I'm retiring to another country, and I'm planning on "muling" three guitars over the next months while I visit and make final details -- I thought I would take the rosewood board guitars as checked luggage 'cause where I'm going, in over thirty years, I've never had my baggage inspected ... and I am scrupulously honest. (I'll ship another couple with the furniture.)
And I've muled five guitars as checked luggage and had a case damaged once but never a guitar. It's the cheapest way to ship while FedEx and DHL want between $400 and $1,000 to courier a Les Paul where I am.
My Standard 80 has a first-generation Protector case, and I've honestly considered muling the case back and forth with three waves of Les Pauls 'cause it's bullet-proof -- the re-issue cases can all go with the household goods. But the re-issue cases are part of what makes a True Historic, for example, valuable and I don't want them stolen or lost.
Opinions? Advice?
