folding/breakdown travel guitars?

<jbc> · March 9th, 2008, 11:53 AM

Can anyone recommend a folding/headless/compact travel guitar that isn't a junk toy?

Pretty much everything I've seen has been unplayable, except maybe the Yamaha.

Opinions and experiences please.

The "Traveler" brand ones are all pretty good given the limitations. I have one of these, mine looks like a yellow spaceship. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/produ...tar?sku=518703 It's not junk, it'll stay in tune, and mine sounds like a tele on steroids.

Thanks Wayne

I've tried the 'traveller', and found it uncomfortable/difficult to to play while sitting.

I've been looking at the guitars with tubular wire bodies. Any love for the Aria as-100s. That and a micro-cube and I'd be good to go.

Or do these things fall apart?
