Is this the SKB Baby Taylor/Martin LX Guitar Shaped Hardshell model that has the TSA type lock and if so, is it acceptable by all the airlines?

Not sure about the locks. However, I have flown with mine a few times. Always taken as carry on. Some times they let me put in over head on larger planes. Other times they take at plane door if overheads can't accommodate. Hope this helps.

This case does have an inset lock on the middle latch. We have checked this case (locked) several times through Southwest flights and have not had any issues - with the lock or damage.

No. Look for an ATA approved case where you can use an external TSA-approved lock. I'm not sure if any built-in lock will be TSA approved.

Because it locks, it's not compliant. http://blog.tsa.gov/2013/03/tsa-prohibited-items-list-changing_5.html

It is pretty huge. I fly often (not with my guitar) and there are size restrictions for carry-ons. I think if you check your guitar at the boarding gate (depends on the airline) they will tag it and make you leave it for a bag handler to put into the bottom of the plane. I would check it at the ticket counter. This container is extremely sturdy and I wouldn't worry about damage. I would be more concerned about theft. So you want to get insurance if it is feasible.

I have never used the case to take the guitar on a plane, however the case seems sturdy enough and of good quality, I would feel comfortable using it on a plane.

You can pad lock as has area provided with hole to place lock. as far as the TSA I don't know their requirements.

The case does not have a key-lock. There is a pad-eye on the case that will easily accommodate a small lock. The hasp next to the handle is the only pad-eye. I have not done air-travel with this case so I can not speak to that issue. It is a "cardboard" side box. Might now fair too well. You'll want a hardshell case most likely.

Just returned from an out and back to Detroit, MI the TSA looked it over extensively as well as American Airlines and US Airways employees. It is a TSA compliant hard sided case, FWIW; print the TSA regulations as well as the airline policy, make sure it's unloaded (and be ready to teach them how to clear your weapon) declare it upon check in, and make sure your ammunition is in its original packaging, this will save you a ton of hassle/time.

You need to buy the start style case or stay off air travel. It's labeled 'les Paul'. Buy the right one or suffer.

This has a TSA lock. I know they have been able to open and then relock it based on the notification they leave when they have checked the contents.

Hi this is Tom Gillespie from the travel tube. We do not sell the TSA locks but many of them are available at number of stores, and many approved models fit the tube. We will be glad to send you another cap free of charge. The carabiners also work to secure the top. they do not lock but keep the cap from coming off. Call our office at 216-566-1292 to get a new cap sent out to you. Thanks and sorry for any inconveinance.

I would say no. If you are checking your guitar spend the money on a hard shell case if you are carrying it on the plane with you, maybe.

I've never flown with it, but the case is pretty rugged. There is no lock on the case, so what happens to your instrument once you check it in is questionable. It would be difficult to fit the case under a seat or in the overhead. Also, you should know there is no storage room in the case, only room for one mouthpiece and the neck. All else goes in the bell.

Yes. There is provision in the handle for a lock. I have traveled with it many times without a lock and have never had a problem. I can understand your concern with all the TSA stories.

You can put four good sized locks on it. I also recommend throwing another backup set up locks inside the case...just in case the TSA cuts yours for whatever reason...not saying its likely..but if they do, you will have spares ready to go and not have to get a new flight.

Yes there are two places for locks and I have not traveled on a airline with with but it is very sturdy and its seems it would be fine for airlines.

I answered incorrectly before. I thought you were talking about the Tactical Operator belt. The belt on the left has a plastic buckle and no metal. Should not be a TSA problem.

not positive but pretty sure this case is TSA airline approved in the case can fit two padlocks on it.
