Flying with your guitar is never fun. The anxiety of not having room to get your guitar in the plane's closet or in an overhead bin is a very really thing. No guitarist wants to be told there's no room for their guitar. I recently discovered an alternate method to transport your Fender-style guitar that will work with even the worst airline. I discovered this trick via Julian Lage, who learned it from Ron Ellis, who learned it from Danny Gatton. It's not a method that's viable for every flight, but it might come in handy if you're forced to fly on a smaller airplane.
