Thing is - that is a cheap flight case. It uses thin luan laminate plywood (not much stronger than balsa wood) and thin, non-reinforced extrusion. A better flight case may still have been damaged, but the guitar might be intact. Sad thing is... the RHCP could afford the best cases out there!
Should a flight case survive a plane crash?
How fast was the plane traveling? :wink:

Chris at PotR was telling me last year that while his supplier of traditional ATA flight cases has become very inconsistent, he is able to get the SKB i cases which is an injection molded water resistant ATA case. The case looks like a Pelican case. To have it fit a Rickenbacker 4000 series bass, he'd have to order 10 units.
400
I want one so he needs to find 9 others. Who is interested in getting a good weather resistant ATA case? let me know and I'll run point on this and contact Chris.
