El_Jeffe_Solid Posted April 10, 2013 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 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.
BigKahune Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 .... Many TKL cases have a double neck support, one on each side of the pocket, plus a "ramped up" area at the heel. .... +1 . . . for TKL This "ramped up" area gives some important extra support to the vulnerable SG neck joint. .
El_Jeffe_Solid Posted April 11, 2013 Author Posted April 11, 2013 Excellente! Thanks for the feedback. I'm gonna go with TKL.

SGgypsyboy Posted April 12, 2013 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.
Guest GarrettH Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 I also recommend checking www.cedarcreekcases.com. This is a divison of TKL and they always have some great options.
STEVIL Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Does anyone know where I can order a TKL 8826 online? Don't know if this is a TKL 8826, but it's a double cut for Gibson SG, and Epiphone G400 guitars: TKL Premier Double Cutaway
cjsinla Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 I'm thinking about getting this one. This has the 50's style and gets good reviews. SG Case
btoth76 Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Hello! http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/on-stage-stands-sg-style-guitar-case Make sure that the case holds the neck at two points, and has a padding for the back of the guitar. Cheers... Bence
