HI!  Welcome Back.  Don't think we've met, which means you've been gone a LONG TIME!  Good to see old members coming back to join the new ones. 

Some airlines will let you, others won't.   United considers them irreplaceable items and wont even cover damage at all (clearly I won't have any instruments with me in LA as my company's got me flying evil United).   So, check with the airline you're flying, or maybe send it out a few days early via UPS and hold for pick up at the local station to grab it when you get there?  Jeff has me convinced to bring my Martin and gate check it to FL.  Southwest isn't evil. Lol.  But remember, Jeff has plenty of guitars and a new gibson just dying to be passed around. Ha ha! 

Just a few more weeks!!!!  Whoo hooo!

Yup, but it's not "my guitar", it's just the "idea" of a guitar, with a treble clef. 

Best wishes 1#7, I hope it's a more enjoyable position for you!

My husband asked me why I was spending so much time looking at my trip information for LA when it's still nearly a month away.  THIS is exactly the reason why.  I'd rather be in 65 temps than 0 right now! 

We've got the same weather here... PA and CNY all under the same warnings.  North of here is supposed to end up with about 5 feet of snow by Wednesday night.  Luckily I'm not getting that, but every school in CNY is closed today because of the wind chill factor.  I had to rescue my garbage cans this morning.  One was across the road with the wind blowing so hard this morning.

Btw, we are expecing a high of 1 F today and -25 windchills. I was hoping to go to the YMVA and sit in the sauna, but I have doubts about my car starting in this cold and making it there with the snowy roads that will never clear up at these temps. I am thinking guitar, hot bath, and maybe taking the xmas decor down instead. Ick.

Agree.  Close the thread, information for contact is here in the event it is found.

I understand you being upset.  Out not only the money, but also the guitar.  I would be upset too.  I'd be beating myself over the head for the oversight with the signature, or rather, I'd be berating my husband likely (that's me... I'm NOT calling YOUR husband names... I WOULD call mine names though!  LOL).  I'd also be furious with UPS, although clearly they didn't do anything wrong here (I'd secretly be wondering if the driver actually stole it after seeing no one was home).  Not knowing the buyer, I'd be wondering about him as well.  I can see your frustration clear as day.  It's a LOT of money to be out especially around the holidays. 

That said, the buyer is a moderator on this forum.  He is also a close friend to quite a few people on this forum.  As another said, I would sooner believe my mother was a werewolf than the buyer stole the guitar.  Please understand that on this forum we don't allow the bashing of other members.  We won't allow it toward TopDown or Yourself.  The information about the missing guitar was already posted on this forum, once the guitar was missing, possibly even before you were contacted in the hopes that it could be found and received by the buyer.  He was certain that it was mis-delivered, and astonished that it was in fact stolen.  Who DOESN'T WANT a MARTIN? 

Anyway, my point here is... lets keep this forum as friendly as it has been... EVERYONE... and hope that someone WILL find the guitar and return it.  A thief doesn't deserve a Martin so beautiful as that one.

Coffee and Chocolate? 

Prayers, miracles, and hope for the future sent out to you and yours Joe!
