Taylor 712e electro- acoustic in excellent condition, I bought this during lockdown as copious amounts of bass and guitar knackered my tennis elbow up in my fretting arm, this certainly helped and I’m all good again so this is no longer required. She’s rather beautiful with ebony fretboard and bridge and solid rosewood body. The tuners have been swapped out to Schaller with ebony keys which are an improvement to the stock Taylor ones and look wonderful. I’ve sold loads of gear top end gear over the years on Basschat, check out my feedback. Comes with Taylor hard case and happy to ship at buyers expense.

Our work here is done.

There don’t seem to be many travel guitars from the big brands. Those that exist are from specialist builders - I believe that there’s a shop in Brighton which specialises in travel guitars. I can’t remember the name but a search for travel guitars+Brighton should find them. Assuming they survived lockdown, that is. My former boss had a folding electric traveller guitar which he used to take on his trips to regional offices. He loved it, I thought it was awful. Action so high it was like an egg slicer and the electrics were dreadful. In fairness, it did fold and, apart from the action, was pretty well set up otherwise. I had a Steinberger Spirit for a while. It was just about usable as a travel guitar (I think I got it onto EasyJet as hand luggage) but I found it a bit underwhelming to actually play… The Yamaha was the closest thing to a “proper” guitar - I didn’t care for the steel string version but that might just be me. The Nylon was excellent though - this thread has reignited my GAS for one.
