Re: OT: Traveler Guitars?

The smallest commuter jets don't have overhead bins, as I discovered a few trips back, and everything goes in the hold.  I can't remember the model of that plane, some Airbus thing I think.  Finding the specs for overhead bins for a given model of plane is tricky, particularly since the airlines have zero interest in helping you.

For anything that does have an overhead bin, I've found that my 38" long case for the Larrivee parlor fits (24" scale), or a Steinberger GM (25.5" scale, 30.25" overall length).

But will they fit in the overhead of the smallest commuter jet?  They don't specify the total length of the guitar anywhere, unfortunately.   Althought with a 22.2"scale neck, and a bridge that is still a ways from the bottom of the guitar, it can't be that small. My mini electric is a 500mm scale (19.68" scale, 22 frets) and the bridge is only almost to the of the bottom of the guitar. And still it is a 29 inch guitar.
