I had no problems carrying on an HG in a gigbag on two flights (Albay to Washing ton/ Washington to Amsterdam) The US leg of the trip had a much smaller overhead compartment but the instrument did fit. On the larger flights the over head should be no problem. The security people were quite curious but they took me at my word that it was actually an instrument.
