Om light? Must reply.
My gear is all over the place ... figuratively and literally. All I brought with me for our Bavarian adventure are a couple axes.
My daily fix is my 2015 Martin GPCPA5--the one with the composite top. Love the playability and tone. Have played out with it and been very happy with the depth--with the caveat if you're going to fill a space with rich tone and/or be heard over other axes (dreadnoughts, mostly) you need amplification. The GPCPA5 doesn't boom, it kind of purrs. Needs a boost if it's going to run with the bigger dogs.
I am a BIG fan of the Spark Amp--got one early before they became common and have zero regrets. The Martin sounds amazing through it. Also I have Tonewood Amp for just playing around in a quiet space getting reverb, chorus, even delay. Makes you want to play more and play better. If you know, you know.
I also brought my 2020 PRS S2 McCarty 594 Thinline - McCarty Tobacco Sunburst. Got it PLEK'D and will now never buy another axe without doing so.
Couple if things I did NOT bring are my 2009 Fender Dreadnought hanging on the all in the pic below (no idea off the top of my head which entry model), my Slingerland kit and mid-grand piano. The kit because I gave away to a young guy trying to do something really sweet for his kid brother. The latter because it weighs many hundreds of pounds and, well, just because no.

And by the way. Chris? You're the man.
