After packing, the headstock's fit inside the case should be snug and it should require some slight pressure to actually close the case. And of course, the rest of the guitar also should be packed to inhibit any shifting.]]> Guitar Players Discussion gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-travel/#post-99694 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-travel/#post-99668 Mon, 25 Apr 2005 14:10:55 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-travel/#post-99668 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-travel/#post-99651 Mon, 25 Apr 2005 07:21:03 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion art&lutherie https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-travel/#post-99651 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-travel/#post-99642 Mon, 25 Apr 2005 05:50:25 +0000
I travel with my acoustic in a hardcase. I only checked it as normal baggage on one trip and it made it back & forth fine.
I've read that you should detune the strings before air travel - I assume this is to compensate for the large temperature drop (& pressure drop?) in the cargo hold.
If the flight is not crowded, thay may let you carry on the guitar if you ask nicely. In most cases though, you can "gate check" the guitar where it will be put in/out as cargo by hand from the jetway. I've done this this several times with no damage.
Good luck]]> Guitar Players Discussion Laoch https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-travel/#post-99642 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-travel/#post-99608 Mon, 25 Apr 2005 00:16:16 +0000

I would say it's a carry on, but it is far too large... Any input is great.]]> Guitar Players Discussion ssstrat11s https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-travel/#post-8641
