We have small tour in Japan. I am taking 2 guitars with me. Amps will be rented. What is the safest way to transport guitars in plain? What are your experiences? Should I put them in flight cases or those semi solid cases or what? I do not want to come there with damaged guitars.

Hi, After a long break from the guitar I decided to jump back in and treated myself to a RG2550Z in December last year (3 months ago). After reading this and other sites, I decided to take it to a local Luthier to have the frets levelled and a full setup done. I don't play in a band or gig so...

Apologies in advance for the long post and large pictures that may make loading difficult for some. Okay, starting from the beginning. A while back I was at my Aunty and Uncle's place up in Perth. There was this blue Strat-like guitar there, and it's been there ever since. This guitar...

Hey all- I've been lusting after a JS1000 for over 10 years. I actually have a 10th Chrome Boy, but well..it sits in a case and doesn't get played! I just haven't been able to afford one, but this weekend i found a used one at a GC when I was visiting family in Indy. So I figured if I sold...
