I just ordered a "Hybrid Traveler" guitar from KLOS to keep in my car.
During my breaks at work I sit in my car. Lately I've been reading some eBooks
using my phone (The Transhumanist Reader, Dave Grohl's book/autobio/memoir,
Humankind: A Hopeful History, Do Nothing). I don't always feel like reading
though. I thought, "it would be great if I could keep a guitar in here at all
times despite the freezing temperature."
Turns out people make carbon-fiber guitars. They have been for some time. I
first saw one years ago at The Music Mart in State College. It was a thousand
bucks so I had no way of buying it with my delivery-driver salary at the time.
Fortunately I remembered the existence of such products and wondered if they
can endure freezing winter temps i.e. no cracking nor warping. Supposedly they
can, and KLOS in particular states this as a selling point.
I'm veritably excited for this thing. It shouldn't take too long to get here;
it's "hand-made in Utah" -- but who knows? A bunch of truck drivers might go
on strike or something. Maybe it will snow heavily and slow them down. I remain
unphased (un-fazed?). I went up at least a full point on the happiness scale
as soon as I bought it, just knowing that whenever it gets here, I can play
guitar at work. Pretty sweet.
