I am frequently lecturing guys I know about that. My regular statement is, “It’s not a canoe paddle, it’s a musical instrument”. That usually garners blank stares. It’s astounding how many people think that, especially solid body guitars, are indestructible…Oh yeah, as long as there’s a place to keep it. You can’t (or shouldn’t) just leave them in the car to bake in the heat, so as long as I’ll have a place to keep it safe, sure. There have been many trips where this wasn’t going to be the case, so it stayed home.
Oh man. I’m with you on the stay-cation. But my wife has got the drive around and see the country bug. And also with you on no way I’m gonna trust handlers on a plane, train or boat trip with my babies.My preference is staycations. That way, I can envision palm trees, warm tropical breezes, swimsuits simply by staying home, plugging in a fan, wearing my workout trunks, and watching my potted plants grow. Wasn't planning on letting my hair grow out into dreadlocks, though.
Oh, and maybe a tall glass drink with an umbrella, straw, and slice of pineapple and cherry in it.
The guitar stays home or rides with me to gigs. Not about to take the guitar on a boat, plane, or train. It's really not that cut and dried, but you get the idea.
Yup. Got my SE 24 and Mikro bass 12’ from me at this moment.My SE 594 is sitting here in my hotel room as I type this
If I'm driving to stay somewhere for a week or more then yes, otherwise no. These days I take a Taylor Koa Mini.I’ve taken either a bass or guitar with me to the ocean for over a decade. My PRS has made the trip since becoming part of the family.
This has never presented a problem with the Mrs. How about you?
