I am moving from Minnesota back to Texas at the end of July (a VERY good thing). Part of the deal which is joyfully taking me back to Dallas is the company paid for moving van. The movers will haul everything, including my guitars. There is no question my solid tops will ride with me in my air-conditioned SUV down to Texas, but due to space limitations, I have three laminate tops that would have to be loaded into the moving van.

So my question is just how much heat can a laminate guitar endure wihtout any damage?

The guitars will be more than adequately protected against any damage from being knocked around, but I imagine the truck they will be loaded into will get quite hot, especially in July. I am told after a two or three day journey, they will be off loaded into a "climate controlled" facility, awiting final delivery, which will again be on a truck, but probabally only for a few hours.

Do you think wghen I open up the cases of those laminate tops I will find sides and backs pulled away from each other, or warped necks, or some other equally horrific scenario?

Or maybe I just have to damn many guitars....
