Guitar Advice??

[joshulator]

I'm thinking of getting a guitar for travel purposes. Specifically, it will be spending a lot of time left inside my car during hot Texas summer days. I'm concerned about warping and other damage to the guitar. Any advice on what kind of guitar would best withstand the heat? Woult a bolt-on fare better than a neck-thru or set neck? Or perhaps a particular wood type?

Maybe one of those aluminum (necked) Kramers from decades ago?

Or something out of carbon fiber?

Knowing Texas heat, I think you are looking at a dead guitar if you get wood.

Find a Switch guitar they suck but heat/cold will not affect them.

What does extreme cold do to them?

What does extreme cold do to them?

Well i guess not too much by it's self, except the change in temp and humiditiy can cause neck warping and bad tuning stability, but the main one is if you take a warm guitar into a cold temp like outside, or vice versa, either the finish or the wood (depending on cold to warm, or the other way around) warms up faster, and expands, and the finish will crack!
