I got this First Act kids sized acoustic guitar for my AT thru hike and it was a dream. I weighed it at about 2.5 lbs which wasn't the best, but it was small enough. It was only 30 bucks from Toys R Us too, so I didn't really care about it getting damaged. It lasted the whole trail, despite getting dropped constantly and getting rained on a lot. For sure I'll be getting another one for when I hit the PCT
