Well, after much relief, all three guitars I was worried about made it to Indiana pretty much unscathed! I was shocked to see my Gurian come right off the truck just wrapped in a furniture pad, but even more surprised to see it in the exact same condition I left it in. My only concern is my Schramm classical. It arrived in the same shape in the case, however I think the humidity in the truck or warehouse may have affected the action a bit. Is this possible? The action seems just a little higher than it was before...not a lot, but just enough for me to notice. Is there any way to correct this? I've had it sitting in the house for 4 days under ideal humidity and it hasn't gone back. Any other ideas? Cheers! John |

John, great news! Id probably wait a bit longer, maybe a week or two before even considering changing anything. BTW, where in Indiana? Your close enough to maybe attend the MGL Meets? |

Welcome to Indiana, John. Let me know when you can make it to Warsaw for some golf at Stonehenge and a few beers in the shop! BTW...I'm delighted that your babies arrived safely. Wish I could answer your issue about the action...I'm sure someone will have the solution. |

I have the same problems when we leave from NH and go to Key West for the winter, Goes from low here to high there and settles down a bit after a few weeks, so just let it rest a while and it should be fine. |

John great to hear that you, family and guitars all made it safe. I bet just let the woods and guitar settle in proper cool and humidity awhile will correct the problem. If not, can be a relative easy fix. Stan |

Great news John. Let it sit a while, I'm sure you are going to be plenty busy getting your house and shop together anyway. |

Glad you got them back in good shape. Isn't this forum great! You've got people on the other side of the planet worrying that the removalists are treating your guitars right. |

Thanks JJ, I haven't even unpacked my clubs yet, but as soon as I do I'll really be itching to play. I drove past the Boilermaker golf complex yesterday and started having withdrawls hard. Cheers! John |

Thanks for all the well-wishes guys! Boy, with a good case I think it would be really hard to damage a guitar. Cheers! John |
