Yikes!  :o  And it could have been avoided if they had only known their own rules and allowed him to take it on board with him. Morons.

Maybe the Gibson people will read this, and offer him a brand new Epiphone.

I dunno. Maybe 10,000 Dollar guitars shouldn't be lugged around on flights. There is a reason why even people who can absolutely afford it leave their priced possessions at home and tour with something replaceable. How often have I read "but she's not touring anymore, she stays at home now". And if you insist on taking it with, buy a real flight case that won't allow you to take it on board ever, but will protect it while it is processed. I probably only have one 10,000 Dollar bass - my 1963 (or is it 61?) EB-6 - and I wouldn't travel that on a plane without the sturdiest Panzer flightcase avaiable if at all.

I don't think Delta acted/bungled/mangled like United did with throwing the Taylor about. Tough luck and inadequate protection for conveyor belt processing. Plus a haphazard approach for a working musician, he obviously relied on talking people into being allowed to take it on board. That works nine times out of ten only ...

Now stone me.

Maybe airline employees should learn their own employers' rules instead of denying something that's permitted.
