Here's where you can get great boxes for shipping guitars if you don't have a music store that can provide them. Even with shipping they're only about 8 bucks per box and they are very strong.

yeah i have to agree since most necks break past the point where there is any truss rod, & many with OFR nuts that bolt thru the neck break or crack at those bolts. like i said my guitar fell forward if you look at the angle of the break you would swear it fell back. the strings pulled it apart not the impact.

Re: How to ship a guitar

So what guitars have you seen with truss rods that run into the headstock? We're not talking about necks that broke in half - we're talking about breaks at the nut.

Mind explaining how that truss rod protects the headstock?

Unless you're using 14's tuned to a step and a half above standard on an Ibanez. Then all bets are off. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
