Wow!
A lot to think about. I thought of perhaps getting a nylon electric guitar (but GC has them more than I'm willing to gamble with), but after you guys with the micro roland, the taylor, and even the yamaha silent.
Is the yamaha silent that one which has nylon strings (a black frame), with pick-up and looks more like an electric? I think I saw that one at GC (I really liked the sound going through the amp as I played it). However that was $499 (a lot of money for something that might get crushed in shipping), but I thought it might be able to stand up to the abuse better than a regular acoustic.
