Hey, all you rockers out there, this is Dave Menicketti from Y&T, and you're listening to The Vinyl Guide with Nate Goyer. Turn it up.

Well, hey, everyone, welcome to this week's episode of The Vinyl Guide, the weekly podcast where we talk to the artists behind the records we love and collect.

And this week, I am super duper stoked. We have one of my childhood heroes on the show, Mr. Dave

and seen the pictures of guitars that go on an airplane,

and when they reach the destination, they're in absolute pieces.

And it's disgusting, and it can happen to you.

I mean, look, baggage handlers, they don't care about your guitar,

so your chances of having your guitar safely reach the destination are not 100%.

So how do you circumvent this?

Will you get a voyage air guitar? Now, the neck folds down

for easy travel, and when you reach the destination and you want to play, just simply open up the neck
