Portable guitar for practice - Snap Dragon vs Mini Corda

[Geetar]

Would love a relatively inexpensive guitar that I can keep in my work backpack and quickly practice on breaks when needed with minimal set up . I don’t want to carry a gig bag as I will be bike commuting .

Anyone have any experience with either of these and do they actually fit into a standard sized laptop backpack ok ?

Thanks !

that mini cords looks interesting. I do have this one and I will say it does make enough noise on its own without being plugged in to keep me entertained. I don’t think anybody else would really hear it. Could fit in a backpack with may be a bit of the neck sticking out.

Thanks for replying ! I already have a very small travel guitar that’s great and even breaks down (strobel rambler ) but it take too long to set up to play and tune up if I take the neck off.

I’d also rather have the guitar fit and contained inside a backpack so I can avoid any conversations about guitar when coming in and out of work.

My main concern with the minicorda is the ergonomics and playability (as well as a the unconventional string gage ). On the other hand I’m wondering if the snapdragon traxe is too bulky for a backpack . Trying to weigh the pros and cons of each! I love the idea of the EO folding classical guitar but it’s too much money for what I need it for and also may take 6 months to build.

I’m mainly interested in flying with
a guitar
The Snapaka looks good too me
and folds up to 52cm ….

(airline overhead cabin bag requirements are 55cm)

the only potential issue i can see
is the locking tuners , which i’ve had problems with in the past
cutting flat wound strings
but I reckon I could change them for some gotohs
