Spending time on the road with a TA?

[dannyp]

My current project will put me in a hotel for the next three months. Would you bring your Tom and leave it there or buy a Strat to leave there? I went to GC today and none of the Fenders inspire me to play as much as a Tom. What do you all think?

[dannopelli]

I'd take it.

[brokenvail]

I would say bring it. If you are really scared get a an older user TAG on CL I have seen a few killer deals recently

[pipedwho]

Leave the Leo, take the Tom. :)

I had to spend three weeks in a hotel a couple years ago, brought my TAG and had no issues at all.

No doubt-take the TAG unless the hotel you're at has no security! 3 months of playing something inferior and less inspiring will be a life of agony!!

Take it...

...but...

Find an old ratty-lookin' gig bag to keep it in...

Problem solved.

That's a great idea! Reminds me of those fake car stereo faceplates that made your fancy indash look like an old AM radio. Make the thing appear less desirable.

Haha, that's exactly wheat I was thinking when I read Pietro's post! everyone who is at least 40 must've owned one of those fake radio plates!
