Going back to the USA for two weeks....
....feels kinda wierd. Been in Shanghai for the last six months and it's becoming home (now that's even wierder!). Hope I remember how to drive!
It'll be good to see family and friends again, and especially to pick up my new guitar!
Hoping it has lots of new songs in it when I return to China....
Cheers to all, I will be a very occasional voice for the next few weeks.

Hey All,
Well, I'm stateside, my new Breedlove 12 string is fabulous, but the airline lost the guitar I brought with me!
To say that I am pissed off would be a disservice to urinators everywhere. Currently missing is a one-off, custom-made electric 12 string (Yes, I am a 12 string junkie!)
But other than that, and the cold rain here in SC, it's great to be back!
Family and friends make up for a lot of airline BS, but I sure as hell hope they find my axe!
Thanks to all for the kind wishes, keep your fingers crossed that they find my 12.
Kurt

How did they lose your guitar? Did you have to check it in a flight case? I've brought a guitar on a plane but it was a cheapie I got in South America...they put it in a closet on the plane. Are they going to reimburse you for the guitar?

Well, it was checked thru, in a hard case, with a fragile sticker and apparently either a "lose me" or a "steal me" sticker as well. As for reimbursement, I'll cross that one when they stop looking for it.
This is my worst experience since the last time I flew internationally....that time my computer was stolen.
Ya gotta wonder why I keep flying!

Here's a hard to believe update!!!
The airline found my guitar, three days later, at an airport that was not even remotely included in my itinerary....I would classify this in the miracle zone!
It was delivered none the worse for wear, although the case was a bit dinged. I have to thank one dedicated individual at the airline for his dogged pursuit on my behalf.
Crisis averted, karmic balance restored....PHEW!!
Hope everyone here at IAC never has to go though an experience like this, it was truly nerve wracking.
One more week stateside and then back to CHINA.....I'm hand carrying my new guitar, no checking of the instrument this time!

I'm breathing a sigh of relief for you, Kurt.
Yeah, they can give you the money to buy a new guitar, but they can never replace something like that. It's a part of you. Hell, my guitar is only "worth" about $500 MAX, but it's absolutely priceless to me.
Hope you're having a great visit back home and that you have a safe, and less eventful trip back to China.

SERENITY NOW...insanity later...
Glad they found your axe, Kurt! I stopped taking guitars on airplanes when they stopped letting me shove them into the coat closet.
