Guitar in the car (trunk)

[fbecir]

My guitar is at home or with me. I never let her in the trunk of my car. Buy a good gig bag and take your guitar with you.
If you need a good reminder, just check this Deep Purple song :
Somebody Stole My Guitar Lyrics - Deep Purple

Even paranoid people have real enemies ...

Never!

It really depends on what the temp is like that day. I mean if it is cloudy and in the 60's or 70's you would be fine. If the sun is a shinin' though and you are in some heat, no way in hell would I leave a nice guitar for more than a few minutes. Depends on the day and the temp.

Two things to consider are what the temperature and conditions of the weather are and the security of your vehicle. If you're you're not ok with either of those 2 (i.e. - it'll be warm, or your afraid of being broken into, or both) then don't do it!

Rule #1: Never leave anything in the car except your wife!
Rule#2 : When your guitar and your wife are in the car - the guitar is in the front seat!
Rule#3: Wear a helmet while writing this and your wife looks over your shoulder, damn

No way - absolutely NO WAY would I leave my guitar in the boot- trunk - back of the car!!!

No brainner - don't do it and if you do don't come crying to me saying it's warped/ stolen/cracks/sprout etc etc.

Seriously - don't do it.

It's made me think because I’ve left a guitar or two in the boot of my car loads of times, probably because I work on a secure site.
The temperature I didn’t think of though.

Sort of OT but a friend at work left a white G&L in a public storage unit for over a year while going through a divorce. Those things are uninsualted tin sheds. When he went to get it out it had turned from white to a grossish yellow. Said it broke his heart.

it's a real bad thing to do - now do 1000 lines
" I will NEVER leave my guitar in the boot/trunk of my car again"
- take it into the office with you!!

All right, you convinced me, I'll work something else out. I wasn't relishing the idea of leaving my guitar in the car all day anyway.

OK. I had my wife pack the guitar in her car and we switched cars after my daughter's concert. The school had two shows back to back, so I went to the first and she and my son went to the second. (I do hate the idea of asking my wife to be a 'roadie', I am just real happy she sits through all our gigs. ). It worked out fine - love playing the 20th! Exhausting day though....

ive got a massive (guitar sized) cool pack for groceries that i use
honestly ive no idea why you would ever buy that much groceries at once, and even if, why you wouldnt just use 5 or 7 regular sized cool packs.. perhaps they had guitars in mind, though i highly doubt it.

... anywho... keeps the guitar at a moderate temperature all day long
maybe ernie ball should start making them

"big poppas coffin sized sandwich coolpacks"
"big poppas temperamental coffin carriers"
"big poppas temperamental coffin sized logistic packages" ?

what you guys reckon?

I smell a tie in with the grill accessories.
