I agree with Accompong. We had a well known musician from the states staying with us last winter - he asked a mutual "friend" if he could borrow one of his acoustic guitars (he has three) and it was like he asked to borrow dude's right arm. He made due with hub's electric. Very nicely due in fact - pretty awesome to hear sweet tunes in your living room played by an awesome guitarist such as he.

I digress - if you really want to do this bring down your own instrument. Hub brings his electric down each year - no hassle at all. He carries it in a gig case, puts it in the closet up front on the airplane (it'll stow in the overhead if you can't get closet space). He has a Cube Amp that he carries on as well.
