You also have to worry about the strings potentially catching on the box (if it\u2019s not in a guitar case), the neck getting warped or broken, and other potential damages that can occur in transit because guitars are fragile. Following the steps we\u2019ve outlined below can help ensure your guitar arrives safely to its destination.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the box, create a bottom layer of crumpled newspaper or Kraft paper for the guitar\/guitar case to sit on.<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fedex.com\/en-us\/shipping\/how-to-ship-guitars.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loosen the strings<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> slightly to release tension (not necessary to completely detune the guitar, just release the pressure). If shipping in a hard case, use newspaper or microfiber towels to fill in loose space around the base of the guitar case to keep it from sliding around.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to securing the guitar head, some professionals,<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/reverb.com\/selling\/how-to-ship-a-guitar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">like Reverb<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, suggest elevating the neck of the guitar with<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/Tips\/Packing\/How-To-Pack-A-Guitar-for-Shipping-OR-Moving-21560\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">crumpled paper<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and placing paper between the strings and the frets. Others suggest padding (not packing) paper just below the meeting point of the neck and the head to avoid shock. Still others suggest neither, so we will leave that up to you<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After adding the paper, close the case and slightly shake it to see if you hear movement. If so, add more paper to stabilize the guitar. Once the guitar is firmly packed into the case and you\u2019ve created a bottom layer of crumpled paper in the box, you\u2019re ready to pack the case in the box. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6> Learn more about shipping specialty items with our Shipping 201 <a href=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/blog\/shipping-201-a-new-small-business-owners-guide-to-shipping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> blog<\/a>!<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Pack paper around any open spaces as tightly as possible. If all of the open spaces are filled, you should have a difficult time moving the case with your hand. After the empty spaces in the box have been filled, create a top layer of crumpled paper as you did at the bottom. Tape all edges firmly. You may consider adding DO NOT LAY FLAT stickers to each side of the box to avoid heavier boxes ending up on top of the guitar box that could potentially cause <a href=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/blog\/shipping-insurance-avoid-scary-shipping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">damage<\/a>.
