So how long would you guys wait before openjng the case? It is chilly out about 5 degrees F around minus 15 C. It just spent most of the morning in a cargo hold and truck.

I personally never wait. Can't count the number of times I've taken a guitar out of a freezing trailer straight into a gig and pulled it right out and tuned up - not like you can wait for them to acclimate in that circumstance. And while I have never had a problem that's no guarantee: I just have no frame of reference for how long it would take to be 100% sure.

Me too but a new guitar that spent all day in the cold? My vehicle is heated. The Wildwood dude said a few hours. Is that 3? 6?
Do the 4 hrs. If its warm its good

It ain't 5 above F there. I would have no worries about that.

Checking usually only happens involving extremely cold temperatures. I just happen to talk to someone today that this happened to.
5 degrees is pretty dangerous. Do not open it, as you probably won't. I always take it out of the box pretty early-on because it's a wasted layer to wait on, I think. The key is to do the hand tap trick by having the guitar unlatched and quickly opening it to touch the guitar real fast before getting out quickly again. Don't begin doing this until the case hinges and the case itself are feeling nothing more than maybe ..cool.

Thy will be done.
Sorry Geoff I have never had the extreme cold to actually deal with.
What feels cold in my location is about 35 degrees F
So I haven’t got a clue how warm it should be.

I know, it's just a guitar. Been considering a 1960 Reissue for awhile now and the finish and wood on this one really struck me.
Also pretty expensive so I look forward to playing it.

Iced tea burst is my favorite. Sounds like you have just the right flavor going on.
This summer was the last season they are going to use that stage. Next summer’s concerts are going to be out on the point where the merry go round was.
