery-powered amp for camping jam sessions and practice. I’ll be bringing this one with me, plus it doubles as a Bluetooth speaker, which is super handy!

Have a great weekend! 🌞🎸

Oh ! Mr. Spark ! Super assist for the trip practice ! Remember Richard have a spark , too .

Have a sweet weekend ! Please sharing us the practice progress anytime , Thank you Sergio !

Thanks for the tips, John! The amp is in my laptop bag, and extra strings, I almost forgot about those! Thanks for the reminder!

I had plenty of space in my luggage, so I wrapped the guitar in two jackets. I didn’t remove the strings, used a pair of socks to protect the tuners, and added two soft layers of clothes and another jacket to protect the body and the neck. Almost forgot the screws though, last night I checked the table and there they were! Uff, just in time!

I already dropped off the luggage, fingers crossed everything goes well. Once I get to the hotel, I’ll take some pictures or maybe a video to share my little setup. 😅🎸

Very cool Sergio, like a scare crow guitar to TSA :). I thought I lost a bolt in my last travel, so bag or tape..TSA has held my bag of gear for security, and I hope none of that crap happens anymore. If it were a studio session, I would for sure recommend carry on with a studio guitar. Not sure who flys best in that situation, United used to stick instruments in a special area. Cramming in overhead does work out, and yes, any space on the carry-on overhead is fair game for anyone first come first serve, no reservations. I have yet to check only a guitar in the supposed new tough cases. Safe travels. Cheers, - johno

Have a beautiful trip Sergio , It sounds like the trip equipment and the guitar & amp is have great prepare :)

I like to think it's always the right time to buy some gear! (Maybe I should replace "gear" with "practice" in that sentence!)

Thanks for sharing, Yen Tien!
It’s definitely on my radar too, I’ve considered getting something like that several times. I just need to check if the dimensions still allow it to be carried for free on the plane.

纳福 guitar ! So tiny !

Hi ! Yen Tien , I hear that Taiwan had a big typhoon , How was going ? I wish you everything is fine , Take care .

Hi Sergio, Have you come across the Lapstick travel guitar? It's so small you can actually play it on the plane! Not cheap as they are all hand made, but very good and extremely portable. I took the plunge after thinking about it for a long time and I'm glad I did. There are a number of videos on youtube if you are interested.

Wow - congrats on the successful journey!

Wow , The guitar is wearing cloth , So cute !
Wish the trip is success !

Good job!

When I played a tour with Nik West in last year... our keyboard player bought his keyboard online and he returned it after the tour! Only costed him a return shiping fee! Crazy!
