I want to take my Anniversary Carmen Ghia on a west coast tour i'm organizing for November. I'm thinking on getting a good padded Studio Slip and take it with my guitar on board (carry-on). Do you think I might have any problem at all? Since its all electronics I don't want anybody messing with the electronics verifying for anything terrorist related...

The amp will fit under the seat no problem but taking the amp and a guitar on is kind of asking for trouble. You're always at the mercy of the gate agent. I fly a lot for work as a musician. There's a whole lot to consider. Is it a direct flight? How big is the plane? Can you afford "economy comfort" or something like that? That usually lets you board a lot earlier which can help a lot. If it's 2 flights remember that's 2 gate attendants to get past with a guitar and an amp. I just got back from 2 gigs in Alaska over the weekend. I've been flying my guitar with the Gator Molded ATA/TSA case. It's super strong and super light weight. With a Les Paul in there you can literally stand on the face of the case with no worry. I can't even count how many flight legs this case has logged in the last 4 or 5 years. You can find documents that say that they must let you on the plane with your stuff but it's always "at the discretion of the gate attendant" |

Surreal McCoy did and posted a review about it. It will fit underneath the seat in front of you. Maybe he will chime in.

Years ago when I was vacationing in Nashville, I bought an Rx Jr head at Rock Block. I was able to fit it in the overhead. I used their pillows to snug it in. But as Eric said, you are at their mercy.

Fly Southwest and upgrade to A boarding. They are very instrument friendly. I fly for work several times per month and usually bring a guitar with me.
