My brother is an airline pilot and he bought a real neat travel axe. It's a solid-body electric with a snap-on neck. It's a full scale guitar but save's a little space in body and headstock size. Looks like a full size when it's put together.

You don't take the strings off, you just undo the neck. Then it's small enough to fit in a computer bag.

I've played it and it's a quality instrument.

I can't think of the brand name right now. If I do, I'll re-post it.
