Recommended travel guitars?

My travel guitar has upgraded a bit with bat case and Noggin Rockers.



Bat case is just fit with my stick guitar and Noggin Rockers works very good. It is very Loud but it has volume control on diaphragm ring.

Never heard of "Noggin Rockers" before. Interesting.
 
If you want a travel guitar that still sounds decent acoustically, there are lots of half-size travel guitars available from reputable companies.
One I own currently is the Tanglewood Crossroads travel guitar:

I have the version with the electronics (built-in tuner and active pickup) and it does everything for me in a travel sized package.

Other great travel guitars are ones made by Yamaha such as the FC Junior and the SX Travel guitar (which KICKS Martin Backpacker's butt at a fraction of the price)

Think through your use case before buying. You'll probably want something different to play in your office or hotel than you would around a campfire.

I used to carry a Washburn Rover acoustic to practice on holiday. It was too loud to play in a hotel room. I've replaced it with a Traveler Escape solid-body which I can play through headphones without disturbing my neighbors, and I carry a mini-amp if I think I'll want to share.

If my Escape got crushed I'd probably replace it with the fully electric version of the same rather than the "acoustic". Probably not this one though. (Probably).

My Ultra Light Acoustic Electric Guitar with passive Shadow pickup and detachable thigh rest wires only 28" long and has traveled the globe with me for over a decade in overhead jet compartments for over a decade. Amplified, it has a rich natural acoustic sound.
