joseph1597 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Is the Gibson soft leather case actually good enough to protect a les paul head stock from breaking if it fell over or was dropped? Is a hard-shell case more protective? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tx-ogre Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 A hard shell case is a much safer option. My first guitar was a 2002 Gibson LP Faded Special that didn’t come with a gig bag or OHSC. I purchased a gig bag, thinking it would be enough. However, every time I transported it to lessons, etc., I became more and more concerned about potential accidental damage. I ultimately returned the gig bag with the 30 day return period and purchased an SKB HSC. Since then, I now own seven electric guitars and three electric basses, all of which are transported in the comfort of a HSC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
