If you’re traveling by car, don’t make your guitar ride in
the trunk. It’s much safer in the back seat because most car
trunks are neither heated nor ventilated, so the temperatures
can fluctuate wildly. Freezing or overheating your guitar is
an invitation for a crack or warp to occur. Your guitar is
assembled with glues that can be affected by heat causing
breakdown and loosening of glue adhesion. Most commonly
affected is the bridge.

Air travel has become the most popular mode of commercial
transportation, but protection of your instrument is important.
Airlines don’t set out to damage guitars intentionally, but a
conveyor system can’t tell a guitar from other baggage. Airlines
may consider a guitar to be too fragile for their handling and
may require that a waiver be signed which limits or removes
their liability. Don’t sign such a document if you can avoid it.
Even a hard case can’t always protect a guitar from damage
from mishandling by individuals or commercial carriers.

Occasionally you can bypass the usual baggage handling
system by asking to take your guitar to the boarding area
where it can be tagged and hand carried to the airplane.
Upon arrival, notify the flight attendant or customer
service representative and try to retrieve it at the gate.
Not all airlines give you this option.
