I've mentioned in a couple of other threads (most recently about Eko guitars)that I have a hybrid instrument made up of an Eko guitar neck and a round-backed mandolin body. This makes for a really good travel guitar, small enough to go in an overhead locker (at least pre September 11) and the depth of the body gives it enough resonance to be heard, unlike, say, the Martin Backpacker which is too thin to have any oomph.And it has a pickup. All of which cost me 75 English quids on Milton Keynes market!
