[A6] Road Advise

[Chris Pickett]

I have the Gator GK-261R ... it's about half as expensive as the Anvil 
cases.  Admittedly it has only survived the trip from Boston to Montreal 
as carried by UPS, but there's plenty of room for bubble wrap to protect 
the knobs and endcheeks ... I don't see mine getting damaged in this 
case.  Anybody who has this case and has suffered, please comment.
