i bought this case thinking it could be suitable as checked baggage when flying. upon receiving the case, i soon realized that this would be completely unsuitable as checked baggage: the foam lining of the case is think and not very firm. there is also no provision for the shoulder strap peg at the base of the guitar -- which means, this peg would take the full force of a impact, should the case be set down with force. the fiberglass shell is also not very thick and quite pliable.
i could imagine this case might be useful for around town on a bike, train, bus, etc. but for flying: no way. and for this price a mono gig bag, which i own for another guitar and have checked in on flights without any problem, would offer significantly more protection.
