A good friend of mine (Guy Forsyth - http://www.guyforsyth.com/index.php ) is touring Europe for the moment. I am supposed to hook up on the Belgian and Holland part of the tour, I fixed a national radio session for him. Last week I got this mail from his European manager, it seems it isn't allowed to fly with guitars. Quote: Guy just called from the Airport and Delta will not allow him to take his guitars on the flight with him. They took apart the guitar’s that they could and packed them in their carry-on suitcases but will need two electric guitars added to their backline requirements. Johnny needs an electric guitar something along the lines of a 50’s style Strat if a Strat is not available single Coil Les Paul. P90 Hollow or Semi-hollow Body Electric Guitar – Large Gibson 125 Please make sure that they actually play, all pick-ups and such. I have updated the full backline list. Please email me if you have questions. KT end quote I offered him a T-62 and a Newport korina for the rest of the tour, but I find it very strange thing not to allow a professional musician to bring along his instrument. Isn't the whole security issue getting a little weird ?
