I want to take back a couple of 6 string guitars to China in August and am looking for a gig bag that will protect them as I carry them onboard. It can't be too long or bulky or the airlines people will demand I throw it in the cargo hold. Backpack straps on the bag would be a help.
A hardshell case which holds two guitars also might work if it is not more than 25 lbs. and can be locked. If you have any suggestions please note them.Thanks, steve t |

Steve, have you gone to the SKB website? They have all kinds of configurations. Martin.

Assuming that they are small steels: a soft Bow or Shotgun case would probably work great for this task. What size are these guitars?
Just DO NOT travel with a cittern! You never want to tell the people in Customs you have a Bazouki in the case.

Can you "un-bolt" the necks?
If so, they might fit in a suitcase between towels.
And the duty on "parts" might be cheaper.  |

Steve, I have one I never use, I think it is has Peavey's name on it, probably made by Kaces or TKL. I'll dig it out of the closet later and let you know the size etc. I may as well sell it.
