Over the years we have realized that many people would like to repair their guitars/basses in our facilities, but distance becomes an impediment. We therefore recommend sending your instrument via CTT or another type of carrier. However, many people are afraid for their instrument when choosing this option.

There is nothing to fear! Thousands of guitars are transported around the world (per day) without suffering a single risk.

However, we must assume that we must create minimum conditions to ensure correct transport. The responsibility is ours and not the carrier's.

Therefore, here are some tips to protect your instrument and offer it a comfortable journey to our facilities:

1. Use a Hardcase to send your instrument: A hard case is ideal for a long-haul trip. If you don't have one like this, use your padded bag, but you'll need more protection.

2. Protect this envelope with thick cardboard. You can find them in stores like Aki or Maxtmat. A more practical and economical option is at an Eco Ponto near you. If you feel insecure about the resistance of the casing, give the card more than one turn.

3. Remove everything that is not necessary inside the case. CTT works by weight. No need to pay more.

4. Remove the ropes or leave them loose. The tension caused by the strings can break the heads of many guitars in a fall.

5. In my opinion, it is unnecessary to write Frágil; Very Fragile or Extremely Fragile. Carrier operators are tired of reading this on the boxes. However, it costs nothing to do so.

6. Protect the front area of ​​the guitar with air bags. Bubble paper or crumpled newspaper.

7. The guitar must not move inside the case, use cloths or newspaper to prevent this from happening.

8. Many cases have a small block of wood that serves as a support for the arm. If you fall, this block can turn into a guillotine, try placing some cushioning material between your case and the guitar for greater protection.

9. If your guitar is extremely valuable or has great sentimental value, try to take out insurance to compensate for loss or damage from the carrier.
