We bought a guitar 3 weeks ago. Can't remember the name of the shop, but it's a big music shop across the road from Kuta Galleria, around the corner from Carrefour. It was an English brand of guitar, now manufactured in Indonesia, so it was cheaper. As it was light, Jetstar allowed us to include it with our luggage. All up, we were over 20kg each by a few kilograms, but they let us go without charging excess. You wouldn't be able to take it as cabin luggage, as it's too big. Going by our experience, I would say definitely go for it.
