I kind of want a 3/4 scale length mainly for the ease of packing in the rig. That’s why I’m leaning towards a GS Mini or another Martin LX1.

I’m on guitar 7 right now with my recent being a blue ghost flame Jackson Soloist. GAS is alive in my house. I had a Marin LX1 awhile ago and kick myself for getting rid of it.

Have you played a Journey? That intrigues me because I can easily keep it in the cab of my Taco with two car seats.

I’m more concerned with heat/humidity than I am with banging it around.

I really want to take a guitar with me when I go out, but my Gibson acoustic ain’t leaving the house. Do any of y’all take a traveler style guitar with you? Which one?

Who has done it? What parts do I need to get?

I agree. I wish I had known about them when I lived in CoS! Here's my Blackbird...even though you cant see it. Met up with a buddy from my time in the army. we bushwacked about 1.5 miles down a creek to this spot. I love being back home in NC, but man do I miss CO!

I think I’ll build my own. The price on those units are a bit high. That way I can add what plugs I want. Anderson powerpoles through a solar charger should work for charging...or just the inverter. Either one.

I think I’m going the same route myself. I have a KBVoodoo rack but I want a little extra security to keep honest people honest. I love the low profile of my rack but the weatherproof/enclosed bed appeals to me. Plus it give my dog a dry place to sleep at night.

I’m torn between adding a dual battery system and just building a battery box. My rig is my daily driver, with short trips out to the wilderness being all I can do right now. The main uses would be to run my arb fridge in camp (probably no more than 24 hours without the vehicle running) a small...
