If one has a choice, it is always better to carry an extremely valuable guitar onboard the airplane. If a guitar must be checked, Karura cases offer more protection than fiberglass flight cases or most other carbon fiber reinforced flight cases. The Karura Case was designed to withstand extremely abusive handling. Karura cases have been tested to withstand over 2000 lb. crush resistance without failure. At lower stresses, the case offers superior deflection characteristics which prevent the case from stressing the guitar. The case has been successfully drop tested 16 times at various orientations from a height of 2 meters. Other case features provide protection from moisture, heat and mistreatment. Karura recommends that you utilize a case bag when checking your case as luggage to minimize scratching of the case finish.
