    @RenegadePoliceForce I am sorry about this. I have heard Philippines are the WORLD WORST place to send anything to / from………… They often get STOLEN. Ask ANY local post office or Fedex or UPS officials, they will tell you.

    @momay69 You loosen the strings to minimize the stress against the acoustic guitar top while transporting.

  9. momay69 says:

    The strings balances the neck. The neck is there to counter the string pull. If you loosen the strings that messes up the balance.

    That’s what I think But i am not a guitar expert. lol

    @cienanosdesoledad

    Yes… that’s part of the reason why I put this video up. A hardcase is not enough, one needs to pack the guitar properly inside the case as well if it’s going to be shipped or transported.

    Have you seen the video United Breaks Guitar in you tube?

    I like the song the rooster is singing and the logo on the headstock of the guitar. You are a brave man using that case!!
