....and im worried sick. i shipped it from texas to pittsburgh so it will be there by tuesday. this is the first time that i have ever shipped my guitar and hopefully the last. i packed the case full of newspaper and the lady at the post office wrapped it in 2 inches of bubble wrap, that should be enough right? anyway, im nervous as hell and cant wait til tuesday to find out if its ok.

I worried when I had a guitar shipped TO me. However don't fret (that's a pun, get it, lol ha ha ha).

If a guitar is in it's case and had newspaper in it to prevent play (another pun, ha ha ha ha) and you have bubble wrap around it and it's in a box you'll be all set. Really.

Don't worry.

this makes me feel better. i guess now the only real problem is having to wait 5 days before i can play it again.

is it traveling by plane at any point in time?

because i heard that if your guitar is going to be in a plane that you should tune down all of the strings. something about air pressure and your guitar exploding or something...

i always loosen the strings when im transporting it. Don't need that much tension for travel.
