What is your "vacation" rig this summer?

[ED_P]

What is your vacation rig for when you are escaping for summer vacation this year?

Mine is a 1987 Peavey Nitro II neck, with the original Schaller Humbucker pickup, and a Carvin single coil neck pickup, mounted to a piece of oak from Home Depot, into a classic Korg Pandora- giving me all sorts of crazy effects to noodle with while I sit around the camp fire or out on the deck watching the dogs do stupid stuff.

I spend mid-August at the beach in Abruzzo. No guitar comes with me.

When I go home for the holidays I bring a guitar (usually a PRS Vela) and keep an amp there (68 CDR). I'm home for a month, so it made sense to invest in decent gear.

I’ll be escaping to the other side of the bedroom behind my desk after work and playing through these:

Well Since I can’t leave the state. Long story but I’m on probation so when I do go to the beach or something I’ll bring this…

I don't think I'm getting a vacation this year. We're thinking about hitting Puerto Rico for a few days, and the guitars will stay home if we do that.

When going to the beach, I take my Strandberg and Line 6 POD-x thingy with headphones. Perfect, lightweight, compact, and sounds good for my travel purposes.

This year my vacation is going to feature stops in LaCrosse (Dave's), Milwaukee (Distinctive Guitar and a couple others) and Chicago (CME) so the question will have to be changed to something about how my rig changed when I went on vacation.

Oh man, when I escape to my beloved Colombia I only have 1 guitar to play and she is a beauty.

I love a good road trip and acoustic.

I got this Yammy a few weeks back in preparation for this summer.

My beater ‘62 Martin D18….

I've never taken a guitar or equipment on vacation. It's a vacation! I enjoy the destination, exploring places, swimming and trying new foods.

Epic. That thing looks like it has rocked quite a few campfires.

Travel rig will be the guitars they have at carters, gruhn, and CME. Aside from that I don’t want to see a guitar.

No vacation this year. I was at home for a year after Covid started, so this year I'm still working on getting my finances healthy again. So my regular at home rig.
When we do hit the road for some time away from the city, I usually bring my nylon string guitar. It's a cheapie, so I don't worry too much about it.

Indeed it has…a true bluegrass festival warrior that still sounds and plays great. I believe it’s taken a fall or two prior to my ownership based on the numerous repairs but it’s not ready to go INTO the campfire yet.. it’s a Maritn.

My beater Yamaha acoustic will make it's umpteenth trip to the beach in a few weeks.

 

[bildo]

I usually take my Dillion Jr. and a Yamaha trh10. Ducks make a good audience in the woods.

 

[OotMagroot]

I usually only go somewhere for a weak. No sense in bringing a guitar. But, if I did it would probably be my EART headless.

It’ll probably be my SG and Walrus ACS1 with some headphones at the beach next month.
