El_Jeffe_Solid Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 The case for my old 74 SG is falling apart and smells like butt, so I needs to gets me a new case. Both the Gator GW-SGS Traditional Wood Case and the TKL 7826 SG Style Electric Guitar Case have good reviews. What I'm looking for most of all though is a case that has good neck support, as SGs are a bit notorious for broken necks. Any suggestions? Much appreciated.

L5Larry Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I've bought three replacement cases over the last couple of years. As TKL cases are good enough for Gibson to put their name on, I figured they were good enough for me, so I stuck with the OEM supplier, TKL. Many TKL cases have a double neck support, one on each side of the pocket, plus a "ramped up" area at the heel. The cases I bought (Les Paul, L-5, Tenor Banjo) were a perfect fit and finish, and very reasonably priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 ....

SGgypsyboy Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 the TKL 8826 has dual neck supports where as the 7826 has a single neck support. The 8826 also has an arched lid and the 7826 is flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
