Chuck is all about the money, that is sure.
If he still travels like he did in the Hail, Hail film, he carries his suitcase with him and checks his guitar as luggage! He considers his guitar to be a tool, and if it gets lost or damaged he just buys another and writes off the loss on his taxes.
I'm sure Chuck is not the only musician like this. I live in a big music town, and I always see people picking up their instruments at the airport baggage reclaim.
