Hi :wave:
I'm not sure kung naitanong na ba ito, kaya itatanong ko nadin po,
ano po ba ang dapat gawin when shipping your guitar from different country?
(assume na check-in sya and in a hardcase)
some people told me you need to loosen the strings of the guitar to lessen the pressure.
^give na floating bridge need din ba i loosen yung screws sa spring ng bridge?
some people told me need mo tanggalin yung neck (depends sa gitara, i think..)
some people told me let it be
so ano po ba ang dapat and safest?
thank you po sa sasagot

here's what i personally do.
1. hardcase is a must. if you love your instrument its always a must to invest in a hardcase. if the guitar doesnt come with a case, hiscox cases is what i buy.
2. has been my practice for years, i loosen the string tension. regardless if it has a fixed bridge or a floating bridge.
3. i dont take off the neck. for me atleast.
4. i fill up the case with foam peanuts. this will ensure zero movement of the guitar inside the case itself.
5. i wrap the case with bubble wrap. sayang din if ma dent yung case. :)
6. i then wrap it with a box. usually the box that came with the case or the guitar box itself.
tl;dr: wrap it like a tank. :)

if its a bolt on, Id take the neck off, and wrap it and wrap the body din..mas space saver. the beauty of a fender

Take the neck off, use bubble wrap and lots of tape.

about sir sa floating bridge, when you loosen the string tension, syempre hihilahin nman ng bridge yung string, so do you loosen your springs too doon sa trem bridge?
