I've seen a couple of Martin Backpackers about. I play myself but never felt the need to drag yet another item around with me on a 4 day. The longer you do this job the more you pare down the crap you haul around with you.

Last month, I bought a Traveler Guitar Ultra-Light and generally bring it on trips (except when I have Mexico overnights. I do not feel like getting it confiscated down there).

It comes with a gig bag and a "stethoscope" (technically called a "stethophone" for battery-free natural sound) along with a detachable lap rest for portability.
Great tone/sound, worth every penny. It is almost as if they designed it specifically for pilots

I agree with the above, which is why I'm trying to budget for one of these https://www.stewartguitars.com/product/stow-away-travel-guitar/ it fits in a laptop soft case. As long as you dont mind lugging the extra weight in your rollaboard or flight bag. Best part is no one will know you have a guitar with you!

That way nobody even know's they have a full cowbell set.
