Are there any accessories come with this guitar? And is this size of a guitar allowed to be taken on a flight? nd a

No Accessories (for example:case or neck adjustment wrench) come with this guitar. This is a full sized acoustic guitar which means that it will totally fill up one overhead bin in an airplane (I am assuming a fabric "gig bag" will enclose the guitar for ease of carry) passenger cabin. Given the nature of air travel these days, securing that whole bin for oneself is probably unlikely. The flight crew may be able to find a place to put the guitar inside the passenger cabin for you but that is totally dependent on their cooperation, the particular aircraft and the number of passengers on the flight. If the guitar is relegated to the baggage compartment, the chances of it surviving the trip inside a gig bag intact are very small. If having a "carry on" instrument is important, than a "Travel Guitar" like a Little Martin or a Washburn may be a better choice. Yamaha makes a "Guitar-uke" which is a cross between a guitar and a ukulele that will fit in an overhead bin. In the past, I have traveled with a ukulele or a mandolin to have an instrument with me that did not take up a lot of room inside an airplane. If a full sized acoustic guitar is absolutely needed for the trip (as in, there is a paying gig on the other end of the trip) and the guitar would have to be in checked baggage, then an ATA rated hard shell flight case is the answer. These cases would much cost more than this guitar but that is well worth it if you play music for a living. If you play for fun, I would downsize the instrument to increase your chance of keeping it with you in the plane.

Sorry I'm late responding. Since the guitar is inexpensive but receives very good reviews I'm very happy with it then get yourself a universal soft sided carrying case. They're available on ebay.

no. It's a really cheap gig bag with little to no protection. It is kind of a tight fit so consider purchasing a new bag for your guitar if you are concerned about the guitar damaging. Please note that the title is not accurate because I only received the guitar, gig bag, cloth, instructional dvd, and tuner. I sent it for replacement and it came back with the same items missing. I returned both of them. I'm not sure if they fixed it but I wouldn't buy this guitar package if you are expecting the whole deal.

You know if this guitar case doesn't fit you can always take the styrophome that's inside of it apart and it will fit. I own a BC Rich NJ Flying V guitar and it didn't fit inside this case because my headstock was too wide, so I started looking at it and I took the styrophome off, next thing you know the guitar did fit inside. You will have extra access baging from the gig-bag but at least you will have a guitar case to protect your flying-v and take it anywhere you want to go.

Hi Dan, I am not sure. I am in Dubai now and my guitar is in Colorado. When I got the guitar I immediately took it to a guitar shop to have it set up. The owner of the shop was somewhat dismal to see this guitar and hear of the price that I paid. He said he could no longer afford to sell guitars because of these prices. He told me that he could not make a guitar like this for even close to what I paid. It is a very nice instrument. I haven't played much but plan to do so when I return to the States. Sorry I couldn't help out.

It does come with a gig bag, but it has no padding. I reccomend the Stagg STB10-C3. I have both if you would like to order them. BTW, I think the Cordoba Protege is the best bang for the buck in student level guitars. You can buy better ones, but not at this price point. Thanks!

I couldn't find just fit one. I usually use ordinary hard case when I do plane trip. First, remove the bottom bolt of the guitar, then put it into the case and stuff something into the space. I usually notes, books and towel to fill the space.

The guitar has an attachment for a strap at its back, but it does not have one to attach the strap to the front. Very strange. Sorry to be so late getting back to you. The guitar is not in my possession. I gave it to my grandson.

No, unfortunately it doesn't come with a "gig bag". Most high end Gibson, Fender, etc...guitars will come with a hard shell case. Most medium price range guitars will come with at least a "soft shell or what's know as a gig bag". As this instrument is on the lower rung "price wise" Epiphone offered neither. It's an AMAZING guitar...well built, incredible sound (a bit on the "bright" side), with a smooth easy breezy neck action. Well worth much more money than Epiphone asks for it. So, don't let the lack of a case dissuade you from purchasing it!! You can get great cases (hard shell or soft shell) on Amazon, American Musical Supply, Sweetwater, or Guitar Center for a very reasonable price.

It was shipped from Japan in a soft case- Martin brand. This is the finest "baby" model I have played-ever. Hard cases are abundant and will fit either the Taylor or Martin babies. If you travel and need to check the instrument with the airline, bus, etc. Then a hard case is a good investment. Otherwise, the Martin case is really a well padded gig bag with lots of storage.

I am adult and not a beginner and I use it as a travel guitar. If this is your only guitar, I recommend a full-size guitar. But if you want something small to knock around with, travel or practice with when you are away from home, it's a good choice.

Yes. Can be tuned to standard guitar. Has a little more "play" in the strings, but works fine. That is how I choose to tune and use it as my travel and learning guitar.

I doubt you can get by security with it since it's so big, but it's built so well checking isn't an issue. I've taken my guitar on several flights with no problem. One unlisted perk to this case is that it looks *very* similar to traveling gun cases. In fact, multiple TSA reps thought it was a gun case. The reason this matters is that they may treat guitars like crap, but it turns out many of the agents have an affinity for guns/recreational shooting, so they actually treat cases that may be gun cases with extra care.

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.
