I fly with guitars a lot.
My advice would be to fly with a solid body in a form-fitting (small) 'gigbag'. They will fit in any overhead storage on any of the long-haul planes. Also, do not inform them that you want to do this. Just sling that bag over your shoulder and don't call attention to it. Make it seem like "you do this every day". Another advantage of taking a solid body in a gigbag is that it will also fit upright in the flight crew's coat closet. When you enter the aircraft, mention that to the first flight attendant you see. They will now trust that you are experienced with this and they'll take care of you.

Japan and Singapore.
No issues for me but I've also done it dozens of times over a few decades. Your personal demeanor makes all the difference. I can also tell the ticket counter person exactly how big, how many, and what different types of personal storage spaces are available on most of the jets that fly intercontinental. If a counter person tells me that the storage isn't big enough, I can tell them that I absolutely know that it is in fact big enough because I do it all the time w/o issue.
