Man, I saw this and I couldn't believe it! Then I saw it was Detroit Metropolitan Airport & it all made sense. I can tell you horror stories about that place. If I have to fly now, I'll book out of Chicago more often than not.

^^^THIS^^^

I own a Vintage 1959 Gibson - belonged to my Grandpa who made some records with it on the AllStar Label that year.

Would I EVER check it when traveling on an airplane?

Are you HIGH? Seriously. ARE YOU ON DOPE?

Hell, I own a low-end Washburn (great sounding guitar) acoustic/electric, a low end Takamine (great sounding guitar) acoustic/electric, and the Slash Epiphone (made in the image of the Gibson Les Paul) that's worth about 1000 bucks on a good day.

I WOULD NEVER CHECK ANY OF THEM...NOT EVER.

Because that'd just be stupid.

I feel for the owner of the Guitar. Truly I do. But at the end of the day...

THAT IS JUST STUPID.

That's heart breaking. Every Gibson Les Paul has it's unique identity,she'll never be the same. Freaking Delta for ya! There's no way I'd settle for $1980 either, they'd be giving me the full value plus %20 for the trouble!
