Members Jkater Posted August 15, 2009 Members Share Posted August 15, 2009 That's the one! well, I'm sure you'll find a sensible solution. Hope the Umzug goes well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ArKay Posted August 15, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 15, 2009 Should work, yeah. Thanks Bubble-wrapped guitars in the stands, fixed with 3 of those rubber belts should do the trick. Only have to make sure that the stands won't move.

Members newbuilder Posted August 15, 2009 Members Share Posted August 15, 2009 I say no problem with the blankets, people are too anal, it's harder to break a guitar than most people think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members johanneswiberg Posted August 15, 2009 Members Share Posted August 15, 2009 Yeah, bubblewrap and blankets, and you're moving them yourself (no airport handling) so that oughta work. First I thought you were just gonna put them in the stand with that strap, that would be very risky, but with added padding it should work. Make sure you fasten the stands to the inside wall though so they don't fall over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A loaded rockstand is actually pretty heavy and difficult to knock over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fretmonster Posted August 15, 2009 Members Share Posted August 15, 2009 Do you reckon... + would work? Any other ideas? How about wrapping each guitar in a blanket or perhaps bubble wrap at the body first? It seems like those bodies are going to be clanking together otherwise. PS Looks like you already thought of that. If it were me, I'd then use duct tape to keep them all together on the stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ArKay Posted August 15, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 15, 2009 I bought 10 of those... One below the spacer on the top of the stand and 2 around the cutaways of the guitars. Should be tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A loaded rockstand is actually pretty heavy and difficult to knock over.I'd pack them at the very back of the load. If you have to slam on the breaks, you don't want heavy {censored} sliding foward into them. With all due respect to the other guy: Lose respect for folks because they lie, steal, cheat, bully, etc. and not because of thier circumstance.

Members conuvial Posted August 15, 2009 Members Share Posted August 15, 2009 gig bigs aren't in the budget since I have plenty of other stuff to buy for the house. Guess I'll just give it a go and see what happens I can understand the need to be frugal - especially in these times, but you've got a huge investment to protect. If the number 50 you threw out is correct, then @ $100 per guitar that's five grand. I'll bet the average value is a lot more than $100. So to protect $15 - 20 - 25 thousand dollars +, I'd try hard to scrape up the bucks to do it right...It doesn't take much damage spread over that many guitars to add up to a lot of money. A couple of broken tuners - a cracked headstock - a smashed in control knob and pot - it could add up fast.All it takes is one idiot that cuts you off causing you to swerve hard - the load in the truck shifts - and it's off to the luthier with a blank check to get everything put right.Good luck with your move.

Members ArKay Posted August 15, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 15, 2009 I will do the moving myself with a friend so no worries there Besides, I won't have any use for the 50 gigbags or cases after the move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
