Default Acoustic Guitar in a 991.1?

And now for the craziest question off the day:

Will an acoustic guitar (in a soft carry bag) fit inside a 991.1? Either front or back seats? I’d like to take out the Targa for a ride since the salt’s washed off the roads; however, don’t want to make the trip twice. Not near the car at the moment as it’s stored off site.

Picking up a little something something for the 22-month-old...

Yes - I can fit in the back seat or in the front seat footwell sticking up and over the front seat. A bass guitar will also fit but it's a puzzle in the backseat - easy up front.

Must be hard on your back after a few miles.

Yes easily. Hard case, or soft.

Yes as I recall, although it has been over a year since I traveled with a guitar. A hard shell case Martin or Gibson dreadnought will fit in the front seat upside down for sure but the guitar will move around more in corners. A soft case gives a little more room and would likely fit with the wide part of the case in the foot well. A guitar will also fit in the back area, but at a bit of an angle not straight across which may cause a problem with a comfortable passenger seat location. A Fender Deluxe Reverb fits in the frunck too!

I fit a 24 fret bass in a hard case into the front passenger seat of my 911 all the time. Why drive my truck to music practice... lol

I once fit three acoustics with their cases, and an amp in my Turbo. It’s that kind of experience that you just look at and admire the usability of the car.

My 12 string Yamaha Eterna in a hardshell fits in the rear seat. I wrap it in an elevator moving blanket to prevent it from scratching or scuffing anything otherwise it will damage it. Also nice to know is a Fender Blues Junior amplifier will fit in the frunk standing up no problem. Jam on!

Pretty much any guitar or bass will fit in the front passenger footwell, assuming there’s no front passenger. Even more room if you have a cab 😉. But the rear shelf is plenty for a six string.
