If they deliver the guitar in cold weather will it crack?

It will if you use it for a hammer. Seriously though, if you let it warm in the box for a day before opening it, it should be alright.

AThis item is not cold shipped. As the item always is kept in climate controlled facilities with us and the shipping carriers. In the amount of time it takes to deliver, it will not affect the product

Any ukulele, guitar, etc. that is solid wood may crack or split if the air in your home is too dry. Your Mele might be able to be repaired, however. I have read that if you live in a dry climate or have dry heat in your home, it is best to keep your instrument inside a case and to use a humidifier with it. For a ukulele, Oasis makes a nice humidifier. You have to add water to it, but that is not a big deal especially if it keeps your instrument from splitting. The Cordoba is a nice little uke for that price but it, too, could split if gets too dry. Good luck with your Mele. There used to be a video on the Taylor Guitar site that showed a cracked guitar being fixed so it might be possible your little friend can be saved. I hope this is helpful to you.

The guitar comes quickly and safely packed in a box with casing and secured in place & very lightweight. I have ordered two and have not had any problem.

I am using it indoor. Not sure whether it can resist the cold weather or not.

I wouldn't think so. It is made very well however it would be breakable if that cold. I bring mine in during late fall.

Not for me. The body developed a crack within a week of playing. I'm not using it anymore because the strings cannot be tuned with the fine tuners, they don't move, it's impossible.

Hi..unfortunately I just purchased this and have not had our winter as of yet. I would not feel comfortable assuming how it will do.

I have it put away til i need it next. I would not think it would hold up to winter conditions.

Mine was ready to go when it arrived. It was/is 4", and the cover was/is not loose. However, that was in June in the desert, so I have no idea what effect cold weather may have.

I bought this item this past Spring. I do not think it would crack in winter but I would not cut the back off. It would lose the support it needs to be used as a step. If the top step were level with the floor and resting on the floor and only the bottom step used then cutting the back off might work.

Mine came ready to play right out of the box. That doesn't mean yours will though. Because things happen during transit that can't be controlled. But I've read somewhere that the guitars get setup by the guys in the US before they're sent to customers.

I see no reason why not, I have it in 115 degree temps right now ...the sides are very thick, I don't believe it would crack

Yes indeed. I have had mine outside in rain and snow for the past year or more. Just make sure it is snapped closed!

I have just installed the box and haven't been in winter weather with it yet. I am planning to install a sheet metal cover over it and will be o.k. if I keep it dry.

I would guess so . It is fretless. Available to ship at Max's Guitar Store.
