When we carry 75 lb packs and canoes across land between lakes, every ounce DOES matter. The well made gig bag offered pretty good protection. Some had advised that I get a travel sized guitar instead of the X20 for these type of trips but in this case the slightly heavier guitar was worth it to me.
The BWCA trips are outstanding. Living out of a canoe and not seeing any other groups for a week is mind blowing. I can only imagine the acoustics of those rocky shores. Would the Loons at night reply to you?
