Never understood the "I'm going on holiday this weekend, anyone know any good guitar shops near X?" stuff either. Browsing guitar shops (other than proper "legendary" ones) is pretty dull in my experience.
Before family life my holidays were either with my mates and ended up being a big piss up abroad (don't miss that tbh) or going somewhere mountain biking which I do miss. Too expensive to take all 3 of us to Whistler for a fortnight though, plus I dont think they'd enjoy it
That said, I was staying at my son's in the US in April when my wife came back and told me that somebody down the road was chucking out some junk at the side of the road, including a guitar.
I casually strolled down there about half an hour later and it was gone.
It'll be superglue on the fingertips and 3 hours practice as soon as I get home.
No, we go to Spain every year to my inlaws, I left a 1960's Ibanez acoustic there I bought for £17.50.
It's a nice old thing and I look forward to seeing it once a year. It's a break for normal playing, gigs, learning endless cover songs or working on original songs. I just take a few classical songs to work, it's nice.
Here's me last year, going back in a few weeks!
EDIT - that background is the Cicada's, bloody noisy things, impossible to do a quiet recording over there....
Cheap(ish) headless type, like a Hohner or wooden Steinberger Spirit. I've taken my Hohner on the train quite a few times when visiting. (I always feel a little safer from tuner/headstock breakages with this.)
Or a Traveler like Stratman mentioned on the previous page might be good. (If you can find one.)
