Getting around the airport

You can either use the backpack option or use the handle and carry it like a briefcase. I already had a backpack so I did the briefcase option. There was place where you could put the Little Jane on your baggage handle and roll it around but for my suitcase, it wouldn’t fit. The handle was too wide. This may work better with a carry on suitcase but I didn’t use one for this trip. Something to keep in mind.

Airport Security

I’ve been on total of 6 flights with my Little Jane and it’s only been set to the side for further inspection once and that was on this trip. As soon as the TSA worker saw it, he let me go without any further inspection.

On the airplane

Easy peasy, fits overhead pretty nicely. You could technically put it at your fit in a pinch but I’m 6’5″ and that really isn’t an option for me.

My only issue (and it’s a small one)

When I got my Furch Little Jane, I took advantage of a promotion that got me a nice leather strap. Unfortunately, there really isn’t place to put a strap. Inside, the guitar could fit a nylon or a very thin strap but mine was too bulky and can’t be folded well. The pockets on the outside wouldn’t fit it as well. If you’re OK with a nylon or thing/string type strap, you’ll be fine. I just make sure there is room in my luggage or my backpack. Not the biggest deal but worth noting. *UPDATE: I figured out how to fit my strap in the backpack. Turns out the pockets are bigger than I thought!

Than you Furch!

Love this guitar, It plays and sounds like a dream and now I can travel with a real guitar and not have to worry about it getting lost or being forced to buy a ticket for it to sit next to me.

What is nice is that it will be just me and my wife for the whole week because the kids are staying with Grandma and Grandpa.  No kids, unless you count my guitars which you could probably make a good argument for.  Especially, considering how much I packed for them.  Here’s the lowdown.  I brought two guitars (Martin, Takamine nylon), music stand, a ton of sheet music, two guitar stands, and other misc things like extra strings, capo, metronome and so on.  I gotta make the practice space comfortable.   Anyway, I just got done setting up all the stuff and it’s a good thing we aren’t haven’t company because my six string children are taking up quite a bit or room.

While I’m up here, I’m hoping to find a guitar store or luthier in the Dillon/Frisco area and check them out.  I’ll just have to make sure to leave the CC card in the room so I don’t adopt another child.
