United Breaks Guitars

Visit www.UnitedBreaksGuitars.com for case studies and highlights from Dave’s speaking tour. 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 other than themselves and finally said they would do nothing to compensate me for my loss. So I promised the last person to finally say no to compensation (Ms. Irlweg) that I would write and produce three songs about my experience with United Airlines and make videos for each to be viewed online by anyone in the world. United: Song 1 is the first of those songs. United: Song 2 has been written and video production is underway. United: Song 3 is coming. I promise. Follow me at twitter.com . Video Produced by Curve Productions of Halifax, www.curveproductionsinc.com.

To all corporate bean-counters everywhere who keep cutting back on service….
count the hits on this video and then count the customers United lost.

This is such a testament to how powerful social media is!…And also how badly the luggage handlers on MOST airlines treat our luggage. But a guitar?? C’mon. common sense, dont throw it! Shame on United! Train your employees better! That is all.
