My Dad's getting me a Gibson LP Standard in August in Canada.
I live in Israel and my dads flying back from Vancouver via London .
He was planing on taking it as a carry on (soft case packed with styrofoam and whatnot) but the airline told him he may not be allowed.
My question is: if he buys a hardshell case and stuffes it with clothes\packing material, will it be safe (or relatively safe) to put it in the cargo hold?
does anyone have experiance with this?
BTW- i'ts insured, so if something happens to it- airline pays up... but i'd rather just get it in one piece, if you know what i mean
