brannon67 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Guys, I am looking for a good case for my two J45's.(I know, I use one in another tuning). I like the Gibson cases, but lets all face it, we would not fly with our Gibson case, well at least I would not chance it. Any good flight quality cases you recommend that will take a beating?

brannon67 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Dude! You fly with two guitars?! No, travel with one, and play two J45's around town, or places within driving distance.I just need a case built like a tank for when I do fly with one of my J45s. I want one that fits it like a glove. Mayby a carbon case or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponty Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 To press, I cannot think of anything better than a Hiscox PRO GAD ii. However, at $250 it may be expensive - I paid £80 for mine last year. It is an excellent case, and fits my j-45 like it was made for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brannon67 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Cool, I will check that company out. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spot Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Ponty is 100% right. The Hiscox top the range case is great for the $$$$. I have Cream one and love it. It fits both my Square Shoulder CW and my J-50 very well. Other option is the Calton but there are issues with ordering and they very pricey...Here's my Historic (SOLD) in the case...

Gio Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 What about this one: http://www.reunionblues.com/Dreadnought_Accoustic_Guitar_Gig_Bag-RBA2.asp OK, it's a gigbag and not a case. But it seems to offer a great protection at a good price. I plan to buy one but I have to admit I would only use it for car travelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I think the best case for a J-45 is they play great, have a good resale, I love the shorter scale, and some (mine) have the ebony bridge and board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rar Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Any good flight quality cases you recommend that will take a beating? Although I am a very satisfied owner of both Hiscox (one Pro II and one Artist) and Calton cases, and agree that Hiscox offer the most protection for the buck, if the question is really "What is the best flight case?", I'd have to answer "A recent-model Hoffee." I don't own one, but I've seen 'em up close and personal, and you get Calton-level fit and protection in a much lighter case. Unfortunately, they're pretty expensive -- still not as much as the competition's premium carbon fiber cases, but significantly more than a fiberglass Calton and four times the price of a Hiscox Pro II. -- Bob R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajay Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hoffee Cases. That's what i'm getting for my AJ. Spend the extra money for the foam insulation if you travel to gigs a lot. Especially get Hoffee if you fly with your Gibsons a lot. You won't be sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I'll second the vote for the new Hoffee cases. The Calton carbon fiber cases (as compared with the Calton fiberglass cases) are just as light as the Hoffee cases, but are very difficult to get right now. As for the Hiscox cases, I agree about bang for buck. But,those Hiscox latches pop open very easily. I'd not fly with one unless I had a case cover, too (which I do and I have flown with my Hiscox, though I prefer my Caltons). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rar Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 But,those Hiscox latches pop open very easily. I'd not fly with one unless I had a case cover, too ... I use one of those luggage straps with a TSA-approved lock, wrapped around a couple of times through the handle, when I fly with a Hiscox. That way, the latches might get sprung, but there's no way the case can come open. -- Bob R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
