Vineburg does it all the time.  I think he said there's one plane that it 
won't fit in (I think it's a widebody).  I've seen guys carrying classical 
guitars in gig-bags on 737-100s.
If it absolutely won't fit, if you're nice, you have a good crew, and the 
flight isn't overbooked, an attendant will often stow it in the coat closet 
for you.  When Bill came down here, one of the Alaskan attendants actually 
removed a floor panel in the isle and put it down there.  I wouldn't even 
attempt this on a Southwest flight with their cattle-car seating.
C-ya! Rich
