I'm flying cross country next week and want to take my guitar but I only have a basic guitar case. Anyone know if this is sufficient to survive a plane ride? I'd hate to get there and find nothing but splinters.

One thing I would suggest is duct-taping the case around the latches...that way even if one busts your case isn't going to fly open unexpectedly. I've seen touring musicians fly their guitars in regular cases using that method, believe it or not....
But like Macu says, if something goes wrong, don't come cryin' to me either....Originally posted by conmee

If the guitar is a Strat, the baggage handlers could toss it around like firewood and it would be fine. If it's a Gibson it doesn't take much to bust the peghead off.
I think Willie Nelson, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and Eddie Van Halen had the answer. Play pieces of shit so you don't worry about what happens to them.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Another thing...loosen your strings 'til they're slack, or the pressure changes in the cargo bay will twist your neck like a pretzel...
Or you could also get a gig bag and take it as a carry-on...Originally posted by conmee

I just took a Les Paul in it's Gibson case to Europe. Both ailines I used let me take it with me and it either went in the overhead, or the crew closet up front. Same deal with my bass player. They let him bring on his big assed coffin case.
I have heard many nasty stories about what pressure changes in the cargo bay can do to a guitar though. You might want to check with the airline about their policy.It's a shame that families should be torn apart by something as simple as....wild dogsComment
