j45nick Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 There are clearly easier ways than this to get a new Gibson. All's well that ends well....... My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-1854Me Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Ouch! What did the case look like? . It was significantly damaged in the lower bout, bass side, and it's clear that the energy of impact transmitted thru and got the guitar right there. Gibson restorations in the Opryland Mall store in Nashville gave an estimate of about 1800 to repair the guitar to "good as new", and the good old airline, which initially promised to make everything good, later declined its formerly kind offer. They paid for Calton to repair its case (~$130), but the guitar became "my problem". Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
