Subject: RE: travel help (with guitar)
I am well familiar with Providence and Logan. It was the United folks in Providence who destroyed my beloved Seagull.

I now own a Calton and it is the best money I have ever spent. It keeps my Larrivee nice and safe. I have checked it through a number of times and everything is nice and safe. It has also survived a car accident that destroyed the car, damn near killed me, wrecked my bouzouki. The Larrivee was fine and the Calton is just dinged but fine.

Oddly enough, the last time I flew to a gig, the ticket counter folks asked that I not check it. They wanted me to carryon and let me board early. Even in the Calton, it fit in the overhead. Folks just packed bags on top of it.

I checked out the travel cases linked above. I might consider trying those as well.

All the best,

Mick
