No! I Know that you didn't just slap a sticker on the case and ship it!

Sig, that's such a cool pic. Why don't they have it up on the band page?
Good question! Maybe they haven't seen it yet, I dunno.

BTW, thanks for the CD. Seven Story Fall has some great guitar work! The vocals aren't my style, but having said that, the kids have some real talent there. And a very nicely done CD.

Nice grab.
BTW I am now having my guitars shipped from the US (in cases)just bubble wrapped and covered with a few layers of plastic wrap.
No problem so far and a lot less packing.

This may be a trend... My Tak G330 came shipped like this, and survived. I guess that if you have a good case it don't matter.
If they are gonna drop it, or squish it, the box may not help. :mad:
On the plus side... They KNOW it is a guitar, and may use some care...
Someone once said that if you use the Postal Service, your guitar will probably be the biggest thing on the truck, so they will notice.
HEY! This is a GUITAR! :rolleyes:

Plus it will be cheaper, cuz I alway put around ten pounds of padding in my box. That may be Overkill!

Oh! Rededdie... Yeah, I am getting a nice collection. But now I gotta sell something to make room.
But not this week... after everyone gets their Bushie-Money. With the minor recession scare going on, it is a buyers market.
Get 'em while they're cheap! Sell 'em when they aren't!
But I LIKE all the guitars I've got! :mad:

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains		There is a line of guys waiting to by Phil's "T" with the bowl painted to match the front, if and when he decides to part with it. I'm No. 2 in line. I think Stonebobbo is No. 1.

Location: NJ		food for thought

I once bought an old arp axe that was put in a "custom" plywood case. I sold the synth and decided that the plywood would be better than any box I could put it in. so I put some drywall screws in it and a label and off to ups I was. well guess what ? they charged me EXTRA because it was not in a paper box. if I had glued cardboard to the box it would have been 5-10 bucks cheaper to ship.

and some people just slap labels on the cases

Location: North Carolina		I suppose their thinking is that the wood box, case, etc is part of the item shipped. If there's a scuff or a ding that might have been absorbed by cardboard, the customer is gonna bitch about it.
