There is now a video response: www.youtube.com Full Story: www.davecarrollmusic.com – In the spring of 2008, Sons of Maxwell were traveling to Nebraska for a one-week tour and my Taylor guitar was witnessed being thrown by United Airlines baggage handlers in Chicago. I discovered later that the 00 guitar was severely damaged. They didnt deny the experience occurred but for nine months the various people I communicated with put the responsibility for dealing with the damage on everyone …

  • f9gopguy says:

    and if the guitar was in the hard sided case then united should of covered the cost of the damage. if it was in a soft sided case then united has no obligation to cover it when there are hard sided cases he could put it in

    I can relate. A month ago, they thrashed the hell out of my brand new luggage; looked like a den of lions used it as a scratching post.

    They don’t suck, just a genre you probably don’t like, which is fair enough.

    Also, the guitar was in a pretty tough case, one of the better ones actually, thick with double padding. If the people weren’t throwing the guitar around like a toy it wouldn’t of broken. Not like they barely touched it and it broke.

    To me, the interesting thing is the democratizing influence of the web. You can basically go over their heads and take you complaint international. I wonder if this will have any long term effect.

  • lighthope says:

    Can’t wait for the video to hit itunes! You can make enough to buy a new Taylor. You could set up a link to donate to the cause.

  • Libbythebookworm says:

    People don’t seem to know that Dave had TWO cases, one hard and one soft, for his guitar. THe hard case was made by Taylor itself.

  • mihokdanny says:

    i am =]
    really good job on the song man, lol and the Mexicans too

  • triplehardy99 says:

  • jmitchellrecr says:

    Thanks for writing this Dave…you are God’s gift to all of us who have ever tried to argue with customer service reps and gotten the standard “I’m sorry but…” answers. You should make a living as a customer advocate : )

  • Dean0030 says:

    LOL. Lots of haters out there. But it’s true: get stronger cases, or don’t complain. And the rest of their songs do suck. Sad but true.

  • pyyj13 says:

    lol great vid, never flying with united again hahahahahahah

  • senorpuertas says:

    HEY DAVE, HOW ABOUT SOME TABS?

  • PaperOracle says:

    Dean0030 Relax dude . Where’s your videos? I want to see if you suck. Sounds like a little jealousy.

  • Bulletman426 says:

    Awesome!! Lovin it!! Great tune man!

  • cherrilollipop says:

    I feel your pain.
    I for one will now boycott United.
    They clearly forgot about the customer in customer service.

  • waterdragon208 says:

    Further proof that United is an awful airline!

  • pacreseltoro says:

    They also steel stuff out of your luggage.

  • 83056 says:

    Poor guy, he’s got duct tape on his guitar. LOL
