Video - 'United Breaks Guitars'

Sign in to disble this ad
Just saw this vid on youtube - apparently United Airlines broke this dude's guitar then refused to take responsibility for it.

I like his response

Sorry if it's already been posted (I did a quick search and turned nothing up) but I figured what with all the threads on flying with basses, this might resonate with a few people.

Share it around. Maybe the bad publicity will encourage airlines to take better care of us poor sods.

Peace out
