merciful-evans Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) Yes, I was sorry enough to picture some of my cases. I dont suppose I'm the only one though. The first one is not actually that much good. Its strong enough to do its job, but the latches dont line up well, so the head end needs a thump to engage.

merciful-evans Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) This is a ric case. Its pretty good. The best part are the latches they can be opened & closed with just a finger. Quiet too, like a quality car door. Edited January 9, 2021 by merciful-evans 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) Good old generic 80s tweed case with Tele - which in fact has its own black Fender case Calton (UK) early 80s made to measure, reinforced fiberglass - apologies for kitchen floor shot My favourite guitar case would be a black Gibson chainsaw with all the latches working. Those recent steel(?) ones didn't look bad either. Edited January 9, 2021 by jdgm 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a SG one (e-bay add) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brucebubs Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I believe this is the 'period correct' case that came with my new Historic 1957 SJ-200. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mihcmac Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) My LP Chainsaw case proved to be a very good fit for my Blues Hawk.. I have a few identical LP cases. Another one of my LP cases, one of a few I got at the same time. I have 3 different SG cases for 4 guitars. My Black SG My Gibson SG case fits my Wilshire a little more snug than my Epiphone SG case. SG case for my Tele. My oldest LP case that survived travel, the other LP cases are cushier inside and fit the contour a little better, but this one protects my Blueshawk's Tremolo the best. Same old LP case for beating around. My Strat case for my Ibanez.... Most of my cases are used for unrelated guitars Edited January 14, 2021 by mihcmac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Pepper Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 You guys got work to do. There are not enough stickers on those case. Which is what cases are for other than storing your guitar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 Here's a surprising one. Hagstrom. Chinese made (so is the guitar). The case, like Hagstrom branded components on the guitar (pickups, tuners), are surprisingly good. Its one of the few that I could stand on. I weigh 11.5 stone (161lbs). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use two MIJ bags to hang guitars in a wardrobe (closet). The PRS ones are good, but I still don't like them. I'm selling a PRS right now & it'll be good to see the back of that scribbly black bag. I suppose I'm old school. Even the shltty old Stagg case (that's unfit for purpose), became usable once I filled it with shaped foam board. Its a bit of a jigsaw puzzle, but you know, in a pinch...
