Guitars are precious instruments and deserve a safe journey. Use a sturdy box and fill it with plenty of cushioning material (like bubble wrap or paper) to keep the guitar, and especially the neck, from moving during transport. Don't have the right material at home? No worries! Ask about our special GitaarBarbaar shipping case for maximum protection.
