I'm really looking forward to teach EFL and I realize that it's time consuming, but I can always find time to have music in my life.

I'm asking this because I play the guitar, and I can't live without it. When I studied abroad (in Mexico) I took my classical guitar with me. My electric guitar is too valuable for me to travel with (it's an American Standard Stratocaster) and it's like my baby.

I'm not putting any country down, but when I travel to ANY country, I am really concerned about theft. I can't live without my guitar there's no way I'm taking the nice one.

I wonder if anyone on these boards has had a similar dilemna? How do you deal with it? Did you just get a relatively inexpensive one there? I hope someone understands how I feel.

Music is such a big part of my life that the guitar is like another limb to me.

Thank you if you can help.

don't fret about the frets. Every country on earth barring perhaps Burkina Faso sells guitars. Take it from me, 1 day in Ouagadougou I was disappointed in Crying or Very sad

a music store.

There's quite a nice music store in Nova Centro, a big commercial area in Guadalupe, San Jose.

How much do guitars cost in CR, relative to the US? 25% of the American cost for the same type and quality of guitar? 50%?

I too wanted to bring down my Yamaha classical, but thought that I'd be better off buying one in CR as a souvenir, especially with the stupid baggage fees the airlines are hitting us with these days.
