Rather than worry about size, I worry about what humidity and temperature changes are doing to any wooden instrument you hit the road with. I go out and play in the parks (or find an abandoned conference room) to avoid shoes thrown at the wall. The side benefit is that on a bad day I make enough to pay for lunch. On a good day, the whole crew eats for free.

When I asked about a case for mine, the manufacturer rep said "just bolt a handle to it." It is tough and so incredibly stable. Never goes out of tune, intonation is spot on, perfect for alternative tunings, better resonance than wood and you could use it as a boat paddle, pull it out of the water and play it.

The guy in the video does not have his set up right IMHO, but you get the idea.

NERD ALERT - here's the best set up I've seen and David is who turned me on to these for a travel / gigging set up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWdF_CPXngw

I remember the night before OE started for me when I first got hired. I had to get up at 0500 and some knucklehead in the room next to me was playing the guitar at around midnight. It didn't sit too well with me. I threw my shoe at the wall, but it didn't seem to help

You should have called the room and pretended like you were the FBI and were going to arrest him for pirating Titanic that one time.

Baby Taylor

I love my baby taylor, it is a perfect combination of portability and sound. I prefer the Mahogany top like this one.

I bought a piece of sh$t electric guitar at a garage sale for $5.00 and cut down the body as much as possible. I jack it through a cheap korg pandoras box wich has numerous cool effects and sounds, and also has a earphone jack. Sounds pretty good and u dont have to worry about waking anyone up! The box is very small and lightweight.

I just got the Washburn Rover and it sounds much better than the Martin Backpacker I used to have. I would recommend getting the Rover, then using the small gigbag for the Backpacker to carry it. It's a great combo. the Backpacker case is sold at a few online stores. Also, the rover is not too loud due to its tiny body, so it's great for hotel rooms.

Washburn Rover is also sold at Best Buy. It comes in it's own case, fits in the overheads with room to spare.

K-Tone electric. Cheap, strong and fairly good sound. Change the tuning heads though...they suck.
