Hey Y'all,
I've got 2 tours coming up in Europe this year and I'm looking for something that weighs 50lbs or less in a case I can fly with. My Show Pro weighs 77lbs in its case and I just can't afford the overseas flight costs. I've seen a few keyless Willams S-10 or 3/4 bodies move thru in the past year and would be interested in something like that if I could find it used. 50lbs or less is a must!
(no, I am NOT interested in trading my Show Pro  )
Thanks,
Luke

| Hi Luke, I'm not sure that keyless means lighter. I love keyless guitars, but if you're looking for a lighter weight, you should probably research the brands that are built to be light. I have a D10 Carter that plays and sounds great. It weighs close to 60 pounds in the case. I'm planning on getting a lighter case because the guitar only weighs 37 pounds by itself. There's a really sweet looking Carter S10 for sale at Elderly Instruments. Check it out! |

Thanks Mark,
You make a good a point. Although shorter, keyless doesn't necessarily mean lighter. Might I ask what kind of case you're looking into? I just spent $250 on roundtrip excessive baggage fees flying to Aspen and back last week alone. And that was after I took the leg pouch out of the case to get it to weigh under 70lbs. The legs squeezed into my electric guitar soft case that I carried on. Had I not done this, United would have charged $225 each way! In the United States I've found that Southwest is a little better with their policies, but in Europe (especially on the smaller flights) all bets are off... Thanks again Mark!
Luke

| Hey Luke, if you are still looking, I have a 2004 GFI keyless, 4 knee levers and 3 pedals, in really nice shape. Thanks, Terry |
