Australian nation music star Lawrie Minson erupted at Qantas baggage handlers after the steel case containing his custom-made Maton guitar was smashed.
Minson shared photographs and movies of the clumsily repaired case that Qantas returned to him after flying from Sydney to Darwin on Thursday evening.
Handlers wrapped the aluminum case in just a few items of orange tape after it was nearly fully crushed in transit.
The offended musician wrote that he would file a criticism with Qantas after employees failed to clarify the harm.
Some followers speculated that the case had been ‘run over’ on its option to Darwin.
Minson was relieved that his custom-made Maton guitar, value hundreds of {dollars}, survived the flight (pictured, Minson together with his Maton after the flight)
‘It’s 3am and I’ve simply arrived in Darwin. I’m working with the unimaginable (Indigenous musician) Yirrmal this weekend,” Minson wrote on social media.
“Qantas baggage handlers have done their very best during this trip. They have reached a new personal low point in my 40+ year tour of this great country.
“I was told to go online and complain, so that’s what I do!”
Miraculously, the Maton, value hundreds of {dollars}, was fully unhurt.
“Cases can be changed, but this guitar was built specifically for me to play slide,” continued Minson.
“It was a great relief to find it intact when I opened what was left of the road case.”
In a video, Minson described the complete incident as “absolutely ridiculous.”
“That was a good road complaint – the idea of road panniers is that they can take whatever these idiots throw at them,” he mentioned.
Hundreds of shocked followers demanded a proof from Qantas.

“That’s bloody awful, absolutely no respect for other people’s property. Qantas, you are getting worse and worse,” one particular person wrote.
Holy shit. Lawrie who was run over. Compression in a cargo hull can’t do this,” mentioned one other.
“Those cases are tough. The baggage handlers really wanted to destroy your bag,” a 3rd wrote.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Qantas for remark.
