You know, it looks like a Calzone would have to be checked and I don’t check my guitar.  I use my checked bag allowance (two on Southwest) for CDs and Compassion packets.  I’m not paying money every time I fly to check that heavy sucker.  I carry my guitar on the plane every time (after that first one got a hole through it thanks to American Airlines many years ago).

Good suggestion though.  Just doesn’t fit our M.O.
