As a guitar player, this whole scenario gives me nightmares; which is why I don't fly with any of my guitars. [I don't fly United and try not to fly through O'Hare either, but that's beside the point.] But to have United show total indifference when their baggage handlers are the cause of a $3,500 Taylor guitar getting trashed makes my blood boil.
The full story can be found on the News page of Taylor's web site.
So, for your listening enjoyment, here is Canadian singer/songwriter Dave Carroll singing the first of three songs he has vowed to write and release about this event.

United Breaks Guitars

We reserve the right to delete comments, but the failure to delete any particular comment should not be interpreted as an endorsement thereof.
In general, we expect comments to be relevant to the story, or to a prior comment that is relevant; and we expect some minimal level of civility. Defining that line is inherently subjective, so try to stay clear of insulting remarks. If you respond to a comment that is later deleted, we may take your response with it. Deleting your comment isn't a personal knock on you, so don't take it as such.
We allow a variety of ways for commenters to identify themselves; those who choose not to do so should take extra care. Absent any prior context in which they may be understood, ironic comments may be misinterpreted. Once you've earned a reputation for contributing to a conversation, we are likely to be more tolerant in those gray areas, as we'll understand where you're coming from.
