The Important stuff

Case. Dreadnought. Guitar Cases — A good guitar case is essential for protecting your instrument, whether you’re travelling, gigging or storing it at home. For everyday use, a padded gig bag is ideal for portability and comfort, while a hard guitar case or flight case is better suited to air travel and touring thanks to its reinforced shell, lockable clasps and sturdy latches. Electric guitar cases and acoustic hard cases offer protection from knocks, humidity and dust, helping to preserve your guitar’s finish and setup. Moulded ABS cases, wooden cases and lightweight soft bags each have their strengths, so the best guitar case depends on how you play, travel and store your gear.. Hard. Junior.
