It takes a strong resolve to play and sing at the funeral of an immediate family member. I salute your resolve to pay proper honors and tribute to Laura. May God powerfully bless you for that.
I’m Sorry for your loss of a dear family member. I’m also grieving the loss of my 15 yo dog. Not much you can do except look back and appreciate the time God gave you with them
Dude, Jeremy, I am so sorry for your family's loss. I have traveled with guitars and you're so correct that you MUST(!!!) stand up for your rights ie. keeping the guitar with you inside the cabin and don't check those precious instruments. There are so many horror stories of fairly expensive guitars cracking under the pressure and cold environments in the "under" storagearea the normal baggage reside in. I've checked cheap guitars before with no issue, though they were all in sturdy hard-shell cases locked after going through a security check and they were checked at the gate verses much much earlier like normal baggage. I would never take the chance with one of my more expensive or precious (sentimental '59 Martin 0-15) guitars. You're great Jeremy - We continue to appreciate your channel.
Sorry for your loss you and your family are in my prayers 🙏
1986. I brought my handmade B.C. Rich Koa Mockingbird with me to South Carolina as I would be there for 6 weeks. I used its standard case but used strapping and duct tape to make it extra secure. Left Boston and landed in Greenville. Got my luggage but no guitar. Talked to the airline rep and filled out paperwork. They told me they would bring it my motel in Spartanburg when they got it as it had gone to NYC instead of Greenville for some reason. Several days later I got a message from the front desk that my guitar had arrived and was in the office. I immediately went there and found an acoustic case. I opened it up and there was a really cheap classical guitar. I called the airline and told them the situation and and described my guitar and the special wrapping I had used. Several more days later and I got the message that another guitar was in the office. It was the correct one thank goodness but I was grateful that I had had it fully insured with the airline. Never traveled with a guitar again and the return flight went off without a hitch. I had paid $1200 for that guitar in 1980 and waited 6 weeks for it to be made. That was a lot of money back then. Come to think of it, it still is.
Sorry for your loss. Glad you were able to take the guitar with you, I'm sure your mother-in-law is looking down with great appreciation for your effort to honour her.
Glad you got to take your guitar with you! Love both songs that are in the video
I bought my dream Martin at carters a few weeks agoand flew back to California with it that day without issues.hopefully I’ll never have to fly again with it:)
Jeremy I'm sorry for your loss brother I'm glad you were able to honor her with a song from that special guitar
Sorry for your loss. Take care!
I used to fly more often than now
Simply bit the bullet and got a Carlton so I could check it at the gate. It is expensive but, it has never failed me. If you guitar/s are precious to you. Spend the money. Cheers
Real sorry for your loss. Take care! :)
Brother we are praying for you and your family. May God bless and keep your family in this time of loss.
Im so sorry for your family’s loss.
It is a good idea wrap the neck in bubble pack, especially around the headstock. If you have a hard case like this, you may have to check it in, so bubble pack the case as well. Most damage is done when the case gets a vertical /lengthways knock. A hard case like this will transmit the shock directly to the neck and top, resulting in either a split top or a broken neck. Bubble pack will prevent this. ...
Man, sorry for your loss. You needed to bring that guitar.
My heartfelt sympathy for your loss of your mother-in-law.
If she was similar to my wife's mom, she will be dearly missed.
God hold you all in His Love .
Nice case bite ninja dodge at the end. Great edit, great story, great lesson to stick up for what’s close to the heart. 💜
I always travel with a soft case and fight to get it on the plane . Once it’s on the staff always find a place for it . If for some reason ( the plane has literally no room) I gate check it and insist on picking it up at the gate . But usually if you fight and you have to fight ! You’ve a good chance to getting it on . But it’s stressful.
Marshall Brune put some tips on travelling with guitars on his channel. He's travelled with a '29 Hauser (a guitar worth well over $100,000) and had it gate checked by United without issues.
First Jeremy, I'm very sorry for your loss. And I know that guitar means a whole lot to you (as it should). And clearly it was important in your relationship with your Mother-In-Law. I'm glad it made it to and from New Orleans safely. Thankfully I've never hard to fly with a guitar, and I'd rather not if I don't have to. But this is good information regarding traveling with a guitar, and if I ever need to, that will matter more.
Thanks, Dave. It's meant so much you've been a long for the build. Your support means a lot!
If the guitar is stored in the undercarriage of the Airplane, it gets way colder than a guitar should be stored at. Finish cracks can happen and wood can also be stressed to the point of causing cracks.
Just flew with a guitar for the second time to Spain. First time I got it in the overhead bins, this time they made me check gate check in the flight to Dallas, but on the way to Madrid they didn’t even question me, they said they would put it in the flight crew’s storage.
We are very similar brother
If i lived in the States... id buy a Calton Case
My condolences.. great video! Who is the singer/artist playing in the background?
A guitar that nice treat yourself to a Carlton😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
I am not questioning your decision at all! This is a tech question: Is there a case that you would TRUST to go under the plane? Ran into Phil Keaggy in the Nashville airport and he had checked a guitar that was good enough for a concert, but was CARRYING a rare gold-top Les Paul that "would never leave his hands." Does ANYONE check essential guitars?

It was almost easier to fly with a guitar in the late 1970s and 80s. I took my guitar all over (Alaska, New Jersey, Washington, Texas, Florida). That was when they served a meal). Your friends at The Acoustic Shoppe have a UA-cam about their airplane travels. One thing I 've thought of is upgrade my credit card to give me one free companion round-trip ticket a year. The guitar can ride in the free seat. Or it's time to take the carbon fiber guitar.
