Hi peeps, it's a been a loooooooooong time since I've posted here but I finally have a bit of breathing space to start a new build and was contemplating making a small travel electric. Essentially this will be a smaller version of the last guitar I made from the course but it'd be strung through body. If you've made one and there are specific things to travel guitars I need to care about please let me know.

Hi peeps, it's a been a loooooooooong time since I've posted here but I finally have a bit of breathing space to start a new build and was contemplating making a small travel electric.

From my experience, the main challenges are making it compact while still feeling like a “real” instrument. Watch the neck joint strength, tuner placement, and overall weight distribution because a small body can easily become neck-heavy. Also think about how it will be transported—rounded edges, durable hardware, and a simple setup can make a huge difference when it’s actually taken on the road.
Good luck with the build! 😊 😊
