Excerpt from Always Pack Tissues:

“Why Would Anyone Want a Folding Guitar?”

Alright, I get it – the idea sounds completely gimmicky, right? A folding guitar? How would that even sound?

Here’s the thing – just like any product I promote on my website, the Journey Instruments team comes from a place of heart and hard work, and they know the struggle of flying with musical instruments.

That’s why they lobbied on Kickstarter for years to get their start (they are now veterans 15 years in the game!). They saw a problem and sought to fix it. And boy, did they.

In order to change the way you travel with musical instruments, they had to identify the issues:

• Broken guitars in transit
• Hefty airline fees for checking bags
• Waiting for bags, eating into connecting time (or touring time!)
• Lost luggage ruining a vacation or postponing a gig

and ultimately, the ANXIETY of flying with a guitar can be too much too bear, especially when yours costs well into the thousands of dollars.

Luckily, Journey Instruments has built a travel guitar that folds into a carry-on so you can slash all those bullets off this list, AND the price too.

At just over $400, my “Puddle Jumper” Sitka guitar stays with me in transit packing easily as a carry on or under seat bag…
