    So, on this trip I brought back a US 1979 Les Paul and a 32 track recorder. Everything got wet. The Les Paul is damaged, the front is all warped. The 32 track, I've not plugged in yet, but something is rattling inside there, I am concerned. :(

                                It's around the toggle switch on the top. I suspect it could be sanded back and repainted, if the paint were to match. I wrote to the insurance people and am waiting to hear if they will let me claim on it, then I'll see if I can get a price on fixing it. There's a really good guitar repair guy in Hobart.

                                      Nor me... I'd be reluctant to fly any US airline for that matter. I just had the song jump in my head when I read your post. I hope your guitar recovers! Iain.

                                          It's around the toggle switch on the top. I suspect it could be sanded back and repainted, if the paint were to match. I wrote to the insurance people and am waiting to hear if they will let me claim on it, then I'll see if I can get a price on fixing it. There's a really good guitar repair guy in Hobart.

                                          Check the electricals. What you don't want to have is a case where you have to replace the pickups - it would be a shame if you had to change them as you'd lose that original tone.
