2018 Gibson SG hp
After bashing my '64 SG for about 50 years, I finally got a new one.
Can someone please explain to me why the case needs to weigh in at 42 lbs? I just don't understand this and It Ain't My Fault... Incidentally, the guitar is finished beautifully and sounds good. |

42 pounds? Yikes! Are you talking about with the guitar in it?
Are you going to also replace that ‘64 1/2 Mustang that you bought at the same time? It is probably worn out too.

Is it really 42 lbs or is that what they charged you? Most shippers have a complex formula for shipping oversize packages like guitar cases which convert oversized dimensions into extra weight for charging purposes.

This^^^^^. It's called "dimension weight" by some carriers.

Especially when you schlep it up a couple flights of stairs. It's metal, w/ casters, and bullet proof. I would love it if I was 18 years old. If I ever sell this guitar, it would probably cost $200 to ship it across country! Who makes these decisions?????? And the funniest part was the box had multiple notices: Do Not Drop!! I think you could drop this case out of an airplane with no damage to your guitar.

I was just looking at the specs on the Gibson website. It states it's a "Travel Aluminum Flight Case". Guessing it could fall out of the cargo bay at 5000 feet and you'd still have your SG intact.
