Do you miss your Guitar when away on Holiday ??

McSwaggerty · July 2017

l am presently on holiday.....Córdoba & Seville. Great !
l could not resist buying a cheapo beat -up Flameco Guitar l stumbled across in a Street Market.
Only 20 euros,really quite crap...haha...but perfect for sunny evenings accompanied with a couple of cool Cervesas........

Yes mate - always miss mine !

By the way, how is Seville ?! The wife and I really fancy it...

I always take at least one travel guitar when I go away.

Never.

However I stay with family in Bournemouth a lot and they have various acoustics. So I'll noodle around on one of those. My nephew (he's my nieces husband its easier to call him a nephew) has a very nice Yamaha FG.

I go on treking holidays so there's no scope to take or borrow a guitar. 2 years ago we were on a tour in Viet Nam, a few times including a boat trip and jungle home stay the guide magically produces a guitar and plays and sings to anyone who didnt wander off. My wife helpfully mentioned I played guitar so I got handed it. I limited it to one song a 'session'. I think I did Ever Fall In Love. Jeepster and 500 miles. Funny how the mind goes blank when you have to do something now.

I miss making music.

If I was single, 99% of time off would be used to do music... though I do enjoy holidays I'd never actually pick to go on one on my own. Thankfully my g/f understands this so a happy middle ground is short breaks every now and then as opposed to 1-2 week plus holidays.

I take a travel guitar and recording set up with me. Here's a photo of it from last week in Zakynthos.

I miss my guitar when I go to the toilet.....

ICBM · July 2017

Very rarely. I admit it's partly because my job involves guitars, so it's good to take a break, but normally I just have other things I want to do instead.

I don't even usually look in guitar shops if I pass one, unless it looks unusually interesting. There have been a couple of times I've done it and wanted to buy a guitar I've found, but been banned

I used to. At the moment I pretty much despise guitars so no, not really. Miss my dogs, cats and golf clubs far more.

Rocker · July 2017

Absolutely not. We go away on holidays for a total break from our daily routines. And unless we bring the car, no golf clubs either. I enjoy checking out CDs in charity shops and wander in to any music shops I find. Apart from that, a clean break for a week or two recharges the enthusiasm for playing.....

There have been years when I suffered from withdrawal. Once or twice, when driving, I've taken a guitar. On one holiday I found myself in a group with several other withdrawalees and bought a cheap acoustic.

When working away from home for any extended period I've taken a guitar with me. That's been ok in Europe. Trying to find one which would survive the Indian climate was a challenge. I wanted a Steinberger cricket bat, but couldn't get on with the lack of body. It was @Jalapeno who suggest that I take my Parker Fly.

Nowadays I limit my playing to save my hands, so I'd survive without one for a couple of weeks.

If I was at NAMM - no...

proggy · July 2017

I can't be bothered going on holidays these days. I'm a proper miserable cunt.

stimpsonslostson · July 2017

Nope. I take my Mandolin with me when I go on holiday.

Lestratcaster · July 2017

Well my "holiday" consists of touring and it involves playing in a band!

chillidoggy · July 2017

Not any more. If there's a music shop in the area, I do feel the urge to go and have a browse, but nothing much excites me these days.

grungebob · July 2017

No never have. If I see a guitar whilst on holiday I'll have a quick play but otherwise the instrument never enters my mind.

BloodEagle · July 2017

Not even slightly I'm glad to get away from them tbh

But you manage to put the seat down afterwards, right.....?

ESBlonde · July 2017

In my yoof I took a guitar to the toilet often. Really missed it on holidays too. But now there are just two of us and I do think of tossing the acoustic in the car, but never do. I do look in any music shops we might stumble across.
Holidays are packed with other interesting things.

Howdy, Stranger!
