NEW GUITAR TRAVELING CROSS-COUNTRY IN BACK OF TRACTOR-TRAILER?

Help. being the cheap sob's they are, the company I purchased a guitar from ( Epi LP Tribute, if this matters) decided, as they did not have one in stock on east coast, to truck the guitar across country from Reno,NV for a FOUR day trip to my house.

Given that guitars and heat don't mix too well, any advice on how the guitar should be handled?

Update:

It's on it's way. I did not know what was going on until it was too late.

Yes, I know how it gets from A to B, but it's been in an A/C'ed warehouse and it's traveling from Nevada to below sea level. Maybe I took too many physics courses in college.

I have heard it's better to let the guitar sit for a couple days to acclimate to the new environment before one attempts a set-up.

Anyway, you are probably right. I'll stop worrying and see what happens.

Thanks for the answer.

    I think you are fine. It is an electric guitar, not acoustic meaning it will not have any effect on the "base" or inside of the guitar. This is what you are mostly worried about. And think about it, how did the guitars get to the east coast in the first place? Truck and planes.

    Make sure that it isn't warped, and make sure that the neck won't have two notes that make the same sound because then you know it is for sure warped. If it is, they have no choice but to refund you. Also, you could just wait until they have more in stock.
