Guitar takes flight...

[korovamilkdud]

So I beleive I heard somewhere that you can't take a guitar on a flight with you without a special "flight case" that keeps the air pressure inside of it consistant, so as to not have the guitar pull itself apart as the air pressure changes. What about if it's carry-on?

The air pressure is consistant inside of the cabin.....hence the term "pressurized cabin".

If the air pressure were consistant you wouldn't get that popping feeling in your ears, that happens because there's actually air exchange with the outside air in a plane.

What he said.

If they cant be brought onto planes without special cases I wonder how they get imported from Korea, Indonesia, and all those clone countries. This calls for an investigation.

Added:That would be assuming they are not all shipped via cargo vessels across the Ocean.

Keep in mind they ship your little poochies and kitties in the luggage compartment. I think those places are pressurized as well.

the reason why people put their guitars in special cases on planes is because the gorillas (that's actually what those monkeys that throw your luggage are called), might break that **** up even in a hardshell. It's not an airpressure thing. I mean really. Do you pack shampoo in your check bag? I think that a guitar floating in the vacuum of space would probably be just fine, and a shampoo bottle would explode.

Any effect from pressure and temperature changes would be so minimal it wouldn't be worth worrying about. Particularly cautious people tend to slacken off the strings, but beyond that I wouldn't do anything more...

Maybe he's refering to an "air-guitar" . . . :laugh2:
