Flight cases for acoustic guitars--Recommendations?

[LesStrat]

A young lady from our church is going to Hillsongs University in Australia for a year. She needs a case for shipping her guitar. What would you recommend?

a reinforced SKB flight case. worth every penny IMO protecting your investment.

If she wants to spend a lot of cash (I think most go for around $500-600), most of the classical guitarists that I know have calton, pegasus, or mark leaf cases. These cases are custom built to the guitar, are very heavy, and provide great protection. Cases like these are truly flight cases, and provide the heavy-duty protection that a cheaper hard case cannot.

Hiscox cases, best around.

I'll second that - I have a couple and they are superior in protecting all types of guitars. They also do them for a whole range of instruments. Check out their web site.

Read this article before you fly with a guitar. It is good sound advise for all of us who may have to travel with a guitar.

Thanks for the article. I passed it on to my young friend at church tonight.
