otgordin Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 Hey guys, I am flying out to cali for the new year and plan to bring my acoustic. I heard somewhere that you need to take the strings off before you fly. Can anyone clarify for me? THanks. -Vadim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syxxstring Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 it is best to make them very loose, theres a lot les tension on the neck that way and it is less likely to get damaged/tweaked. Also i would see if you can gate check it rather then when your boarding, most importantly make sure it is in a great case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 Tell them at the front counter that your going to check it in at the gate then walk on the plane with it, usually a steward will be standing there and ask if they can put it in the coat closet for you. I've done this so many times now I've lost count, if you check it in at the front counter make sure it is in a high quality hardcase cause it's going to get bounced around alot.
