  • Neat guitar packing tip.

    Yes, I bot another cheap guitar. No case. But the way the guy shipped it is noteworthy. He used the hard foam insulation tubes you wrap around pipes. He sliced the foam to wrap around the body and the neck along the edges. He even but the foam over the fretboard and the head. Then he wrapped it in a black garbage bag. When I first saw the very weak box. I was concerned. But. I am convinced. This is a great way to ship a guitar, sans case. [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]
    I am a true ass set to this board.

    I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

    The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

      That would be a great idea IF you wrapped the guitar in the [img]/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]plastic bag first! Otherwise it would be a bitch to clean that shit off the guitar!

      The pipewrap is a good idea, but I still think large size bubblewrap is the way to go, taped around the guitar. A few snipos of the tape and out comes the guitar, unhurt and with little fuss.

        I like to use like, an entire roll of tape. I don't know why.

          This is the way the seller shipped my Mac to me. Had about a foot of large bubble wrap around all sides. Then into a large box. You could have dropped it off a building.
