Travis Larson incident - update

Still interested in who footed the bill for this?

I work for the airlines (not the one that hates guitars though) so I was wondering how that worked out.
 
The customer service,the care,the craftsmanship,and the dedication of all the staff at Ernie Ball/MM is simply unparalleled..Im so glad this all got sorted,and you cannot tell,that the idiots on flight i dont give a you know what,snapped the neck
 
Looks amazing. I wish the airlines had a little more love for the bags. Don't get me started, I know too much about the airlines. I wish there was a way to hold them responsible for things like that and I hate to say it, but you get the airline industry you pay for.

Unless you're going to put it in a bulletproof case I swear you're better off in a gig bag and carrying it on. Just make sure that you board early enough to get an overhead bin. It's usually worth whatever premium they charge as opposed to checking your guitar.

I think that's the way Steve Morse has always done it because the old no 1 was with him all the time. He would rather take the neck off than gate-check that guitar.

Glad this worked out. Love Travis's music. I learned a couple of his songs, minus the hard parts, so about 30 seconds worth...
