last year I booked a week in Majorca. the travel agent said my guitar could count as my luggage. however when i got to the check in the nice lady said, sorry mate the guitar costs £85 there and £85 back.

luckily i had my car with me so i stuck the guitar in my boot, and went on holiday.

presumably i'm not the first with this problem.

the obvious thing is to buy a cheap travel guitar and put it in the attache case. the idea of not playing for the duration of a holiday- its not something i want to think about.

has anyone sorted out a cheap guitar for this very purpose?
