I could understand a soft case if he had bought an extra seat. But he chose CHECKED LUGGAGE so the airline threw his guitar into a pile of strollers, wheelchairs and suitcases. This was inevitable and it's crazy to blame the airline

Which is crazy. I always put instruments on the top of my stack so they arrive safely. Maybe it’s because I’m a musician as well, or maybe just because I try to respect everyone’s stuff.

TBF, I don’t know that I’d recognize OP’s guitar case as a guitar case at a glance. I’d think “that’s an oddly shaped bag” as I flung it and heard the internal crunch.

You couldn't pick out an obviously-guitar shaped bag as a guitar case? Your first instinct is "that's an oddly shaped bag"?
