Default Under $200 guitar / bolt-on neck ? any advice ?

looking for help to find an inexpensive guitar, with a bolt on neck... I know Voyage Air and Journey have models that have a removable/collapsible neck, but I'm trying to find an entry-level guitar between 150-200, with a bolt on neck, that I could just temporarily remove the neck for travel. I have a GS mini now that I've done that to a couple of times, but looking for another option... any suggestions out there in AGF land ?

You might find one of these old parlor styles with a bolt on neck in your budget:

The bolts would be exposed to which makes them easy to access. You would probably want to put thread inserts in the neck if you are going to be removing the bolts a lot.


I would personally save up for a voyage air because that is exactly what they are designed for.

Also the Stratacoustic and Teleacoustic have bolt on necks, but they may not be the style you want. Used they are probably in your price range.

I agree, a nicer travel ready guitar is ideal... I'm looking for piece of mind, though... and want to travel with an inexpensive guitar that if 'stolen' wouldn't be a big deal... the guitar I take with me this year, will be alone most of the day, in various accommodations with 'low security'... thanks for the reply !

Voyage air had some of their base models for around 200 on eBay that were floor model/scratched that might fit for you.
