I received an e-mail from StewMac this morning. Most of their e-mails tell me about products with which I am already familiar, and many of which I already own. However, the one I received this morning told me about something new: Supplies for shipping a guitar. Here's the link:

https://www.stewmac.com/Materials_and_S ... ystem.html

Those of you who make and sell a lot of guitars probably already have your shipping process nailed down, but for the rest of us, this looks like a very nice addition to the StewMac product line.

I agree, looks like a great option if you regularly ship guitars.

Thanks for posting this. I'm going to be finding new homes for a bunch of my electric guitars so this could be useful.

I wonder if the inflatable cushions can be inflated with a standard bike pump with a needle or if you have to have their pump with the conical tip on the hose to be compatible with them.

Well, if I'm going to ship guitars overseas, I think I'll find boxes locally. No sense paying high shipping, and custom duty on boxes.
