Latest innovation in guitar packing/shipping material
NONE!
OK...two bikini size plastic wrap bands and the shippers' label attached to the case handle. Essentially, this guitar was shipped to me in its TKL case. Was there any damage? No, of course not. Guitars only get damaged when I ship to customers in a peanut-filled, 275# guitar boxes!

I had a similar experience...except it was a 1963 Gibson B45 12 string shipped to me in a much much older case.... I can't beleive the shipping companies accept this kind of thing?

Apparently Sobell ships his guitars in a Calton case wrapped in bubble wrap.
here's a photo from his website |

That is truly a piss-poor packing job!
Glad it made it unscathed, nonetheless.

I thought I was the only one who had received a guitar like that.
A Classical guitar and its case survived such a trip TO me without a scratch, and I wondered out loud how a shipping company would accept that. Glad it worked out for you.

The shipping company will accept because if there is a problem, it's your' fault. You packed it.
Even if you pay them to pack the item, they will still refuse to cover shipping damage. That's just the way they fly. I'm surprised the case didn't arrive with scuffs and/or rips in the tolex.

Perhaps since it is easy for the shipping "handlers" to recognize it as a guitar instead of a rectangular box, they take more care? Who can say?

Wow, Steve,
That is really interesting. I had heard PhotoMatt's story about receiving the classical guitar in its case prior to this, but ... wow ... It's sort of like, how would Alfred E Newman ship a guitar via UPS? "What, me worry?" - Glenn |
