ORIGINAL: Anders Eliasson Carbon fibre is not all that good. When dropped, the impact is very direct and hard and the guitar might crack inside the case without the case being destroyed. ... In all cases, make sure the guitar cannot move inside the case. There arose a dispute once in the classical guitar forum when I stated the same like you above. Optimal for travelling, I suppose, should be a double shell; with the inner shell elastically suspended in all directions. And the guitar as you just mentioned neatly held in the inner shell. ( Especially beneath the headstock and at the neck rest <-> below corpus.) Guess, at best with the outer shell being somewhat flexible and the inner stiff ( CF), in the way it is with F1 racing cars, their deforming / decomposing exteriour and the center carbon fibre cabine. A more slim version could be with both shells of CF, with inside the instrument being suspended and encompassed by a rirgid yet light skeletally fringe. - Who knows, one day in a time of super batteries the suspending could be provided by magnetic fields with the guitar truely floating yet sturdily dampend. - If MF won´t mess with the planes electronics. But then again, in such a point in time the cargo systems might have been freed from over stressed, careless or vanadalizing manual work, and you might be checking in your guitar carefree in just a cardbox. ... BTW; anyone here remember the aero neogen times when your luggage would be handled with care? Air travelling used to be quite a pleasant something. Just floating. [:D] Ruphus
